 There was a hot tima in the old town last Saturday night. Tempe has a grand Halloween social. The boards in the sidewalk in front of the legal row were removed at aggravating in- tervals. The Tempe street railway car was loaded with beer kegs, run down Mill avenue off the track and tied to hitching post in front of the reading room. It is there yet because the harness cannot be found. The Tempe Ice company's wagon was rolled on the walk in front of J. H Roots show window and filled full of green branches. A Mexican found his wood wagon in the ditch. Some large cottonwood logs were rolled across the street in the neighborhcod of the normal. People were compelled to take wagon and go around town and gather up gates wherever they could be found and then take them back and try the gates until they found one that would fit the hinges and the gape in the fence. R. G. Andre found the street. sprinkler on the sidewalk in front of his harness shop. Marshal Compton was seen cut ting wide swaths to popular favor by working faithfully in replacing the street and ditch crossings which were torn up all over town. Everybody wondered at it all. No one knew any thing about it.
