Had they been there along about midnight mid-night of Friday, somebody might now bo writing touching resolutions about how good and kind they were In their lifetime. Happily, however, the resolutions resolu-tions nood not bo written, for Mr. Judd and Miss Rcilly are safe and well. Tho reason why all this wan Ib that somebody who had more drinks under his bolt, nnd more Joy in his soul, and moro cartridges In his pistol than wero good for him, opened up a gentle fusillade on tho city and county building. So enjoyable was this pastime that the building Is peppered with bullot marks, more particularly In the vicinity of the schools section. Two windows wore broken. One of these was directly behind tho chair usually occupied by Mr. Judd and the other lota In the light upon Miss Rctlly's desk. Tho bullets, aftor passing throiigh the windows, stnick tho walls and rlchochot-ted rlchochot-ted promiscuously. The leaden balls wero mashed and battered "beyond recognition" recogni-tion" when picked up from tho Hoor. They will be kept as souvenirs of what might have happened. |
