Dikes who is not yet 10 years old, and she
used knife making a number of gashes
across the shoulder and arm. None of them

dismissed the case and the parents of the
offenders against the majesty of the law
gave abundant assurance that a liberal
supply Of hickory oil would be used in con-

Cleo bikes, who was cut, was present andis
progressing finely and there Is no proba-
bility that serious consequences will result
from the wounds.
