' Wednesday morning finds
the usual Hallowe’en plunder
(icuttered around by supposed
“spooks”, but in reality by
intermediate boys. Ah usual
some of the victims are
“sore” while others are tak-
ing it in their good-natured
way. Tin’s in a good bid
American custom' when the
-boys- w-otde +Hmb»r for—one
night than Ihey^lo-Xi^r a weHe
at any other time., The^dnly
objection to* it is when they
begin to de-troy property or
to deface and ruin it. This
should, be stopped by law
officials.
The Hallowe’en Carnival
at the Muldoon r.chbol house
on Monday, night netted for
the sponsors . over $20.00
.There was a large crowd and
some visitors from Flatonia
and other places.
