USED BIRD SHOT
ON HALLOWEEN

CELEBRATORS
North Danville Man Feared
Serenade In Which Blank
Cartridges Were Used

What had been gossipcd about
town as a ''terrible" shooting affair
on Halloween at North Danville was
investigated by a reporter FOR the
Caledonian- Record.( There was a
shooting but the seriousness of the
affair was greatly minimizcd.
A crowd of boys with a few men
went to the home of MI and Mis-.
w. J. Hopkins, Just outside of the
village on Friday night and some OF
the party had revolvers in which were
blank cartridges. When near the
house the party began to shout and
fire off the guns.
Mr.. Hopkins, who is As years cd,
and who has been tormented upon
previous occasions by boys OF the
village, came to the door and began
to fire from a shot gun which was
filled with bird shot. Several OF the
bows had narrow escapes from IN
jury. A boy named Cook, who works
for Benjamin Stevens, received
scratch from bird shot on his l1ght
hand.
Morris and William Hubbard re-
-ccived shot in their clothes but it did
not penetrate the cloth to do any in
ury to the boys.
Allen Sanborn, who is guardian Of
Mr.. Hopkins, said he had received no
word that the officials were to take
any action OF that the parents OF the
boys would make any complaint. The
sympathy of the village appcara to ne
with Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins. the
opinion was freely expressed that it
was time the boys were less law
less upon such nights as Fourth of
July and Halloween.

lAWLESSNESS
IS FEATURE OF
HALLOWEEN
Property Owners Busy To-
day Getting Back Missing
Blinds and Door Steps

Halloween is over and property
owners and citizens breaihed Il sigh
of relief today.
While everyone likes to see the
youngsters have good time and en-
joy themselves to their hearts content
the celebration last night bordercd
upon roughness and lawlessncss. 1t
would seem necessary that the police
take hand in maintaining the safe
ty of property from destruction.
Property owners were busy today
recovering blinds, front door steps,
wagons, sleighs and other property
that was carried away for decorative
purposes.
The South church lawn wa< decor
ated with Il miscellaneous collection
Of blinds from neighboring houses
with huge pumpkin topping the pile.
The big doors of the Athenaeum
were tied back and sign board ad-
vertising "Oh, Lady, Lady" occupied
a place between two chairs.
At the Corner Grocery in ling
ton sleigh reposed today upon the
steps of the building. The fountain
of Main street was decorated with
someone's doorsteps.
A prominent doctor found his au
tomobiles covered with some kind of
mixture Of chalk and grease. 1t took
him half the night to clean nj car.
There is little spirit of fun or amuse-
mcnt in smearing fine automobile
with mixture that might have caus-
cd several hundred dollars damage
10 the machine.
All along the business streets rer-
chants and their clerks were out
early washing their windows which
had been daubed with a chalky mix
turc that was partly grease or tallow.
A favorite expression of the amateur
sign painters was "No Sugar"
Webster says: "In many countries
Halloween is traditionally devoted to
mclrymaking, with playful ceremo-
nics and charms to discover future
husbands and wives"
- We rather doubt if this was~'the
spirit Of last nights celebration.
