( Halloween presented the usual op-
portunity and brought the usual
harvest of pranks by the boys, and
by some who have left boyhood be-
hind. Most of the jokes were of a
harmless nature and merely furnish
ed amusement for outsiders and
brought forth wild profanity from
the victims. In one or two cases,
however, damage was done to prop
erty and people were harressed be-
yOnd reason. Mr.. and Mrs. H. Mayo
think that they have a just grievance
and are disposed to invoke the aid of
the law in Furnishing their torment
ors. Mr.. Mayo's store on So. Main
street was beset by large and noisy
crowds at various times during the
evening and finally, coming out to
demonstrate, he was drenched by the
discharge OF water from a skillfully

of opinion regarding the propriety of
letting out score or so of pigs, own

Muzz9y and Frank Rock, who was
left to guard the pigs. Eddie appears
to have come out Of the engagement
in rather a sire zzled" condition and
the piglets were not called upon to
leave their happy home. An interest

whether the monies so obtained
