Some time ago we noticed a wheel
barrow on the She'd attached to the
workshop Of James Tefton. Inquiries
were made by Mr.. Terton, but no one
knew who done the deed. Tuesday
evening while the band were rehears
ing. we heard q racket in the stairway
leading to the baud room in the second
story of the RECORD Building. Think
ing it was some of the wheelbarrow
firm, we approached the door leading
to the stairway and looked out. Sure
enough, there WAS a wheelbarrow ON
the steps, making it impossible for any
one to get down. But we saw the lead
er of the gang disappear in the dark
ness. Now if that same boy is not
careful he will get q chance to winter
at Salem, wearing u ''linen duster'' in
stead of an oyercoat. The communi
ty are getting tired of his, and his
gangs miraculous rackets. BE care
full, we know the whole gang.
