hall and skating rink the sheriff took
in tow one John Cogan, wearing a
constable's star and purporting to be
a peace officer at the dance. Now
comes Mr.. John Cogan with request
to the writer denying the allegation
made by the Herald and says he is
the only man by the name of John
Cogan living in these parts, that he is
not a constable, nor any other peoce
officer, and was not at that dance hall
on that night of the arrest of another
man not named John Cogan. That he
was at his home attending to his own
affairs. Name as reported to Herald
by sheriff.)
The married peoples dancing and
roller skating party at the Muller hall
last Monday evening was well attended
and every one enjoyed a good time.
The pleasure of the evening was not
marred to any extent by the appear
ance of the sheriff who arrested a
man for being under the influence of
moonshine. The man arrested is con-
stable, is a single man, and was not
requested to attend the party in any
capacity. The promoters of the dane
ing and skating party are all peaceful
citizens and the assistance of peace
officer was not required. We are cred
itably informed that had the con-
stable followed the timely advice of
the sheriff to go home, an advice he
failed to heed, and in consequence he
was soon placed under arrest upon a
serious prohibition charge.
