THEY LIKE TO RIDE-There are
two or three small boys in this town
who have an abnormal appetite for
buggy riding. Monday they took 4
mans horse and buggy from Wash
! ington street and started south on
Second street at a lively gait but were
headed off III less than two blocks.
| Tuesday they conducted a similar en-
terprise with similar results, and yes
/ terday they drove away Il horse and
| buggy belonging to a woman and were
overhauled by a clerk in a grocery
store before they got very far. If
something is not done to break this
habit that is fast becoming chronic
they will some day ride themselves in
to the county jail or reform school.
