the Barnesville accident could be def
nitely Unidentified rumor was circulat-
ed that Frank w. Lyon of this city
had been killed in the wreck. Two tel

that he might have made a business
trip to Barnesville or some other place
in that vicinity. The rumor started
when card bearing Mr.. Lyon 3 name
was found on the person of one Of the
men. Mr.. Lyon returned from the lake
Monday morning in perfectly good

COMPLAIN OF SHOOTING IN CITY
- LIMITS

Several complaints have .een regis
tered with Mayor Fortier in regard to
boys shooting with rifles in the city.
In one instance woman was mixing
some feed for cow when a rife bull
let penetrated the pail which she was
holding in her hand. Another party
reports that window pane in his
home was broken by rife bullet.
The practice Of young boys as well
as older persons shooting with rifles
in the city limits is a very. dangerous
one and should cease. It is against
the law to shoot within the city limits
and arrests will be made if anyone is
caught violating the law.
