They were not members of the curling club. but just walked into the rink and ap- propriated the stones belonging to members. As the game went merrily on, General Utility stepped in and gave a little Sunday lecture and promised more for Monday morning. Squire McMregor made it $2.25 each and there were nine young men. We believe some of the young men were not ending, but, hearing the noise, merely stepped in 06 the street, and were there long enough to be nabbed. Others have been curling on Sundays before and make light of the law in other matters as well. For these young men there is trouble ahead.â€"-Dundalk Herald. ‘ Why that fine looking outfit does not cull around this burg so often now. The. attraction must. be gone.
