 Plain, iile Rriefs,
 The Rialta Soda ShaRpe, owned and conducted bY 1nhn l'aiiinat0, was the scene of a spiirfnl piece of vandalism hg suspected practical jokes,eFs some time during The nigh, when railroad ties, piles of rubbish. bottles, cases plumbers benches and other implements were piled up at both the front and rear doors,
 The front windows were covered with mud, Not content with placing the ohsiFueii0ns against Inc doors, inc leicester, secured q ladder which was at the side 0f the building and rnised it 10 Inc upper floor and then carried railroad ties up and placed them on the awning at inc top Of inc ladder \ large sign with the words Closed for Alterations on it, WAS strung across the front Of the store and the American Legion sign, used 10 advertise the carnival which was held last week, was strung across the windows. Back Of th, sign the windows were covered with mud SD thick that Il had io ho scraped of this morning. Large stones, weighing about goo pounds each were carried to the front door and placed there between the screen door and inc front entrance 10 the place.
 An ice cream sign which stands in front Of the store was carried into the rear yard and cast down the bank. 4 plumbers bench. owned by Simpson a few doors away was put in front of tho place and all sorts of rubbish was dumped in front or thrown against the windows The railroad ties were stood on end so that the least jar would have sent them crashing through the plate glass windows.
 The officials of Seuuassen Corpo- ration, owners of the building. were indignant this morning over the af- fair and they plan 10 make a strong protest to the authorities so that ef- forts will be made to apprehend who ever was responsible. The work is not thought to be that of boys be- cause of the size of the stones, and it took more than an hour evidently for all the stuff 10 be carried to the store. The railroad ties must have been carried a distance to the scene and the signs and other things must have been secured some distance away,
 Complaints were made to the se- lectmen this morning because of the fact that the copdition there was not reported by the night patrolman and the corporation officials will push the matter to the limit.
