i Contemptible Trick.
Ono of the most contemptable pieces
of .malicious milicious mischief perpetrated in thla^section slnoe the St.
Marys ''Ink Slinger" retired into
obscurity, came to tight Monday evening when an automobile in which
Obarles O. Salberg, Charles Gerg and
Johu Oliver, of this city, were riding
struck a four-foot board into which
spikes bad been driven, on the road
by .ween Wonderly's and the Jobn
.-ami place near the head of Mohan
man. Tbo hoard contained' several
dozen spikes about three inches apart
and had been placed ou the road wtth
tbe spikes np Mid oovered with dust.
When tbe rear wheel of tbo automobile
struck it one of the spikee penetrated
tbo tire and brought tho board up
against tho mud shield witb a crash.
Tbo machine was stopped and tbe
■pita tiled off at tbe point where it
protruded from tho tire, the remaining
part was left In the tire and served as
a plug to keep tbe air in. Tho board
wm placed in the oar and brought to
Bidgway.
This is an offense that merits the
most severe punishment. Apparently
it was not perpetrated against any
particular person, but against cnybody
who might pass in an automobile.
There can be no excuse for so dastardly a trick and no effort should bo
spared to find tbo culprit-and mete out
the punishment bo deserves.—Bidgway Democrat.
