No arrests have been made among the boys who serenaded T'aul Reinking Monday Bight, and it likely that there will be none. It has been learned that the boys were only seeking fun and that It was not the work of a gang of toughs as was first reported. According to the boys’ story there was no malicious intent and the general feeling seems to be to allow the matter to drop. There are two bides to the question, one being that tne boys are bound to do what boy* have always done, et out their pent-up deeirea to do something, ana the other is that sometimes they go a little too far. and get a little too rough. • o — CENSUS REPORT.
