But this week the names of six of the offending youth have been handed to us for publication. We don’t like to brand the boys in this public way, however, and kindly withhold their names, this time, hoping that they and others may appreciate the favor, and quit committing the crime. The initials of their last names, however, include one A., one H., one M. and three W’s.
