Then there‘s the elderly spinster who always sniffed when anyone suggested that she did not have a husband. "I have a dog that growls, a parrot that swears, and a cat that stays out all night. Why should I want a husband?" All the officer had to do, was swing his machine around the moh urtil he was in front of them and then break them up until they were riding in single file. But not him, he kept right on going. Maybe it was near his dinner time. Every once in a while some of the residents complain of the shooting. mostly for reasons of their own. One of the shooters was saying the other night that the best reason for not shooting the starâ€" lings came from a lady, who claimed that the shooting did not bother her at all, but that it frightâ€" ened her dog.
