BLowplPE: ASSAULTS.
Boys Singing People Who Pass
Along the Streets.

Boys with blow pipes are causing a
good deal Of annoyance to people about
the city. A number Of persons have
complained Of being stung about the face
and neck when passing street corners
aud for time did not know what they
had been struck with. These petty as
snuts became more frequent, and al
ways happened where crowds of small
boys congregated.
Now it is known that the boys are
armed with hlowplpcs and balls of putty
and make a practice of singing every
body who passes by. That the mischie-
VOWS youngsters are good shots is at
tested by the number OF people who
every night may be seen to stop suddenly,
grab their nrcks and look sharply around.
But hy this time the pipes and putty
balls are concealed and the boys are
very innocent looking.
Before the cause of the singing sen
sation was discovered many thought their
old friend. the kissing hug. had agala
swoopcd down on Wilmington. 80, I've
been stung by the kissing bug many Il
young girl has exc laimcd since the boys
have begun putty'blowng. But m~n who
know what the boys are doing will sting
the youngsters if they catch any of them.
