Ed Strawns little boy was short
distance from the house Friday gath
ering flowers in the grove when some
person careless in handling firearms,
shot him in the fingers. There are
altogether too many boys carrying
pistols. They should be taken from

lot of boys about the city who de-
light in shooting chickens and poultry
just for the pleasure of doing mischief.
Mayor Culver says there are instan-
ces of bicycle riding on the side walk
of which people complain. 1t seems
to the PLAIN DEALER, that when the
street is impossible for the bicycle
there is no great harm done If the
cyclist uses side walk not thronged
with people, and dismountlng when
meeting or passing people and espsci-
ally ladies. We believe there is no
one connected with this office who
would demur to such use at such
times.
