The supposed practical joke Of tvs,

they were alone In the house, may turn

The ringing Of the door bell was
continued at slight intervals for more
than an hour and aDout 9 O'Clock a re-
volyer wbs fred several times along
the side Of the house. Mrs. Carter
and Mrs. Holden were naturally greatly
excited. When the $50 train arrived
they called out the window TO passers-
by and Mr.. and Mrs. Price Jackson went
in the house and stayed with them
until Mr.. Carter got home at 10

taken place got his gun and went on
a search for the intruders lie found
Clara and Estella Thomas. two colored
girls who told OF seeing two men run

house and claimed the men shot at
them. Mr.. Carter succeeded in getting
a trace OF the direction they took and
from other clues felt sure that he knew
at least one OF them.
Today he accused a i7-year-old boy Of
being implicated in the affair and the
latter eventually admitted that he and
another boy, both Of whom work for
the railroad. were guilty but said they
did IL as a joke. One Of them lives in
Edge Moor and the other in Whining

Mr.. Carter has been advised by friends
TO prosecute the two boys but has not
