Police Kept Busy.
The phones in the office of the city Jail
were kept busy last night by people in
various parts of town whose gates, fences
and door steps were being stolen by
youngsters in celebration Of Halloween.
If every man in town had been depu-
tiZed as q policeman last evening the sup
ply of cops" would still have been III
adequate to meet the demand for officers.
Hundreds of children of all sizes. ages
and color paraded the streets dressed in
outlandish costumes. The 'SpOOk' linked
arms with "Uncle Sam and together they
would go in search of loose dOOrStepS
and unfastened gates Many Of the lar
ger boys and girls Ventured into the bust
ness portion of town and Main street ndu
an appearance that would justify the be
lief that a carnival was on in fun blast

the old games and tricks were piaYeI.
Needless to state several entirely new
ones were introduced. No arrests were
made during the evening. Today there
may be seen gateIess fences. horseless
buggles and other "less' things scattered
around town, many innocent faced chill
