son aud son John attended the mask
supper and dance at the Grange Hall
Tuesday evening,
while the streets were overrun by hob

by sospng their neishbors' windows and
piliug porches with every movable thing
they could find, some malicious spirits
we're bent on destruction, Gates were
torn from their hinges and carried away
and have never been recovered by the
owners. Several engines belonging to
the Salmon Creek Lumber Co. were run
up and down the track until the water
supply was exhausted and then left to
their fate. No. was so badly burned
that the crown sheet dropped and the
engine was so badly damaged 1t is esti-
mated 1t will take two hundred dollars TO
repair it. No. was perfectly dry but
had not been standing so long and by
using great care 1t stood the test of refill
ing and firing. Twenty minutes more
would hsye fixed it so 1t would have
shared the fate Of the former. Rumor
says several ladies ~ were among the
crowd who amused themselves at the
company's expense. 1t might be well
for our little town to pattern after the
larger places and furnish some organ
lied amusement for the people when this
eventful night appears again.
