The Challis youngsters who
are becoming SO Flip with their
flippers," are carrying the thing
too far. Recently, we learn, not
content with killing innocent lit
tie snowbirds, just for amuse-
ment, they have tackled larger
game, such as chickens, and it
said that they shot the eye out
of a horse not long since. These
''fippers" are dangerous weap-

SO complaint has been made by
the Cinnamon about the sly
way some of the boys go to
Chinatown at night and throw
rocks at their buildings-break-
ing windows and doors and
knocking down stove-pipes, and
especially making life burden
for Charlie Fee, an old and de-
crepit Chinaman, who bothers no
one if left alone. He is about
half crazy, and on one or two oc-
casions, when annoyed by these
lads, has pursued them with a
butcher knife. We desire to
warn these boys if this deviltry
is not stopped some of them will |
get badly hurt some of these
nights. And we also learn that |
the sheriff will arrest the whole |
gang of you if you are caught |
rocking Chinatown again. Your |
names are known, but we with
hold them from publication this
lime, hoping that in the future
you will try to do better and be
ooys-not hoodlums.
