dey by the city officials and is
being given a test this week. For
merly there were no parking reg
ulations observed Cars were
punched in the center of the wide
Main street and also parked eth
er diagonally or parallel along the

ern end of the block between Sec
ond and Third streets and in the
block between Third and Fourth
The system adopted allows no
parking along the curb west of
the cross walk between the post
office and the J. F. Cook store.

block between Second and Third
streets on Main Ed Nichol, chief
Of police, says it is the intention
10 build a concrete curb in the
center of Main street from the
cross walk at the post office east

larry. The alleged burglary occurr-
ed about two years ago. The de-

that he would plead guilty. Upon
this, Judge Leiper questioned the
boy, and ascertained that at the
time of the offense the boy was
about nineteen years of age. The
crime consisted of burglarizing
pool hall at Vida. The facts in con-
nection with it, as developed, are
that this boy, the defendant, and
three other boys broke into this
pool hall at Vida and took a dime
slot machine, broke it open and |
took the money that was in it,
had lost in it about twenty dollars,
The boy stated, when asked by |
Judge Leiper, that he and the 9TH
sr boys had been playing this slot
that each of the boys
lad lost in it about twenty dollars,
md that they made up their
minds to get the money back. 1t
