Justice proves costly for Halloween mischief in Worth County
After two years Snerril Gulickson tracked down youths who toppled and damaged a courthouse outhouse in Northwood on Halloween 1917. They pled guilty and paid a total of 65 dollars in fines. The Northwood community is reminded authorities now enforce property-destruction laws more strictly, deterring future pranks. Mrs Elsie Farr and Helen visited Des Moines Friday for a day or two.
