In Cowboy Style.

The boys of all the public schools in Kokomo were searched for revolvers by the teachers Monday and over a hundred pistols were found which had been sold as toys, but which in reality are deadly weapons. The pistols shoot regular 22oaliber cartridges which kill at short range. The shooting of one school boy by another started the investigation which resulted in the confiscation of the guns.
