made himself obnoxious to passers-by on |
Front street. last e-enins. He struck a |
cOlored woman ia the face and o.herw Sc |
ill-tgeated her, and then went to Locust
street, where large numbers of persons
were coasting. and annoyed people
here. lie took from boy a sled,
aad imperriled the life and limbs o. others
by thrusting it iu front of descending .leds
several persOns were slightly iniu. ed in
his manIer, and he kept up his work
intil the sled which he mad taken from
he boy was broken to pieces. The persons
injured by him should enter complaint
before a magistrate, and have him attend
I'd TO. This kind of fun is not allowable in
columbia, whatever may he the case else
where.
