ITEMS FROM i.

June 14th. 1901

The police are considerably an.
noyed by the discharge OF fire
works. It is contrary to the city
ordinance to discharge fireworks
except on the Fourth of July. But
there is no law prohibiting the sale
of the fireworks and so long as the
stores sell the goods so long will the
boys purchase them. Officer Tobin
in speaking OF the annoy ance just
at present said last night: at is
simply outrageous for the stores to
sell dangerous fireworks to chill
dren. 81 know of a case where a
child obtained dynamite cracker
in store for a cent. The child e
father discovered that the little tot
had the dangerous dynamite cracker
and thereby prevented the child s
face from injury by its explosion.
There is not the slightest doubt
but that the discharge of that dyna.
mite cracker would have severely
injured the child" Complaints
have been made OF the discharge of
fireworks in town but the boys can
not be reached.
