QUIETEST DAY
in BLUE MOON
KenOsha's Xmas a Happy
and Decent One, as All
Will Tell You.
NO ROGUES ABOUT

"What happened in police circles
Christmas ?"
Answer: Nothing at all. 1t was
the quietest Christmas we ever had.
Everybody was good. Not a pinch"
''Fire chief, what happened in your
department ~
graveyard around here.
Therefor this morning there was
not the usual trail of sinners wend-
ing their way from the city-lockup to
the municipal court. When the judge
came down the courtroom was empty,
and there were no folks around except
the regular court house employees to
wish him a "Good morning"
The day was really unusual for a
holiday and the topmost holiday of
the year at that. There were no seri-
Gus accidents either in the city or
county, and no collisions important
enough to go on record.
There were no burglaries, no thefts,
no disorderly row and no tumult of
any kind.
In some windows the Christmas
candles burned with the old-time SIM
plicity of Boston and the pilgrim
colony, sending out a quiet message
from the household within to the pas
sersby on the street; in others the
colored bulbs of electric lights made
kaleidoscope of color against the
merry windows.
The Chiefs Say THANK You"
And for the goodness and goodwill
of the citizens of every size and make
and temperament, of every creed and
race, and of almost every color, the
chief of the police department, the
chief of the fire department, the
sheriff and the coroner, and all the
enforcement officers give a vote of
thanks.
Here's hoping that New Year of
the same complexion will follow, and
that no Christmas trees will cause
tragedies through burns and that all
motorists will drive carefully.

Hard Luck on

when he lost fat hog, which he had
killed for part of his winter supply
of meat Mr.. Hoye had butchered
several head of hogs on Monday and
had hung all of the carcasses in the
yard on Monday night to allow them
to cool thoroughly. When he went
to look at them on Christmas. morn
ing, he found that some thief had
helped himself to one of the porkers.
Only few days ago Mr.. Hoye lost
a fine colt when the latter bled to
death after being struck by a fence
picket when it attempted to jump a
fence. The colt was valued at $3.50.
