An old store building at the corner
of North 5th and Columbia streets,
which has been in use for some time ns
a dance hall, has been the subject of
complaint from residents in that part
of the citv. An investigation bv the
i police Saturday night revealed that
jthe complaints were not altogether
without foundation, but no arrests were
made. Warnings were given however,
and Chief of Police Welsh states that,
if further complaints come in he will
be compelled to close the place up. The
chief wishes to cull attention to tho
fact that the state law provides a pen
alty not only for drinking at a daii'-o,
but also for having liquor in one's pos
session. That there was iudulgnce in
strong drinks by some of those iu the
vicinity of the North 5th street hall
Saturday night he has evidence.
