POLICE WERE, "BUSY LITTLE

There was something doing in the
mischief line all over town last
night and the members of the local
police force were just about the bus

has seen for many, many moons.
Big boys and their little sisters

and some of the older generation

and became tangled up with the
strong arm of the law.
Despite the efforts of Chief Doust
and his big force of specials, depre-

of the city, and fences, gates, bug
gies and practically everything that
was not nailed or wired down were
scattered promiscuously over the
town.

gaily decorated rigs Travelled
through the business streets in
numbers.
Quiet home affairs at which the
time honored Halloween sports
were the features were also popular
and several hundred joy seekers at

of the city.
Arrests among those who in
dulged in an excess of liquid ex-
element in honor of the occasion
were extremely few, only three be-
ing reported.
Perhaps the most serious bit OF
celebration of the evening was the
barricading of the car track in Stat
