Holding that Wyoming’s Pa ee in ie Sha as FIVE VICTIMS OF AND SENTENCED TO JAIL TERNS Others to Be Rounded Up in Continuation of Cleanup Launched by Police Department. So successful were the raids staged yesterday under the direction of the police department that the Sandbar istrict) of West Casper has been rid of many of its undesirable residents. Five of the score or more victims of the raid were given 90-day sentences in the city js!l, others were given an cpportunity to leave town and sev- eral were notified to find jobs in Cas- per or elsewhere. All prisoners were turned over to the health authoritres for examination. Ph This system of rounding up per- sons occupying places in all sections of Casper will be followed out indef- initely until the police department es- tablishes the Inw and order regime that 1s desired here. Many of the persons taken into tolls yesterday were turned over to the health authorities for examinn- tion. . Many of the victims found to be carriers of infectious diseases will be quarantined until such time as the disease is eradicated. Through systematic work of this kind Chief Alexander Nisbet hopes to raise the moral standard of Casper rather than decrease the population of the city. Haphazard law viola- uons, prevalent in the past in many of Casper's residential sections, will not be tolerated. Chief Nisbet wants {t understood that the section of Casper known as the Sandbar contains tle homes of many worthy Casper families. His object in first concentrating on the Sandbar is to make that section of Casper a residence section where families can be reared without sub- Jecting children to open vision of tm- morality and law violation. ‘ Through consistent policing, Mr. Nisbet promises to rid the: Sandbar and all other districts of the charac- ters who are responsitie for the stigma attached to Casper and who constitute the gravest menaces to many districts of Casper.
