Neigh Register: Some of the Ne
ligh small boys have been indulging
in some very dangerous sport this
week and unless the parents put a
stop to it some of them will find a
watery grave in the Elkhorn. On
Monday several boys were skating
; and as the ice was breaking up and
floating down the river about a dozen
got on large cake and were floating
down upon it. This is most likely a
whole lot of fun for the boys, but
should one of them get in the river
; II would be sad ending of their sport
