It was the custom in the village
church Sunday mornings for all the
inhabitants to attend, and Patrick,
who never missed a Sunday, always
occupied the front pew.
One Sabbath, when the minister
was reading the Bible, several dig
~nitaries were present from another
town, and in an endeavor TO wax par
ticularly eloquent the pastor became
slightly confused and said, "And there

One Celebration
Rudely interrupted
Police Officers Break in on Crap Game
and Make Sixteen Arrests on
Monday.

One celebration of the Fourthe,of

the merit Of being exciting was rudely
interrupted on Monday afternoon when

Givern raided "crap" game which
was in progress at 100 South Rowland

each put up bond of s35 to secure
his appearance in court today. None
of the men went to the city lookup.
