The following from The Fond du Lac
Journal of last week will be read with
pleasure by Father Trant's many
friends in this section: about forty
of the gentlemen of St. Joseph's church
formed into line Tuesday evening and
marched to Rev. Father Trant's resi-
dence. They captured the house with
out ceremony and took the good priest
captive. Then, to make amends for
such assault and capture they presen-
ted him an elegant gold headed cane
and promised his release on the sole
condition of his acceptance. He did
accept, and thanked the invaders for
coming 50 strong and so well prepared.
The cane bears the inscription: Pre-
sented to Rev. S. Trant, by st. Joseph's
church, Feb 9th, 1886 ="
