Tramps no longer are to make use
Of the public playground as free
resting grounds or for their delightful
beer parties. The police are determined
to stop this nuisance and have posted
signs in the grounds to the effect that
all those who trespassed these grounds
will be dealt with by the law. If this
does not stop the tramps stricter
means will be necessary. Altho the
pull bile playground is only few weeks
old the tramps who reach the city
from day to day have misinterpreted
it's real use and have made 1t regular
resting place while each morning the
beer bottles strewn around indicate a
celebration the night before.

Master Harry Brin, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Barney Brin, had narrow es-
cape from being seriously injured in
a runaway the other evening. He was
driving the family horse, which is con-
sidered very gentle animal, when the
horse became frightened at something,
the lad couldn't determine what and
began to kick furiously and then ran,
carrying the top buggy UP an embank-
ment and overturning 1t. Harry was
thrown out and fell to the ground so
heavily as to knock the breath out Of
him. The horse by that time had cut
loose from the buggy and then, strange
to say. his fit Of fright or temper SEEM
ing to be over, the animal stopped
and viewed the wreckage. A neighbor,
who saw the accident, ran to the lad
and picked him up in a very limp con-
dition, but upon examination found no
bones broken.
