MADE WILD THROW

Stone Intended For Teaser Smashed Plate Glass Window

Being tantalized by a small boy Sunday morning, Charles Kroh, grandson of John Kroh, of 
Railroad Street, hurled a stone at the boy, which missed the mark and went through one of the 
large plate glass windows at the store of Stewart & Shaffer, on Carlisle Street.  The accident 
occurred about 10 a.m. and attracted a number of people.

Young Kroh is feeble minded, and by reason of this condition, he is often the victim of 
teasing, at the hands of thoughtless boys.  His passion is uncontrollable, and it was in one of 
these spells that he hurled the stone.

The glass is insured in a company represented by J. H. Brough, who will have charge of the 
adjustment of the damage.
