Portable to have a bullet thus
dropped at their feet, amid fall
ling particles of glass. 1t was just
at night, and from all appear
ances the act was not a malicious
one-purely carelessness-a n d
the offending party may have
been a block or two away. Open
practice shooting should not be
allowed within the city limits.
1t is unsafe, and, if tolerated,
sooner or later will result in the
death or serious injury of some
person. The city authorities can
not be too careful in safeguarding
