The large excursion party which visited
Lake Elmo on Monday night, had delightful
time while there, but their pleasure was great
ly marred on their way home by number Of
young men who claim to be gentlemen in the
social circles of st. Paul. but Judging from
their conduct that evening, they lare simply
rowdies. They not only used profane and OBJ
scene language, but broke car windows anG
otherwise deported themselves in manner
which would disgrace the lowest slums of the
city. Their names have been given to the
GLOBE, but it refrains from publishing them
out of regard for their relatives. If a recur
renee of the same conduct reaches it's edtoria
rooms, the full names and particulars will b.
given. 1t don't pay to make rowdies and loaf
ers of yourselves, boys, and you can rest as
sured that the next time you insult respecta
BILE people as you did on Monday night, you
names will be given to the public.
