taken before JHstice Williams, who imposed
nhe upon him for playing tie dangerous game Ct

the day should not be permitted to exercise their
cremPed limbs in some way but on the otbsr

d number OF them assemble together for sport
n his Hssrpa
TIER contests to the point Of ANNOYANCE OF people
inside their houses but make IL positively dan
serous ior street passengers to make their way
along the street through which the juvenile CON
tes;aats hght their way. As there is d positive
prohibition by the Corporate authorities Of this
and other equally dangerous games within the
city limits, the boys should discontinue their
practice rather than render themselves amenabIe

that some provision has never been made in this
city OF play grounds for school BOYS In other
cities, particularly In the North every school
house has Its large and pleasant play ground out

chaps never have occasion to stray Exercise is
essential TO the student as meat TO the labor,r
and the boys will play.

from il before It's speed was sufficiently relaxed
He was thrown a considerable distance, and fall
Ing upon his head, sustained several very dan
2erOus bruises. He is now in an improving cOns
dition, but has narrowly escaped with his life
