A small boy stole banana from an
Italian vendors cart in front Of the
Mills Building, Broad street, this af-
ternoon. The Italian struck the boy
and this is what came Of it : Within
Is minutes several thousand persons
were engaged in riotous conduct
Fifty persons said they were injured
one Of them seriously. Men and boys
were thrown down and trampled up
on. Pieces Of brick and mortar were
hurled into the crowd The frnit
carts of a hundred Italian vendors in
the neighborhood were raided and
destroyed and all the fruit confitica-
ted or scattered in the street The
reserves of two police precints were
called out and man hunt was begun
by the police through all the buildings
in the vicinity The Italian who
struck the boy was arrested.
The police arrested one messenger
boy who seemed to be leader in the
fight. Another messenger had an en-
yeIope with five certified checks in it,
One was for 1927, 600 and another for
80, 600 They were lost in the mob
1t was reported. that many valuable
packages entrusted to messenger boys
by their EMPLOYERS are missing, the
boys dropped them during the riot. -

The long and tedious trial of Harry
Lord. for shooting Joseph Hess came
TO an end ON Saturday, last in a verdict
of not guilty. The sentiment of the
en- tire community is in accord with
the verdict of the jury, thereby, dem
onstrating the fact that the people of
this county bold that no man shall
invade the sancity of the home, ex-
cept at the peril of Ills life, but at the
same time it may not be considered
amiss TO warn the thoughtless that
this verdict is not to he taken as a
license to man for shooting his fell
low creature at the least provocaion.
The law against carrying deadly
weapons will be more rigidly eforced
in the future, thereby lessening the
danger of man to suddenly Stay his
neighbor instead of letting the law
of the land redress the wrongs COM
mitted against society, and the dignity
of the State.

directs his machine for 1t. zone of
these Jack-the- Crushers is reported to
have proudly asserted that he has
killed eight dogs so far this fall, says
the Plain Dealer. The offense is deem
ed the worse, because the right has
been tacitly conferred upon the auto
mobile drivers to run their vehicles at
a higher rate OF speed than that which
is granted to owners Of horses and
wagons That is, special privileges are
conferred and those who receive them
are expected to be particularly care
full.
This is a very novel and unexpected
complaint against patrons of the horse
less carriage. 1t does not speak very
we'll for Cleveland for more reasons
than one. If it is true, then the men re-
ferred to are wantonly cruel, though a
barking dog is ever vexatious, and fur
thermore, the city authorities are very
lax if dogs are permitted to roam about
in such numbers as to make the killing
of them a possible sport for persons
who can enjoy that sort of thing. The
city street is not d proper place for
dogs out of leash, and dog owners who
permit their pets to run about on the
highways are foisting a nuisance on
the public Possibly, the cruelty of the
Observation-Disclosures" may teach the
dog owners of Cleveland to look after
their pets properly. Indeed, affection
for dogs should inspire the owners to
keep them out of harms way, for I'M
fortunate as it is, there is quite likely
to be someone about who takes pleas
ure in manning or killing.
