News Briefs - A Wild Night: A few years ago the young boys and girls, in order to celebrate Halloween, went out on the streets in the early evening to play innocent jokes upon each other, to throw beans at the windows of, or ringing doorbells of their little acquaintances that remained indoors. This was about the extent of their offending. But for the last three to five years the matter has grown much worse and instead of being confined to the little folks, is now indulged in at late hours by young men who do not stop with innocent fun, but who assume a license not granted them in the statute books, to do about as much to annoy innocent and defenseless people and to damage property as they please. At one house, occupied by a highly respectable and nervous young woman who happens just now to be living alone, they carried gates from all over the neighborhood and piled them on her front stoop, with a tremendous noise. Two ladies occupying another house were treated like-wise with the firing of a small cannon added. At Miss Emily Blackman's they tore up her boardwalk. At Kenyon's they broke his doorbell. At a late hour they fired the big cannon on the public grounds. This was annoying to all citizens, but must have proved particularly so to Sheriff Miller's family whose little girl lay dangerously ill. Later they jammed the cannon into one of the entrances to the new school building and piled some of the Water Co.’s huge pipes on top of it. These are only samples of what was going on all over town.
