From the Adrian Advertiser 2nd. Ed. Devine and Ervin Sparke aged about 14 years, went to Austin, Cass county. on Sunday, on a pleasure trip, and they say they took revol- vers with them te kill birds. When in the neighborhood of Austin, they met a boy named Harvey Robinson. The three were going along the hedge fence hunting birds, when Devine concluded he would scare Robinson by shooting in the air. He prepared to shoot when Robinson walked around some nedge brush in the path, and Devine lowered his revolver to keep Robinson trom sec- ing what he intended doing, when the pistol struck his (Devine’s) leg and was discharged, the ball taking effect in Rebinson’s thigh. Devine and Sparks became treightened and fled leaving young Robinson lyiag on the ground. He was tound and taken to his home when a _ physician was summoned and the wound dress- ed. The wound is very paintul but not necessarirly atatalone. There ought to be semething done to prevent boys from having revolyers. It would be a geod thing if the Marshal would search all the boys occasional- ly as there are several in this place that own from one to a half dozen old pistols. Later :— The boys were arrested on Wednesday and taken to Austin where they were tried and fined for shooting en Sunday and carryng con- cealed weapons. Divine was fined $20.00 and cost, amounting to about $37, and Sparks was fined $10 and cost, $23,50. Sparks is an erphan boy, and rather than see him go to’ jail the citizens of Adrian, Archie | and Austin gave money to pay his RW Jenkins vs Tucker & Sims— | fine.
