Two Boys Injured. Chief of Police Says Practice Must Stop. Young "air rifle bandits" are caus

ing the residents of West Richmond ; considerable annoyance and worry by ! their over zealous efforts to rid the ' west side of sparrows, according to complaints received by the - police. The complaints have been so numerous lately that Chief of Police Gormon will order the patrolmen to see ; that the ordinance against the shoot- ;

lag of air rifles In the city Is enforced. According; to the police, boys come to them every day and complain that their playmates have shot them with an air rifle. One boy came to police headquarters last week and exhibited a furrow In his leg that he claimed had been made by an air rifle shot aimed at him by a boy friend. Another showed the police a large welt on his leg where he had been "shot." ' Chief of Police Gormon says that this practice must stop or prosecutions will follow. He says that not only Js property endangered but the telephone service la liable to be hindered by the boys shooting into the lead cables Which hold the telephone wires. "I don't Wee to spoil the boys' fun," said the chief, "but we are forced to interfere for the safety of the public."

Wayne Avenue and North D streets, stated that she had no recollections of any thing that happened. Mrs. Bass had been attending a dance of colored persons but was not arrested in the dance hall.

she had intended to go to the dance in company with a friend, but she guessed that she had taken too much of the liquor and couldn't remember what happened during the evening. She was fined $3 and costs.
