terGsy afternoon, City Attorney Anderson
and Grove L. Johnson attorneys for com
plainant, and Henry Edgerton for defend
ants. Upon opening the case the defendants
counsel interposed demurrer to the com.
plant upon the ground that inasmuch as it
sets forth that the offense was committed Ion

thereto, it states more than one offanse
The demurrer after argument was Gverruled
The prosecution then proceeded, and FIVE wit
nesses were then introduced as to the identity
OF the defendants and the nature of the nui-
sance. The fact transpile ed in the progress of
the case that the complainant signed the
complaint on the afternoon of Tuesday,
but the complaint was returned by complain
ing witness and no warrant issued until
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, and after the
play had been in progress two hours that

the Tuesday evening play, the defense asked
that no testimony be admitted as to anything
that occurred on Tuesday evening, and the

\ JUST COMPLAINT. People generally are
complaining because the police do not put
stop to the firing of pistols etc., in the streets
by the rising generation, who in their impa-
.ience cannot wait until the national holiday
to give vent to their patriotic impulses.
Yesterday, in one locality, q humber of boys
the eldest not over l0-were congregated,
most of them armed with pistols of various
sizes from the vest-pocket toy to the navy
revolver, and the din they created was
source Of intense annoyance to people in the
neighborhood, TO say nothing of the danger
to life and limb from the carelessness and in.
experience of the youngsters. Nobody will
erowl if the boys do make noise Monday,
but the fun should be confined to that day,
liz mercy to the sick and nervous.
WARNING TO BoYs.-Chief Of Police KaI-
cher states that large number of complaints
were yesterday made at police headquarters
of dangerous shooting with revolvers AID
pistols by boys. He states that no shooting
will hereafter be allowed except upon the
evening of the 4th and upon the 9th, and
during that time nothing but powder, and
any one found using cartridges viii be at
once arrested. 1t viii be well for boys to
make note of this, as it may save a bad
break in their efforts at celebrating, and any
shooting to day, or before tomorrow even
ing, viii make all persons engaged in it liable
TO immediate arrest.
