The band which plays before the Club
Theatre every evening generally causes
a good many adults to stop and listen to
the music. The inspiriting strains also
attract many youngsters, who seem to
grow wild from hearing the brass and
drum. They run in front Of the cars
and of all passing buggies in the most
reckless manner, putting their life in
jeopardy continually. Last night at
half past 7 a crowd of boys were again
indulging in this favorite pastime. when
buggy, driven faster than the city reg
ulations permit, ran squarely over a boy
about IL years of age. He was knocked
down by the horse, but though the ami
NAL and the vehicle passed over him,
neither the horses hoofs nor the buggy
wheels touched him. He was not hurt
to any extent. The driver Of the buggy
did not stop to ascertain the damage,
and as the youngster made himself
scarce at once, his name could not be
ascertained.
