Times: Halloween operators seem to have been particularly active last evening. All along the streets Tuesday morning broken hitching posts, overturned horse blocks, signs in unwanted positions and shattered fences and gates testified to the presence of the annual mischief maker. Several laughable incidents and one or two of a more serious nature were witnessed by chance passersby. In one instance a deputy attempted to arrest the ringleaders in a gang of marauders and was promptly set upon and quite severely beaten. Those who chanced to be on Congress st. about 10 o'clock saw the richest sight of the season. Suddenly a large crowd of men and boys appeared around Huron st. running for dear life and closely pursued by an exceedingly wrathy and determined looking citizen arrayed in the long, white garment which custom makes sacred to the sleeping apartment. Holding the aforesaid garment well above his knees for greater convenience in running, panting from his unaccustomed exertions the enraged householder kept steady upon the trail, although beads of perspiration were forced from his forehead and heartfelt exclamations from his lips by the frequent injuries resulting to his bare feet from cobble stones. After a run of some five blocks the thoroughly enraged citizen gave up the chase and sorrowfully returned to his home.

Why isn't a wife the better half when she's always getting the best of the other half?
