The Coquille Herald PUBLISHED EVERT il K s D A V Shots Cause E xcitem ent Considerable excitement w a s caused Friday evening at about 6:30 when five shots distuihed the quiet of our little city, coming from the upper story of A W Kelley’s resi dence across from the city hall. Quite a crowd collected hut no oue seemed auxious to investigate ihe cause of the sleds. As usual when iu need of an officer's services none could be fouud. Finally A. W. Kelly came up tioiu his store aud investigated. Upon coming out of the bouse he informed the crowd that there was no trouble and that his son Ellis and a young man who boards witn them had tired the shots out of the hack window on the second lloor of the house. This is rather a poor policy to in dulge iu aud there is an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of fire arms within the city limits. The young men considered it a good joke hut the citizens List gathered in front of the house differed witn them. As one man was heard to remark, “It was a mighty poor time to he celebratiug the 4th of July.” Saturday morning the boys were fined $5 apiece by Recorder Law rence. It is pointed out that when our youth can afford $2 a shot lor tar get practice it ought to cause a dim inution ot the talk of hard limes. By the time this paper is out it may he sale to tell something on a cartain city editor who shall be nameless. When the excitement was at its height and the crowd was standing iu the street anxiously peering at the upper windows lor signs of possible tragedy, the icport- er was there aud on the job. Just then one of the young men in the dusky room, who were thcm-elves wondering what all the crowd had collected for, struck a match. Its resemblance to the flash of a gun caused such a poignant feeling in the reporter that a hole had just been bored through his anaiomy, aud brought such a shock to his nerves, that this is suspected to he the reason for his temporary retiie- ment from the excitement of city life to the sylvan shades of Brewster valley.
