VANDALISM RA IPANr.


Another outbreak of vandalism
and crime took place in Sandyston |
on Friday night May 18th. During
that night two persons went into a
12 year old apple orchard belonging
to Geo. E. Hursh, and with sharp
edged stone attempted to cut off the
bark, and girdle the trees. Finding
this too difficult and noisy a meth
cd, they then used their pocket
knife, and thoroughly girdled 43
trees; taking rings of bark from the
trunks, some of which were six in
ches in width. Some of these rings
of bark were hung in the trees, and
others strewn upon the ground. The
same night evidently the same two
persons strewed nearly two quarts
of corn, poisoned with paris green,
directly in front of the poultry hous
es where about 300 fowls range dai
ly. The corn was found and gath
cred up in time to prevent the hens
getting enough to cause serious dam
age. Numerous tracks were maze
and show that the shoes of one per
son had pointed toes and were .:bout
1917 inches in length. The other
wore a broad toed shoe scant ten in
ches in length. Other measure
ments were taken that are not Civ
en- for obvious reasons. They cor
respond with the shoes worn by par
ties who do not live far away and
the similarity has been noted by sew
raj persons. If they had washed
their hands before starting home,
the finger marks on the fences that
they climbed would not have left
the paris gri,en trail that it did, al.
thoughtheirtracks across the swamp
and through the grove were very
plain. 1t is evident when they start
ed home they took the last drink in
q piece of woods on the way, and
smashed the bottle in the path. Pro-
fessional criminals seldom leave so
plain trail, and If these should
stoop ever so little when they walk
and slobber when they talk, or with
a curb on, ramrod mp their back
and eyes bent upon crack, take an
other drink in that grove. they
ought to carry the bottle home with
them as a memento of the crimes
they had been engaged in. Can Il
be pleasant for them TO carry
around with them look of guilt
, that everyone can see, and a con-
science that when sober must quake
and tremble at each rustic of leaf?
Familiarity with crime leaves its
imprint on the face, as contact with
criminals leaves it upon the charact
or, and few can conceal it, or are
2 not eventually caught. One per-
sons who sympathizes with the
perpetrators remarked a fewdays be
fore "thHt the thing will not stol
here, but there will be more of it, -
so evidently there is at least one 9th
er who helps plan such deeds, even
if he takes no active part therein.
1t is a pleasure to believe that witt
, the exception of three or four per
sons, the whole population heartily
condemns such lawless acts. H.
