In the upper tor) two stoves had been set up and light was furnished by a hanging lamp. The officers declare that both j stoves and lamp constituted a source of Imminent danger from fire nnd ! lhat. had a fire started, the dancers would have been trapped. Moreover, there have been com., plaints .if immoral dancing and dis-1 orderly conduct Rt the dances. Thej police state that neighbors have ad-: vised them lhat the dances have last ed well Into the morning hours and j that, after midnight, the scene be come anything but decent The last: dance held there was last Friday night. The owner of the barn has been! rentina it for five dollars a night butj the officers are not uulte sure ns tot who has been managing the dances.
