TweIve-Yenr-OId YOungster After n
Peace Warrant.

While City Prosecutor Arnold was busy
yesterday afternoon delving after a SUI
preme court decision he was aroused by
a small voice at his elbow inquiring for
the man who gave out warrants" Turn
ing about the city prosecutor beheld a
br.ght-faced lad, apparently not more
than twelve years of age. The young
ster had his cap in his hand and the de-
termined expression of his face indicated
that he had called on official business.
Il sometimes give out warrants" said
Mr.. Arnold what can l do for you"
wei, you see," said the boy, our
neighbors bother us and 1 want them ar
rested. They don't bother me much be-
cause l don't care what they say or do,
but they call my mother bad names and
throw stones at our windows. Mother
did not have time 10 come down town
so [ thought I would come in and get
the warrants"
City Prosecutor Arnold was rather
aghast at the Youngsters assurance. He
told the little fellow he was not in the
habit of issuing warrants upon complaint
of children, but If the boy would bring
his mother to swear to the complaint the
annoying neighbOrs should be attended to.
The youngster was disappointed but he
said he would bring his mother today.

vacant lots where weeds are allowed to
grow undisturbed. To the mind of the

making the streets more attractive and
reducing the chances of hay fever to the
citizens. his honor issued yesterday the

Mayors Office, st. Paul-To all own
ers agents or occupants of any lands
situated in the city of ST. Paul: Atten-
ton is hereby respectfully called to the
fact that considerable number of vacant
lots are infested with burdoclls and 9th
er nOxious weeds which are rapidly en-
CrOaching on vacant lots all over the
city.
There is state law requiring all such
weeds to be destroyed, and every one is
requested to cut down all weeds now, be-
fore the millions of seeds fall and make
the work harder for next year, and
thereby rid the city OF hayfever germs
and also add their mite to the beauty of
our city.
1t might be added that, after the weeds
cut down, they should be burned and
not allowed to decay in the sun.
