Several electric light globes were broken by the destructive hallowe’eners Saturday night, and the old band stand was dumped into the river, just north of the Washington street bridge. Aside from this and the overturning of a few outhouses, not much damage was done in Rensselaer. Of course, windows were soaped, as usual, and many otlier less harmful pranks indulged in.

We were over to Kentland Sunday afternoon, and judging from the evidences of hallowe’en deviltry that had not at that time been cleaned up, the depredators in that town had full sway Saturday night. In returning from Kentland we took the south road from Goodlanu to Remington, and evidences of this sort of deviltry were seen at every school house along the road. And the township trustees, of course, had the damage to repair at the taxpayers’ expense.
