IL We mistake not there 10 an ordin-
ance against shooting within the cor
pOraiioR. We desire TO call the atten-
ton Of the proper authorities to the
total disregard Of this ordinance by a
certain class Of citizens, who 60 about
the streets at late hour Of night, and
sometimes even at an early hour, pop
ping their pistols in almost any direc-
ton. Especially is this the case on Sat-
urday nights. The shooting not only
eisturSs the peacs and quiet Of good
citizens, but it eEdAngers life. A ran
dom shot has often done deadly work.
1t is absolutely necessary that we should
have stricter police regulations or the
laws we have more rigidly enforced.
No town can get along very well unless
coed srder 10 maintained.
