SWIMMERS PROTECTION

An example of the bravado and utter
disregard for the law that is exhibited
by certain of the Juveniles of this
community is shown by the rather
unusual methods employed by a
gang" of boys to protect themselves
from watchman while swimming in
forbidden waters.
The ice pond on the Bennett estate
possesses marked attractions for the
youths as swimming pool, more so
probably because the pastime is pro-
hibited at that spot. 1t is the custom
of Watchman John Kreiger to keep a
sharp lookout about the pond to pre-
vent the boys from indulging their
natatorial proclivities. A hard time
he has of it too, for their ways are
divers and dubious and difficult to Cir
cumvent.
On Tuesday, however, the climax
was reached. Mr.. Kreiger was inform
ed that the gang was in possession
of the pond. and he fastening to rout
the offenders, what was his surprise to
hear the sharp command to "Halt !"
and to find himself facing the bust
ness ends of two dangerous looking
guns, behind which were two of the
boys who We're standing guard over
the pool to protect their comrades from
the depredations of the enemy.
Mr.. Kreiger, naturally, was at a
loss rs to how to proceed, and think
ing of no way to outwit the lads, beat
n dignified retreat.
After the first section had finished
its bath, the members manned the guns
and did guard duty, while the others
had their swim.
