night and Christmas, was the cause
of small riot in the Teaspoon Hill
section of Lakeland's dark belt sew
eral days ago and as result the
name of ebony hued James Peterson,
II years old, is on the register as a
guest at the city Jail.
Jim owned the pistol and according
to the story wormed out of the partic-
ipants in the affair, sold it to three
frying sized negroes, Sonny Bryant,
Johnny Lee and Oscar Allen, each
about Is years of age. While the fact
that Jim sold the same gun to each of
the three caused a small furry when
the victims became aware of his
ability as a salesman, the real trouble
began when Sonny, Johnny and Oscar
attempted to test the gun with bullet
loaded ammunition. Jim had declar-
ed the pistol would shoot lead as well
as blanks. There was three-way
split as to who should have the honor
of firing the first shot and a battle
royal resulted, the lad who had the
gun at the time dropping it.
During the melee one of the trio
whose identify the police were un-
able to establish, picked up the pisto
and hegan to shoot real bullets at the
other two, but failed to register hi
because, as a bystander told the off
Ger who took charge Of the situation
"they runned faster dan dem bullet:

The police arrested Peterson as thu
instigator Of the trouble.
