TO MINORS WITHOUT PAPERS
Mayor Tom Lea on Tuesday notified chief of police B.J. Zabriskie to enforce the ordinance regarding the sale of firearms to minors. This ordinance specifies that any firm or person selling or leasing firearms or ammunition to minors without the written consent of their parents or guardians is subject to a fine of $200.
Recently the police department found boys under 10 years of age had been shooting pistols with .22 caliber bullets, it is said. The boys were amusing themselves by shooting at the feet of school girls, it was reported.
