Nov. 4th,
1921
A story appeared in the Charlottetown Guardian reporting
many pranks had occurred in Summerside on Halloween in 1921.
According to the paper, culverts were uprooted, gates were
removed, and the placed in the most unlikely places, fences were knocked down,
verandah seats were placed in the center of sidewalks, and truck carts were run
up onto private lawns.
The most ludicrous prank of all that Halloween night in
Summerside involved a pig and a car. The car of a well known Summerside man had
the misfortune of having pranksters place a dead dressed pig in the car and
attached it to the steering wheel by ropes with the pig’s forelegs which also
held an empty beer bottle.
