WILD WEST BOVS ! 81 SOIID! SIDE Riverside borough feels the no d of better police protection. As it is, the c borough is not able to cope with the s boys of the south side, who have org ani/.ed themselves into a sort of a wild- i west gung and aro causing all kinds of . trouble. Yesterday the citizens framed j < an appeal to Chief Burgess Shepper- I sou, asking that means be adopted to I keep the unruly fellows in bounds. SOME OK THE CAPERS. The boys devise various methods of | terrifying women and children. A fav- i orite caper is to invade a back yard at night and by peeping in the windows and stealthily moving about to create the impression that burglars are on the j ■ premises. The housessolectod are geu , erallv those in which women and coil- ( dreu are at home alone. When these start to investigate the boys often add ; to the terror of the situation by liring j j off a revolver. PLAY BOGEY. ( | Timid young girls are afraid to ven- j j tnre away from their hom< - after dark, j The boys in the character of bogey ! men turn up at. the mo. t unexp eted i places and chase them to their homes. ! This is bail enough but it is the tie - ' i passing on private property in the j»>r | forming of their prai.l.s that is especial- I j ly complained of. BOUND TO THE STAKE | A climax was reached on Tuesday • | ev< uing. Two boys v.to reside in Dan- ! ■ | ville, one a colli-boy home for his i Easter vacation, took a stroll over to . j the south side. When they reached a .'point near the public school building! 1 >n Riverside, the "pang" at a prear ranged n,.;tia! materialized—a dozen >I or so—seizing the two Danville boys! I and despite their protestations and . struggles dragged them several squares, j 3 to Sunbury street, where by means of ropes,conveniently at hand,the college j ; boy and his companion were bouutl j ~ each to a telegraph pole. All this was j accompanied with great outcry chiefly j from the two cifptives. who were i greatly terrified being uncertain as to j what ultimate fate was in stoic for , them. j There is no telling what might have happened next, if some people living ! near had not started out to investigate J and found the two boys bound to (lie telegraph poles. It was through these j that the Danville lads were released. DRASTIC MEASURES. i The above is the story related by j Chief Burgess Siiepperson yesterday, i The time has come, lie says, when they | will have to deal harshly with the j frolicsome boys. Everyone, he says, is J known,several of whom, including the | ring leader, lives in the township, j ; From now on the constable will In* on | duty each night, and if lie is not able ! to hold the boys down a special officer , ■ will be employed. One fee is assured, j the burgess says, and that is trouble is |in store for the boys, as the first one m apprehended will be obliged to pay ■ ; the full penalty. | "" How R ..rss Won the Victoria Cross. j Robert.- noted that it sowar of the | [squadron with which ho rode was in I great dan, ■ i t'nitn a sepoy with a fixed j bay. net '! :••• ■•••most <.f sword .
