HORNS AND SHOTGUNS I. - Our sympathies are all on the side of the New York gentleman who was taken into police court the other day because he fired a shotgun ait a motorist who had parked in front of his house and was incessantly tooting his horn in order to , announce his presence to some friend in a nearby building. build-ing. The shooter, awakened from a sound slumber it was late at night let go with his shotgun and wounded the motorist slightly in the toe. The surprising thing is that he was arrested for it and not, as one might suppose, for being a bum shot and failing to hit some vital organ. Those drivers who stop at the curb and too their horns are public nuisances of a most malignant ma-lignant type. One would hardly recommend shooting for them, of course; there must be some less drastic way of solving things. But if the irate New York householder household-er had to shoot, and got arrested for it -well, we can only say that it seems a pity that he didn't inflict in-flict a little more damage.
