We would call the attention O.
the city marshal to the perniciou:
and dangerous habit Of the boys
and some Of the young men of thi,
place, of jumping onto the moving
trains. The habit is INDUCED IL
by many who are old enough tC
know better, and while dangerou:
to the life and limbs of those who
foolishly do it, it is exceedingly an
noying and bothersome to the trair
men and hinders them in the dis
charge of their labors. The mar
shall should arrest some of the often
ders, if he has any authority so L
do, and II no authority exists the
council should create some at once
by the enactment Of an ordinance
on the subject.
