Fined $25 ..

Harry Dyer, employed as gun
smith at the Catchall store, was fined
$500 in Justice Palmer's court for
discharging firearms in the city linn
it's.
Dyer had been repairing a gun.
and in testing it on the premises
of the Catchall store, came to grief.
1t seems that he had fitted up a tar
get in the rear of the store, and fired
at it. The bullet penetrated the wall
of the store and went whistling away
towards the railroad tracks, strik-
ing with some force near the depot.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Dyer
had any intention of violating the
law, simply discharging the gun In
the ordinary course of his work,
but unmindful of an ordinace against
such an act, and misjudging the
carrying powers of the gun.
