Some persons unknown made a raid on the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.
Hamilton last night and took from the front porch a couple of
fine plants that Mrs. Hamilton had brought from California. Just
a joke or for downright meanness the mauraders filled up the
cistern back of the house with a lot of old garbage and evidently
think they played a smart Halloween trick.
