Boys Battle With Air Guns.

Elwood. Twenty boys armed with air rifles they had received as Christmas gifts, divided forces and ea* 1 tered into a battle-royal in the north part of the city. Adults who feared the results of the conflict telephoned the police that the boys were firing on all who sought to stop them and a number of officers were dispatched to enforce peace. The boys were released upon promising to turn the guns over to their parents.
