Dudes Compelled to Dance.

CANTON, GA, February Ga story
has Just come to light here which affords
much amusement to natives at the ex'
pense of three Boston dudes, whose: con-
nection with the opening of a Georgia
marble quarry has brought them here.
Their names are John Shellman, Edward
Ammen and Henry Rondeau. They
have had much amusement with noun
tain boosters and delighted in showing
off their superior accomplishments.
While on their way to Tntes Wednesday
they met two Misunderstanding country
boys who, barefooted and with but one
suspender over their shoulders, were
trudging to town. The Bostonians step
ped before them and ordered them to
dance to a Massachusetts, juba.
When the mountaineers became salts
fed that the Bostonians were in earnest
they pulled out two ugly looking revol
vers and changed the programme by
ordering the dudes to dance. Thinking
to humor the joke and thus escape easily
they danced awhile, but the boys would
not let them halt. For five hours under
cover of revolvers the Bostonians danced
such ig as has never before been seen.
When the time was up one of the noun
taineers exclaimed: "Now, dang it,
run |" The Bostopians were only too
glad to do so and reached town foot sore
and weary. They are now seeking legal
redress.
