With Einpd and ThraShed

Harry Lacy Frightened Children
with It-Fined and Thrashed.
A dead snake was the startling piece OF
evidence introduced in a olice court trial
this morning. II was used in the case OF
Harry Lacy, fifteen years OF age, charged
with frightening the school children Of the
Johnson school, in Mount Pleasant, by
braudiShmg the snake about by the tail.
Frank r Janitor, who took cut the
warrant against the lad, testified that in
one instance the hoy had thrown the snake
about child's neck, and that several
others received severe nervous shocks from
fright.
why, he might have frightened them
to DEATH" said Judge kImban What
r kind OF II boy are you?" to the defendant.
I'm a boy"
We'll, you must have a streak of some
thing worse in you, from the way You act
Children have been frightened To death by
less than what you have done"
The lad ; father was then called to the
stand and testified that this was the first
time he had ever had a complaint about
his boy. He thought as he lived near the
Janitor should have informed him about
the matter.
We'll, what do you intend to do about
it, asked the court
II will give him a good thrashing."
Il can't let him off on so serious an Of
fenSe without fine continued Judge
Kimball. But he should also receive as
sound a thrashing he ever received in
his life
We'll, he'll get it," said Mr.. Lacy, as he
paid the fine, and the boy face as he fol-
lowed his father out of court showed
thathe had anything but a plea SAINT prospect
before him.
