BOYS CAUSING
 POLICE TROUBLE
THROWING ROCKS AND SHOOTING OUT CATS EYES WITH AIR RIFLES CAUSE WORRY ON BOTH SIDES OF TOWN,

The rock throwing habit among boys seems to have spread throughout the city. Complaints are becoming somewhat numerous and are emanating from both ends of town. The youngsters it seems. are causing no end of trouble to both citizens and to the police. who are trying to catch them.
 Yesterday afternoon a resident of the southside entered his protest at The Age Herald office. It seems that the terri- tory bounded by Fifteenth and Thirteenth streets and Ninth and Eleventh avenues. south, is infested by a band of rock throwers and sharpshooters armed with air rifles. It is stated that the youngsters are causing no end of trouble in the com munlty in question. It Is reported that 1t is their delight to shoot out cats eyes. and 1t was stated in good faith yesterday afternoon that the youngsters are crack shots enough to hit a cats eye. The citl- zen in question stated that his cat was shot in the eye and that several others have met with similar fate.
 Complaint comes from Fountain Heights also only the youngsters on the north side do not use airguns. It is stated that they have so much confidence in their mighty arms that they won't trust the sight on an air rifle. The infested territory on the northsids is between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets and Foun- tain and Twelfth avenues.
 Chief Bodeker has about subdued the tvd xrofab about the Terminal station, but no sooner were they quelled than two other gangs broke loose and are playing havoc.

To have his head mashed completely off of his shoulders was the fate encoun- tered yesterday afternoon by Charlie Hull, a 14-year-old boy employed at the ware house of the wimberly-Thomas Hard ware company on Eighteenth street and Avenue A The boys home was at North Birmingham.
 The accident occurred yesterday after noon shortly after o'clock. There was no one to witness the accident, which oc- cured in the elevator shaft at the ware house. but the theory of the boys death, outlined by Coroner B. L. Brasher, is considered a plausible one
 The boys body was found at the bot tom of the elevator shaft, the head being

under the eounterweight. It was young Hull's business to carry orders and mes sages to the various floors of the build ing. The young man never used the big freight elevator to go to the upper floors of the building. and 1t is supposed by the coroner that he got down into the elevator pit to take out a crosscut saw handle which was found there after his body was taken out. It is believed that while the boy was in the pit the counter weight descended and that he was caught under it. His head was literally mashed from his shoulders, and his death is be- lieved to have been instantaneous.
 The remains of tho deceased boy ars being held in the morgue of Lge Loy, pending funeral arrangements.

Lyons has been confined in the jail since Lecember 23 on charges of grand larceny and receiving stolen property and Osborne's arrest grew out of the presenting of an alleged forged bond for Lyons release 8 few days ago.
 Details regarding the presenting of the forged bond are amusing. A Greek appeared at the sheriff's office a few days ago and presented a bond for Lyons The officers were suspicious of it and started questioning the Greek. He became nervous and without any warning made a dash out of the office and had disappeared almost before any of those in the office could give chase. An investigation followed and Osborne's arrest followed it being alleged by the officers that osborn forged the bond and sent 1t in by the Greek. Osborn has been employed as a barber at Ems lev.
