1t is not generally known that In
dana has law, passed in 1888, max
ing tia misdemeanor to point gun
or pistol at any one, in fun or other
wise, and imposing fine for this Of
Tense against common sense The
Supreme court, in deciding one of the
cases taken up on appeal under this
law. thus characterizes it, THE pur-
pose Of the act OF 1883 prohibiting
one penson from pointing gun or
pistol at another, is TO reach two
classes of persons, those who in ang-
er or malrce threateningly point such
a weapon at another, and those who
do so withou tanger or malice. One
class is composed of the wicked, the
other of the foolish; in one case the
act proceeds from wickedness, in the
oher from lack of sense"
