NUMBER 20
Last Night’s Shooting.
A REGULAR FUSILADE OF SHOTS
FIRED INTO TWO HOUSES.
From Thursday’, Daily.
This soDsuming lust to go out
and shoot at living creatures
that periodically takes possession
of many men’s minds each re
curring autumn does not nrgue
well for our twentieth century
civilization, and after all is said
in their favor some men are not
far removed from the original
savage. The thoughtless cruelty
of deed and mind, as exhibited
at ao unusually early hour this
morning by certain citizens of
conservative Waycross, is iodic
ative of the fact that we still
harbor indestructible relics of
. barbarism. Why tn it that some
people—gentle, courteous and
kind though they may be in all
matters pertaining to their own
class—will, when urged by a
damnable spirit of’ unnatural
hilarity, think nothing of inflict
ing torture equally as excrutiat-
ing as death on those whose lot
it ii to suffer without many possi
bilities or much power of retalia
tion or remonstrance.
When glorious George Dewey
perforated the Spanish ships in
Manila bay, P. I., 70,000,000 of
civilized people rejoiced, but the
actions of the “certain citizens'’
referred to above, who first
. loaded up on Heinz’s 67th variety
f (tobasco sauce—hot, very hot),
and then attempted to blow up
an establishment in Waycross
"Manila Bay” deserve nothirg
but unanimous condemnation.
Such a clever display of military
maneuverlngs might have been
more profitably used for a better
purpose. First, the advance
guard went forward on a recon
noitering expedition, and after
ascertaining that the enemy was
unprotected and in the arms of
morpheus, gave the five-shot sig
nal previously arranged upon for
a cyclonic advance. Then—
gallop! gallop I gallop! Crash!
bang! smash 1 The ferocious oc
cupants of a buggy drove up at a
loop-the-loop rate of speed and
bombarded their chosen target
for fully twenty minutes.
Where were the police? Now,
you just mind your own b—.
Well, after succeeding in do
stroying much property and in
timidating the terrified inmates
to a vicious extent, the perpetra
tors of this unpardonable outrage
drove over to the district gener
ally designated by the appella
tion of “Klondyke”and dispatch
ed a few parting leaden mes
sages to one of the houses as a
demonstration of the fact that
'they—big, husky fellows—were
not one bit afraid of the solitary
female occupant. Revolvers and
88-caliber winchester rifles were
used and one side of the "Manila
Bay’’ house contained 86 bullet
holeB.
Following is a list of the dams
aged property at that place:
^ One wardrobe, $26, silk con
tents of same, $25; large mirror,
’ (35; piano, (600; sideboard, (28;
window panes, (2: dishes, (5;
sitting room wall, (60; zinc gut
ter, (10; hanging lamp, $5; pic
tures, (12; miscellaneous articles
amounting to (26.
The “Klondyko" houses es
caped uninjured, though the oc
cupants done much lightning
calculation concerning the rapid
transit facilities to more peace
ful shores.
It is sincerely hoped that the
generous reward offered in an
other colupm for the arrest and
conviction of the “certain citi
zens * will greatly assist in effec
tively and completely eradicat
ing this egregious " shooting”
I nuisance. —E J. L
