The article in the West Duluth col
umn of the Herald one day last week
about the antics and misbehavior of a
crowd of young boys seems to have
taken root and done considerable good.
Rev. Father Feehely of st. James par
ish addressed those who attended the
morning masses last Sunday on the
matter, and has been quite active for
some time in suppressing this crowd
Of boys. He has informed the parents
of number OF them, and it has had
u beneficial effect. This crowd OF boys
has maintained two shacks on the hill
where they would congregate, and ap
rarently try to see who could develop
the highest pressure of cursing power
and the greatest variety of deviltry
Last Sunday one of the shacks was
removed, and the boys ere becoming
scattered, but careful watching will be
necessary for some time for in such
places criminals are made. Father
Feehely is in favor of having a HUI
name and probation officer appointed
for West Duluth, believing that IT
would do much good. .S'@'-'! J
