Outrageous Conduct of Boys

Not all cherubic-faced young lads will grow into fine mannered gentlemen… Just ask the little daughters of Mrs. John Jolly!

Sonora has the misfortune of containing many rude boys who stand in need of being hauled over the coals and taught a few beneficial lessons. A few days ago, while the little daughters of Mr. John Jolly, of Gold Springs, were driving in a light wagon at the north end of town, a number of these young hoodlums fell to and stoned them- throwing in rocks that would weigh at least from eight to ten pounds. The lads are known by description, and should a like occurrence take place, will be rewarded as they deserve for their breach of etiquette. – Tuolumne Independent,1874
