DENlZENS OF UNDERWORLD
 GIVEN NOTICE TO VACATE

Deputy Marshal Percy Charles paid a visit to Flat during the early part of the week, and as a result of his visit there is grief among the denizens of the under world After investigating the conditions there the deputy marshal gave notice to the frail sisterhood that they must make immediate preparations to vacate the pres ent restricted district, and take up their abode outside the confines of the town of Flat.
 The action of the marshal was taken as a result of many complaints of disgraceful scenes enacted on the public streets of the town The restricted district is in the very heart of Flat, and the Haunting of vice in the faces of the inhabitants has been any thing but edifying.
 It is understood that a new restricted district will be set aside for them below the town.
