Not long since q few sportsmen
% Emporia came into our quiet ltttle toV
IN and commenced the firing OF their gu
while our streets were full of teams, 81
al we have been since informed that one
Oh two Of the gentlemen are Of the CT
es council, where they make laws pIOhib
~ ing the firing of guns on their ssree
n and then they come down here q
A. throw off their city pride and IRE the
rs guns. SIMPLY because our town is not
corporated- Their reckless shooti
~ might have caused runaway of some
u the many teams that were hitched up
50, our streets. We do not think that m
IL from the city would chow better jud
ment than to b guilty Of such an Q
is We do not think It right for people "
sw come from the city and try to impC
as upon our village simply because We ha
,ra not an officer of the law in our mid
and should this ever occur again =
aAs will give names. and Will not even e
he cept any of the select few, and this "
B., not be q pleasant task for the Orphan.
