WINDOWS SMAsHED.-O last We'd
nesday night, about 10 o'clock, the
people along Queen, Martin and King
streets were startled by the fast dri-
wing of horse and buggy contain
ing two men. The inmates of Mat
thaei's confectionery store were more
startled by the cracking of one Of the
large plate glass windows, followed
by the echo of stone as it rolled
back on the pavement. Onward sped
the buggy, and as it passed Mr.. John
Neer's store, on King street, crash
went one of his windows, disturbing
him in counting up his days cash.
Further on, between King street and
the toll-gate on the pike, stone was
thrown through Mr.. Slagle's window.
Then there was mounting in hot
haste, and officers gave chase, but
without result, except to gather evil
dence and locate the parties. War
rants were sworn out for the arrest
of Messrs Clarence Hollis and Clar
ence Shade, and sent out at night to
Deputy Sheriff Smith, who, with
Constable Hardy, arrested them at
their homes early Thursday morning.
A hearing was had before Justice
Bartlett, and an arrangement was eff
fected by which all losses were made
good. They were also arrested by
the police, and on hearing before
Mayor Lambert, were each fined $40
This was rather costly frolic, and
we have no doubt the parties regret
it very much.
