Police News

Police Magistrate Frank Gustaf-
son, Moline, has a heart. That was
shown in police court yesterday aft
ernoon when he dismissed Private
j. NJ Hart, stationed at Rock Is
land arsenal, and his girl, arrested
on a charge of disOrderly conduct
by Special officer Edward Kittilsen,
who found them doing the bunny
hug in Sylvan park Wednesday
night. Not that the cop thought
anything about the strangle hold,
but he did object when the pair re-
fused to leave the grass where they
were sitting and take a bench. The
magistrate advised the young folks
that a pafOr was much more pre-
ferable than a public park when en-
tertaining, but then d cruel father
refused to allow the Yank to come
to the house so what was the poor
girl to do? The court gave it up.
Don't let that park stunt occur
again" severely announced the
judge as the defendants left arm in
arm. If the soldier fights as well
as he loves, goodnight for the Huns.
