Yesterday being all fools' day, it was
properly observed by members of that
organization. It is reported that one of
the boys in the pit at the club alley tied
a string on the king pin, and every time
a lady bowled a ball, no matter whether
it stayed on the alley or not, he would
pull the string, when down went the
pins, and up went a shout of delight at
the good scores being made. But this
could not last forever, one of the ladies
seeing what was going on asked "Pat"
what he meant by such conduct. "Well,
this is April 1st," was the answer she
received. Even our mayor is eaid to
have stood on a corner nearly all day
waiting for a person that never came.
