| The Halloween depredations this
year were very exasperating in number
! of instances about town. There is class
of youngsters in this city that needs
some wholesome instruction regarding
the rights OF propriety and the statute
laws will probably have to be admins
tered before they are made to discern
between license to do harmless FRANKS
and the wanton destruction of property.

sidewalk that costs dollars to repair, is
not funny.

ic infesting the whole drove of game
wardens roaming over the state. The
unlimited license bestowed upon their
