UNRULY BOYS
LAND IN JAIL
FOR Wi lli FUN
Last evening five unruly buys
started in to do much mischief and
destroy property of householders.
They were all in the possession of
plyers with which to cut clothes
lines and telephone wires. These
boys have a wrong conceptkn of
Hallowe'en, believing the only way
to celebrate the witches' night is
by the wanton destruction of prop
erty. These five boys were arrest
ed last evening and given a feel
ing of the steel cells in the county
jail. This afternoon at. 4 o'clock
they were taken before Judge H. II.
Atkinson, who read the law to them
and then placed them upon pro
bation. They will not be allowed
upon the streets at night, and must
remain at home. Tonight special
officers have been sworn in to guard
the property of citizens, and if any
boy has that itching that lie must
destroy something, he will find him
self in the lockup in the morning.

Last night being Hallowe'en eve,
if there is such an eve (tonight be
ing Hallowe'en, October 31), the
big folks of our city .were out last
evening looking hideous with sheets
wrapped about them and long black
cornucopia caps on their ' heads.
They visited the homes of their
friends, causing shivers to run
down their spinal columns ' by un
earthly noises made by them. They
had sacks containing broken window
glass and would drag this upon
the veranda and then drop a handful
of beans. These two noises re
sembled windows in the house being
smashed. When the occupant of
the house would open the door he
would be asked to shake hands and
a lady's w hite kid glove stuffed w ith
cold wet sawdust would be thrust
inside, only to again cause chills to
circulate the body. It was fine, and
the merry bunch of ladies and gen
tlemen bad a fine evening of sport.
