REAL BULLETS WERE USED
"kip" HALL NARROWLY ESCAPED
BEING KILLED.
OUGHT TO BE STOPPED BY LAW
Frenzied Crowd Carrying Young Can
mons Around on the Street, Firing
Them Into Peoples Faces, Should
be Interfered With.

Real bullets were used in guns dur
ing the celebration in Norfolk and at
least one man came so nearly being
struck by ball of lead that he is yet
today feeling happy over the fact that
he is alive and moving, kid" Hall,
while standing near the Oxnard ho-
tel, was suddenly attracted by sing.
ing sound behind his head. Then
there was crash against the plate
glass window, and when Hall turned
to see what had happened, he found
q tiny hole pierced in the window be-
hind him. A hairs breadth OF differ
ence in the aim Of the gun would have
sent the bullet into the man and there
would have been at least one name
on a death list in Norfolk from the
Fourth.
Besides the young woman OF the Pa
cfic hotel who was shot in the face
with a blank cartridge and badly in
jured, there were a number of others
who were more or less hurt by the
toy pistols One man is said to have
been hurt yesterday.
Should Prohibit by Ordinance.
There is growing sentiment in
Norfolk that the use of these blank
cartridge guns, together with dyna-
mite firecrackers of unusual size,
should be prohibited by law. The
wild shooting on the Fourth of July
has created intense feeling against
the guns and the people are talking
bitterly against them. Any number
of instances are pointed out in which
young boys or even girls, absolutely
their victims, walked along the street
firing the guns promiscuously into the
faces of the crowd. One young boy
is said to have placed the gun delib-
erately in the eye of woman and to
have fired the gun, but not until 1t had
been knocked out of the way by her
escort.
In Omaha and other cities the guns
are prohibited. Chicago allows no
frecrackers over three inches in
length and no guns. It would be hard
to find a rougher crowd than that
which shot into the air on Norfolk av-
enue Tuesday.
AS They Used to Do.
"This isn't the way we used to do
it," said Norfolk man today. "Time
was when we shot little firecrackers
all day long, one at a time, and that
was enough. Now and then a boy
would have the nerve to shoot a toy
,riI
ceptionally dangerous and done only
out in the pasture, where no one
could get hurt. Now we carry cannon
around with us and fire them into peo-
pies eyes,"
