Goodland Boose Furnished Impetus for Acts of Vandalism.

Brook Reporter. Some Gdodland booze got in its work on a trib of our young fellows Tuesday night and they committed several acts of vandalism that in all probability, will land them in a bunch of trouble. They smashed the barber pole in front of Crisler & Turner’s shop and then smashed a bench in front of the postoffice; involving a loss of about twenty-five dollars, and we hear that they settled the bill, but we also hear that the matter will be taken before the next grand jury for further adjustment. The penalty for malicious destruction is very heavy, and if proven, carries a penitentiary sentence of one to three years.
