"I Just want you to see my sweet peas, John," she said, as she rose and led the way to the fence where they made a bright border for the lawn. "Theyro prettier than for years."

Coroner Swantz returned the verdict of accidential death Thursday in the case of Alfred Wlnther, the little four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Winther, 672 Laporte av., who was killed by a bullet discharged from a 22 calibre rifle while held in the hands of Ernest Reynolds, ten. Reynolds and Howard Pittman, his companion, told practically the same story over and over again and all the evidence of the inquest tended to show that the shooting was not intentional. "It is a sad case," said Dr. Swantz, after rendering his verdict, "and I feel deeply the keen regret and anguish of all concerned, especially the bereaved father and mother. I think, however, that the editorials in the evening and morning papers hit the nail squarely on the head. "The boys are not to be blamed. They are too young to realize the danger of carrying firearms. There is no statute or act that can hold such extreme youth culpable when a gun is discharged without intent. Yet the fault lies somewhere. There ought to be someway of protecting innocent lives. It should be made a criminal act to place firearms in the reach of children. "It has been a common practice to allow children the use of firearms in the belief that it affords them good training. It is too dangerous and should be stopped by statute or ordinance. Parents who allow their children the use of dangerous weapons should profit by the experience of the parents of these boys who feel keenly this tragedy." May Be Arrested. It is probable that affidavits will be filed by the city attorney's office charging the Reynolds and Pittman boys with violating the ordinance against shooting in the city limits. Prosecutor Montgomery explained that the case is out of his jurisdiction since, if the shooting was accidental, there is no state law under which the boys could be punished. The matter was accordingly turned over to City Atty. Romig. The case may be heard in the juvenile court. "I am satisfied that the shooting was accidental." said Montgomery Thursday. "We couldn't hold the boys for manslaughter. I think, however, that some action should be taken in such cases in view of the many complaints, especially from the west end, regarding frequent shooting." Even the parents of the dead child are said not to be in favor of prosecuting the boys. The prosecutor, however, agreed with the NewsTimes editorial to the effect that there should he a law enjoining parents to keep firearms away from children.

Under an act of the last legislature

BY MARGARET TOBIN. Wednesday was a great day for Plymouth. When tho special train carrying the Ellsworth store picnic party delivered its freight of laughing, shrieking, romping girls and boys they were all girls and boys for the time being at the Vandalia station, the whole populace was assembled on porches and street corners, waiting in pleased anticipation to welcome their triumphal entrance. The demonstration fwlly realized their expectations. It was as good as a Fourth of July celebration, county fair, and political rally, rolled into one. The parade was in constant review from the station to the fair grounds. Little boys followed it on foot and on bicycles and it left a trail of buttering excitement and comment ir its wake Runners 4,;otM Them. Kllsworth banners were distributed by a lavish hand along the way. The little penants were the touch of nature that won tho townsfolk and took them into tho fun. The boys fastened them on their bicycles. They were used to decorate horses and vehicles. And tho women, after carefully reading the inscription thereon, tacked them up on their porches. A thousand of the little whitte banners tluttered in the breeze. It was surely Ellsworth day in Plymouth. They reserved their comment until the parade had passed when they had a great deal to say. They all agreed that the girls were pretty, most of them. They thoucht it a shame that a town so large as 'outh iJend should provide no proper place to hold a picnic. They approved of the wisdom that had selected the Plymouth fair

the shooting of rats, in which the boys said they were engaged, is permissible, but only on a day designated by the governor in a proclamation. No such proclamation has been issued.

grounds, there could be no better choice, they were sure. It stimulated the imagination of one man to hope great things for Plymouth. "Look there," said he to his neighbor, "all them people came clear from South Rend to have a picnic in our park. Just see what an advertisement-that is for Plymouth. T allers said that if we'd spend a couple of thousand dollars on that park we'd have crowds a comin' in here every week." And his neighbor agreed with every word .he said. Thus is enterprise stimulated. The First VisUor. Just as the party had begun on the dinner the village wag excuse me, Plymouth, I meant the local humorist appeared and introduced himself as the master of ceremonies. As is always the luck of wit he was seated at their right hand and invited to help himself. Uetwecn his sallies he established the relationship between the Ellsworth store and Plymouth. W. K. Lamport, tho advertising manager, of course he knew him. Knew Rill since he was a little snavcr. He was proud to know he had grown up to bo the Hrst aid to the commander-in-chief of an enterprise like that. And there were the Smith girls, they grew up near him, right down there by Pretty lake. He knew them well before they went to the city to make their careers in the industrial world. And the Jones girl, her grandmother lived just down the street from him, about two blocks. Popular With (Jirts. The wag was a fat man who had found, it expedient not to abandon suspenders, but that did not interfere with his popularity. The girls showered attentions on him, a half dozen hanging on each arm. They decorated him with the colors of their respective ball teams and it was only by a stratagem that he made his escape from them and went down town to spread the report of the "doins" on the hill. During the afternoon the neighbors came in bunches of twos and threes to observe and comment. Even the cows came up for a look. Many of them not the cowe, of course stayed to visit and to compliment the party on its foresight in coming to Plymouth. Those who were there at supper time stayed. Even the draymen, come to haul away the paraphernalia, were honored guests. The townsfolk had considered the parade in- the morning interesting: The "glow worm" parade in the evening was a brilliant, dazzling, demonstration, the like of which they had never dreamed. As it took its vivid, undulating way down the principal streets, headed by the Plymouth band tho entire populaticn gathered to see. Came to Say (;mhI Rye. "It bigger than the Fourth of July, ain't it?" shouted one woman to her neighbor across the street. . "I should say," she shouted back. The crowd closed in behind the parade and followed it about. They assembled en masse at the station to wave good bye. The band played "Home. Sweet Home", and "Auld Lang Syne" by way of regret and invitation. The shout that went up when the train pulled out was cordial and full of good-will. Yes, it was a treat day for Plymouth.

A letter has been sent to him asking for his advice on the matter. . Petitions were received by tho board of public worka and later turned over to the board of public safety asking that Silverman be compelled to stop working on Sunday. Investigation was made and Silverman explained that his religion caused him to observe Saturday as his Sabbath. It was thought by members of the board that when a man took one day a week off on account of his religion he was allowed by law to work on Sunday. COTTACK HILL,.
