Editor of the Reformer:-


Last evening my three boys and I
went to a moving picture show If the
public is to be censor for the moving
picture shows, !, as one, enter strong
kick against showing such rotten stuff
as was seen by the spectators, mostly
minors, in one of the thcaters of this
town last night
Ny compliments to the people of the
United States; we are Just a bunch of
d-m fools all in the name of business
While a strong man, in body and mind
is told by bunch of old hens that ne
shall not drink a bottle of good beer
these same hens will see other peoples
children go wild with applause at the
picture of a helpless man being stabbed
to death. That picture was CLOSE up
and devilish in the extreme.
Is it any wonder that girls are being
held UP in this good old town of Brat
tleboro, by boys under twenty?
Ten years hence. the hens will be
scratching over time, and don't forget
it.
Yours truly.

tending continually and is always
behind with its work so great is
the interest and the demand for

WALL STREET BOMBING
RE-ENACTED BY YOUTH
Case of Dynamite Makes Live
Target for Youths With
% Caliber Rifle.

Kids" don't take their que
from the movies, no indeed, movie
stunts are too tame for these
Welsh kids" but the movies
might get some valuable pointers
by watching their pranks for a
time.
The latest one occurred WedneS-
day afternoon. 1t shook the en-
tire community, caused pots and
pans to fall from their places on
the walls and echoed for many
miles around.
The youths who caused the ex-
citement were in the woods along
the drainage ditch in the west
part of town having with them a
% caliber rifle. Game was not
plentiful so they cast about for a
suitable target on which to dem
OnStrate their craftsmanship. Spy
ing box of dynamite which was
being used by the crew of the
dredge to blast stumpS they re-
moved a stick and set it upon the
| top of the box containing about
forty pounds of the high explo
sive. The target in place each Of
the four boys was allotted three
shots at the timid looking cylin
der. The first boy missed three
straight, and so did the seconC
and third. The fourth missed tht
first shot, but the second wen
true to the mark. He's got on
more shot coming to him yet.
The explosion shook the whole
town, breaking windows ant
dishes in nearby residences. |
tore up trees, roots, StumpS ant
grass from quite distance, bu
miraculously no one was hurt
The force of the carge seems t.
have taken the opposite direction
from where the boys were, other
wise the account might have beer
harder to narrate.
| It took some little time and
good amount of persuasion to &c
the full and correct account from
the boys, but they finally cam
clean" clearing up the whole mys
Itery.
Thursday morning the fou
boys appeared before Mayor Arm
strong and were assessed SIS
each for discharging fire arr
within the corporate limits of th
town, also they were given a fort
eight hour suspended sentenc
emitting them to admission to tn
"caliboose" on the next offens

The boys have probably learr

will stay with them throughor
life, and it is to be hoped thu
parents will be impressed wit
the folly of children possessin
