BELIEVED DECREASE IS DUE TO CLOSING OF SALOONS Only $93 in Fines Paid as Compared to $256 Last Year; Report Shows Officers Are Active. Twenty-six arrests were made in Bemidji during the months of July, |in August and September as against 126 arrests made last year during the same months, according to the quar- terly report made today by Chief of Police Frank Ripple.

The number of arrests during July, August and September, this year, for drunkenness were sixteen, bringing $39 in fines. There were five arrests for viola- tion of the auto law of which two paid fines of $2 each, one a five-dol- lar fine and sentence suspended and two other speeders’ cases are still pending.
