deseret news yesterday morning between seven and eight g h t I 1 was busily engaged in the g garden r den when I 1 was startled by the whiz of a bullet which passed near me soon after while walking towards the house I 1 from some causel caused cause know not what stopped and at that instant a second bullet passel passed in front of me which had I 1 continued one step further would undoubted have went through my lungs soon after a third one came through the yard where my children were at play and very near one of my work handy hands who stood there with a horse aroused by this repeated danger I 1 started without taking time to get my lat hat hat to find whence the bullets came from and was accompanied by bro john taylor the tailor and bro neilmore Ne imore I 1 learned aiom lom from bro taylor that some of his bis children accompanied by bro Neim pres were pick ipg ilg curr currants antik antil from the bushes south of his residence and that hearing hearings the sharp hum of the bullets he called the children in at af the same time one of Nein lores fores family was wat passing along the sidewalk with a child in her arms and was startled by the sharp hum of a bullet passing very near her we three passed on to the east side of the block and learned from the wife of a neighbor that she and her husband had fired a pistol which had been loaded for some time her husband discharged one load and passed it to her and she discharged the remaining two sue she also informed us that a neighbor near by had ared fired a few shots we enquired of tiie tile neighbor and learned from him that chehad he had taken down his bis gun and discharged two bullets ther efrom both parties testify to tb having discharged their arms towards the ground and in the same direction but he be that as it may there were only three bullets came near my premises promises and from irom the hum they appeared to come from one piece and from the testimony of the lady bhe ehe did not suppose a pistol would throw a bullet ballet across a block nut hut the distad be from their house bouse to mine was over a block and a half I 1 learned in conversation with toese loese persons that they had no conception of the force ot of firearms nr earms when firing a gun or pistol from five degrees and upwards ards towards level ground the bullet build will glance and pass on with its full velocity and parties not nod accustomed cus tomed to the use usa of fire arms should be extremely cautious you have through your columns frequently given strong caution on this point but the careless and dangerous practice still continues wo we feel thankful that some of us did not get killed or wounded from the preceding it appears that the writer of the letter with portions of the families of taylor and aelmore bad a very narrow escape from danger and death through the carelessness and ignorance of some parties panties in discharging firearms it does seem strange that either zan man man or woman could have so little thought as to discharge either gun or pistol loaded with ball anywhere within the limits of the city such misconduct is inexcusable and deserves more than a severe reprimand bro Sue daker daken states that the parties expressed the deepest regret for their folly and promised never to be guilty of a repetition of it oe or it is likely that he would have had them arrest arrested ad so bo mar far so good but regret however sincere would have been unavailing in case of wounding or death the escape from which in this instance seems to have been little less than miraculous there is a city or inflicting inflict lne ine fine or punishment for dis discharging barging loaded firearms within the limits of the municipality but we regret to have to record its violation so frequently quent ly A As s caution and warning through h toe press see seem m to be utterly unavailing to stay the practice complained of b by ovir correspondent it is therefore very rosira des desira lra ira ble that parties violating the one now referred to should be made to endure its penalty and any parties taking the necessary steps to have this law enforced would be nothing short of public benefactors better to have those punished who thus violate wholesome law before their folly causes death or suffering than after froli from SATURDAYS DAILY joany JULY 6 THE nane BANE
