POLICE TO WAR ON
SNOWBALLERS

The police are puzzled over the
problem Of how to handle the practice
Of boys throwing snowballs at people
on the street. A murder resulted on
Sunday as a result of snowballing and
the police know of numerous instances
where boys have inflicted serious injury
upon persons.
An old man was struck fair in the
face at Fifth and Tatnall streets and
the pain was so severe that he cried
out.
At Third and Van Buren streets an
old colored man was carefully driving
a pair of horses attached to a coal
wagon across Third street, in order TO
prevent the animals from slipping and
falling on the ice, when a gang of
urchins began to pelt him with snow
balls. He could not let go the reins
fearing the horses would fall. and was
compelled to take the punishment. Sew
eral of the snowballs struck him about
the head.
The police propose to make an ex-
ample OF the next boy caught throwing
snowballs at people on the streets. The
court will be informed of the existing
conditions and a heavy fine will be Inn
posed upon the culprit.
