Show Tlie Serenader. The "elvatcd" printer who did the shooting "fur fun" on Saturday night, remained in jail till yesterday, when he was completely sober, if not sensible. sensi-ble. Tho young gent insisted that be ought not to be lined, as it was the custom where he came from Idaho to fire pistols in the street, and nothing noth-ing was even thought of it unless some one was hurt; and more than that he meant no mischief, but merely shot his pistol out of the exuberance of the Fourth of July spirit which flowed in his veins, One of the bullets went through the window of a gentleman's bedroom, adjoining this office, passed a few inches over (.lie bed and into a door in the back part of tlie room. The gentleman gen-tleman had but a moment before stepped out of range of the bullet. The other balls whizzed past onr sanctum sanc-tum door. Taking everything into consideration, we think tlve $25 fine assessed against the typo was scarcely sufficient to inculcate in his youthful mind the proper lesson regarding re-garding the use of firearms. |
