On New Years Eve lot of the Col
fax boys set in to ring out the old
year and ring in the new" but they
did lot of rowdy and malicious
tricks that were very much to their
discredit. They broke big vnIu-
able window glass in one of Mr.. j. A.
Williams stores on Railroad Avenue,
and tore up number Of the foot
bridges at the street crossings.
Those chaps evidently don't appre-
ciate the difference between things
that are funny and things malicious
and silly. They should know that it
amt funny to mock and laugh at a
driveling idiot, nor to kick a crutch
from under cripple.
