Sheriff Linville says that the bad
boy epidemic gives promise Of break
ing out again. and he is anxious to
see to 1t that the lads Of the city are
kept within proper bounds. Not long
since a farmer came as far as Will
Transport in his boat. which he moored
there, and then proceeded over the hill
to the city. on his return In the af-
ternoon he found that his boat had
been stripped Of oars, locks and rud-
der, and that 1t had been filled with
holes by youthful miscreants. The
farmer was compelled to return to the
city, secure some tin and new oars and
locks This act of vandalism was COM
mitted by lads who reside in the west
ern portion Of the city, and who make
periodical pllgrimages over the hills.
This is only an instance of the many
outrages perpetrated by youthful des-
peradoes The authorities for a time
were inclined to exercise lenlency, but
soon abandoned this plan, as boys who
were released from custody on the
promise to behave themselves soon
again became involved in trouble. An
drew Nelson is fair sample Of the
boys who have declined to straighten
up. Little more than a year ago this
lad was sent to the penitentiary, and
he is now serving SO-day county jail
sentence for giving liquor to minors.
The ofiicials feel that they had merely
wasted whatever sympathy they have
shown the erring lads, and they are
good their promise to punish
them severely,
