Halloween second part

My husband, Ray, had a different kind of Halloween than I did when he was a kid. He lived in the south part of Topeka. That was near the Topeka Country Club so it was sort of in the country and some people had outhouses. The older boys who were strong liked to push them over on Halloween. I know his mother told me she used to follow him on Halloween, sort of hiding behind trees. He said he knew she was there. At that time Topeka had trolley cars and they went to the edge of town. The big boys one year were able to get the trolley wires off the wires when the operator was turning the trolley around. The operator had called the police and they were waiting for them. Ray was watching and they caught Ray. He had not done it but they took him off to the Topeka police station. His mother saw what they did and she had to figure how to get there to rescue her son. I expect she took the next trolley to the police station. It was at Fifth and Jackson those days. and she was coming from 19th and Buchanan. In Topeka the streets are named after the presidents. Except for one--Pierce. Topeka did not like Pierce as he gave Kansas trouble so they named his street Clay. They stopped at Lincoln and went to other street names. I lived about 8 streets west and lived on Jewell. It was handy in history class when you needed to know the President's names. Ray lived on Madison in his college years when I was dating him.
