Democrat on that board and It had
a well designed purpose In it's refusJl.

Many innocent Franks Played on Hal.
IoMeen Niaht.

At twelve o'clock last night the
alarm OF fire aroused many citizens
from their peaceful slumbers and
brought the fire department on the
run TO the corner of Third Avenue and
Caddo streets where they were met
only by crowd Of laughing boys and
girls instead of blazing building as
they had expected. The alarm was
only another method of enjoying Hal.
bween, devised by the fun loving
youngsters of the city. Many were the
pranks played last night and long will
the band of youngsters who paraded
the streets until the wee small hours
OF the morning be remembered by
those staid old citizens whose gates
we're removed from their hinges and
a neighbors gate substituted, whose
fence pickets we're torn off, and the
old family carriage rolled blocks from
its shed. These and many others were
the pastime OF a jolly crowd who were
out to enjoy the night known as Hal.

times were that Of the innocent and
fun loving and not Of the violent and
malicious so often met with in times
when a certain liberty is accorded the
young ones.
Besides pranks Of this kind mum
Der Of entertainments had been pre-.
pared for a celebration of Halloween
night. At the High School building
the students and their friends gather

them were masked and much fun
was occasloned by their antics. Par
ties OF young folk had gathered at
private residences and in all parts
of the city Halloween was celebrat-
ed probably more joyfully than for
years past.
