The Northwestern railroad company
announces that a campaign will be
waged against boys in Norfolk who
persist in climbing on trains which
are in motion. There has always
been more or less trouble of this
sort. but of late the aggravation has
become more intense and the officials
of the road announce that arrests will
be made in an effort to quell the prac
tice. Noon trains coming from the
Junction to the city depot are always
boarded by youths with more nerve
than other things, who do not leave
the cars until the trains are steamng
out of town at high speed, Some day
there will be a killing and then the
railroad company will be sued for
damages. Not many years ago boy
was killed in this way near the Cregh-
ton station There is a city ordinance
against the practice, and the violat-
ors of this ordinance are a nuisance
to the railroad company, besides being
self-enemies. The company will get
names of these young men at the first
opportunity and will send them to
Jail to pay for the sport.
