Vandalism
Chief of Police Warren Decker
fortunately found a "man trap" on
W.' Fifth St. early Monday morning
before someone was seriously injured. Some unknown person or
persons, who apparently do not
know the difference .between a
practical joke and crime, had removed the heaj. y manhole cover
from an opening in the sidewalk
at the north side of Dunlop's Cafe
and replaced it with a piece of
pasteboard.
Steel awining braces at the Davy
Department Store have been.badly
bent, undoubtedly by youth who
have been using them as a trapeze.
Vandals who enjoy swinging on
awning braces are likely to swing
themselves into the arms of the
law if this depradation is continued.

Fifth St. early Monday morning before someone was seriously injured. Some unknown person or persons, who apparently do not know the difference .between a practical joke and crime, had removed the heaj. y manhole cover from an opening in the sidewalk at the north side of Dunlop's Cafe and replaced it with a piece of pasteboard.
