MISCELLANEOUS.
BOYS CARELESS RIFE
SHOOTING NEARLY Fatal

Almost every small boy in Tono-
pan is possessed of 22-rifle. Many
OF the boys aim nowhere and care
less where the bullet may hit. On
Saturday, in the upper end of the
city, man lay sick in bed in
his tent when stray bullet pass
ed through the canvass, the missile
barely missing his head This care
less practice should be stopped at
once. Parents are to blame in al
lowing their hopefuls these rifles
as play toys. The parents of to-
day make a great mistake in plac-
ing gun in the hands of their
child instead of a book of learning.
