chaneery Cases.
ARE PROVING TROUBLESOME
Children persis. in Playing Halloween
Tricks Ahead Of Time.

Houzhton children are proving ex-
tremely troublesome this fan accord
ing 10 the Sheldon street merchants
especially in the matter OF playing
Halloween tricks ahead Of the regular
season for these antics. Merchants
come 10 work in the mornings and
find that in the night children had
covered their display windows with
soap and otherwise disfgured their
property. The use Of soap on plate
glass window is small matter as the
soap can be easily washed off, but in
a few cases the children have been
using a tallow candle and this is a
much more serious matter as the can
de grease can never be entirely re-
moved and the window, while not
spoiled. is nevertheless badly marked
up.
Another form that this yearly OUT
break seems TO take this year is plac-
ing distractions on the street car
tracks. Several cases have been re-
ported where all that saved a serious
accident was the fact that the motor
man saw the obstruction in time 70
stop the car and remove it from the
tracks.
The Houghton police officers are un-
der orders to keep a close lookout
for these offenders. both those who
misbehave by marking up the win
dows and those who commit the more
serious offense OF trying TO wreck the
cars and in case any are caught II
NAV go rather hard with them.
