HALLOWEEN IN MANCHESTER.

The Il usual number of Halloween
pranks were perpetrated in this city
on Saturday night. Old board fences
and door steps were scattered pro-
miscuously. about different premises
in Manchester. AS usual some Of the
youngsters appeared to take ". long.
chances on getting into the clutches
OF the law. Someone who evident
" did not consider the seriousness
OF the prank beforehand placed
pile Of broken cement blocks in the
center of West Main street near
the bridge, for vehicles to strike
The boys were careful to select a
dark spot near the bridge and the
first automobile which came along
scattered the pile in every direc-
tion, an1 incidentally shook up the
occupants of the car. Such perfor-
mances can hardly be classed with
innumerable harmless pranks which
the youngsters pull off each year,
and common decency should prompt
young fellows to not take such long
chances in the matter of endanger-
ing human life, and landing In the
clutches Of the .law.

STOckYARDS UNDER QUARAN.
TINE


Delaware county stock raisers and
shippers have been interested in the
announcement that the Chicago
stock yards have been placed under
quarantine because OF a mouth and
hoof disease which appears to be
prevalent in some of the eastern
states. : La
The management Of the stock yards
has issued the following statement,
which explains the purpose and in
tent Of the quarantine:
Feeder cattle and sheep shipments
from Chicago were today placed un-
der quarantine by the federal gov
ernment inspectors of the bureau of
animal industry. =. a.,
Cattle or sheep for immediate
slaughter may be shipped into or.
out of the market. ~
The quarantine will be in force at
Chicago, according to DR.. 8. F. Ben
nett, government Inspector. for a
period Of ten days, that all feeding
cattle and sheep now in the yards
may undergo observation. .....#
This move on the part of the fed
eral government was taken purely as
a precautionary measure, and feder-
al Officials assert that not single
case of the disease has yet been
found among animals arriving here,
nor among those which have left
these yards for feeding purposes.
In view of the quarantine effective
Saturday, live stock interests here
admonish shippers Of cattle and
sheep to refrain from shipping those
cattle and sheep which are classified
at market as "stocker' or feed
err types.

fully decorated with autumn leaves,
black cats, old witches, etc., and
lighted by grinning Jack % Lanterns.

Attorney and Mrs. F, H. Arm

Attorney and Mrs. F. H. Arnold
returned Monday morning from a
two weeks honeymoon trip to Chi
cago and other points of interest in
the east.
Lloyd Grommon is carrying his
lower jaw in bandages this week,
nursing fracture, and Willie Rowe
is nursing scalp wound, which were
caused from blows inflicted Saturday
night by one of Manchester's young
men who had imbibed an excessive
amount of liquor, and was ready to
fight upon the slightest provocation.
The young man III question was TAX
en- before Justice G.. S. Lister,
where he pleaded guilty to the
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, and was fined $500 and
costs. Two others were brought be-
fore the Justice on the same charges
and were given like fines.

INDEPENDENCE LOSES.

The Manchester High School foot
ball team defeated the Independence
team in game here last Saturday
afternoon, the score being 27 to O..
The local team proved too fast for
the visitors, notwithstanding that
the visitors were the heaviest in
weight. This was the first game that
the local team has won this year
The four. games played by the Man
chester aggregation were with teams
from schools where the teams had
decided advantage over the local
players by being heavier and at the
game longer. The Manchester team
bids fair: to win the remainder of the
games scheduled for the present sea-
son.
