OFFICERS RAID
 WAS TOO LATE

Residents of the east part of town turned in so many com plaints about disorderliness at the home of Jake Utter, Sun day, that the entire police force of the community conducted a raid on that place Sunday night. The reports indicated that the ghost of John Barleycorn was walking each night at that place with the result that the hilarity of the house prevented neighbors from enjoying their nightly slumbers.
 The officers found many in- 6ications of a recent visit of the White Mule but no intoxicants were found by the officers. However. the complaints from neighbors have been so nunler- ous and persistent that the of ficers propose to keep a close watch over this place in the future.

THREE BOYS GET
 THREE YEAR SENTENCE

Three boys whose names the News withholds out of respect for their parents, were brought before Judge Jones Wednesday afternoon. charged with num- Der of thefts and other violat- ions of laws. Among the ser ious crimes charged to them were: The stealing of tires from Forest Service truck; breaking into the store of Geo. Mathews and stealing number of aticles therefrom; stealing guns and attempting to self them and stealing a consider able sum of money.
 The boys confessed to their crimes and seemed to show some measure of regret over what they had done. The Judge gave them a suspended sentence of three years in the state industrial school for boys and prescribed that they should conduct themselves as obecient sons carefully watched over by their parents, or else the sen tence would be imposed. It is to be hoped that the boys now realize the grave mistake they have made and will give no further trouble.
 The detection of the guilty boys resulted from box of pop corn. Marshal Burns saw Williams boy with a box of pop corn which he recognized as be- longing to the Mathews. stock. By questioning this boy he learned what boys were sup piled with stock of this corn. MT. Barnes was asked to bring the suspected boys down to the police judge. This he did. Deputy Sheriff Campbell con- nected up several clews of other stolen property. Judge Jones was then called and complete confessions secured.
