Dangerous and Mischievous Prac-
tice.
EDITOR PRESS
Is there no way that our Borough
authorities can punish, or fine, the
boys who carry sling-shots, Flobera
rifles, etc, and deliberately break win
dow glass in private residences, barns
and chicken coops? l have several
times been compelled to replace glass
in my barn and hen house, entailing an
expense of at least eight dollars. I
think the teachers of our schools should
search each boy and take from all
sling-shots, at the same time reporting
their names to Sheriff Norris and chief
Mundy. If do not mistake the law
imposes heavy fine as we'll as the cost
of damage.
Nov. 18th, 1910. Ell. w. GRAHAM.
We have received many complaints,
lately, of boys throwing stones at pri-
vate residences in their efforts to kill
innocent English sparrows, thereby
cracking if not breaking swindows
glass. Complaints have also been
made to the PRESS, very recently, of
boys actually shooting into the homes
of our citizens. Our officersl should
promptly put stop to this dangerous
practice, notify the parents of the pen
atty. If this continues arrest the of
tenders and lock them up in Jail. Par
ents who allow or purchase the dan
gerous weapons" are moro to blame
than the kids. One good dose of the
law will finish it. If that does not try
the Jail.

Opera House appeals to every class of
playgoers. 1t deals with story that
teens the heart from beginning to

country life soon pals on her. She ac-

is fatally stabbed by the ambushed
man. Tom, coming out to see where
his father is, is accused by he adven-

He is finally sentenced on that charge.
But his friends ultimately establish his
innocence and he is released. Retribu-
