young ruffians have. been making the railroad station their rendezvous every evening during the past few weeks. They have been making of- fensive remarks and using obnoxious language. A number of complaints were made to MT. Stephenson of the actions of the young men. When he tried to upbraid them and ordered them to leave the station, he alleges they assaulted him.
 Still More Chickens.
 In spite of the fact that a notice was recently served by Consta ble John J. Hackett in behalf of Joseph kingo on Mrs. Julius Rakowski, of Kensington, to keep her chickens from wandering on MT. Kingo's prop erty or be brought into court, the chickens still meander about the Kingo property undisturbed. Another complaint was made to Constable Hackett this morning by the incensed ', property owner and it is probable that Mrs. Rakowski will soon be brought P before Judge Griswold.
