this period, and not violation Of law
during the entire time
SO exceptionally good had been the
populace that the officers began to
suffer of lonesomeness, and consta-
bic, having nothing more exciting to
do, visited the carnival crowds and
closed one of the shows which had
been passed on earlier,an had been
operating throughout the entire week,
'for the good of the morals of the
town"
| The carnival management lodged
mo protest against the constable's ac.
tion, saying that they prided them
selves on having clean set of amuse
ments, and if the show in question
grated on the nerves Of a constable
they would close it. The girls in the
attraction Immediately were put in
charge of ticket booths at other con
cessions.
