Wednesday forenoon about 1915 the
residents of South Bridge street in
the vicinity of the Chapman grocery
were startled by the sharp report OF q
rifle or revolver, but it remained for
Mrs. Charles Knapp to have the scare
of her life. Mrs. Knapp was crossing
the floor with her baby in her arms at
the time the shot was fired and was
terribly frightened to hear ball whizz
by her and the baby. The ball came
through the window and passed through
two rooms and out through the glass
in the door. Such an act as this is
legally termed criminal carelessness
and the person who fired the shot could
be made TO snffer severely for his act
The use of firearms in the city is also
strictly forbidden and should not be
tolerated.
