ON THE WARPATH.
The G~reenvi1le Red Men Are After tn,

"
The GreenyilIe Red Men Are After the
ScaIps of the "Schwabs."
The braves of the Saghkin Tribe, I'm &.
proved Order of Red Men, of Greenville,
have donned their war 5onnets and war
paint. and with %sharpened scalping
knives will swoop down upon the camp
OF the Hudson County Schwabisher
Verein.
The Red Men held a council of war on
Friday evening at Belvidere| Hall and
then and there decided to engage in
bloody conflict with the Schwabs.
The u was caused by the Schwabs
refusing to allow the Red Men to have
more than one wagon in the parade which
was held on Monday last.
Three weeks ago the Secretary of Sagh-
kin Tribe received a communication from
the Schwabisher Verein, inviting the Red
Men to participate in the parade. The in
viiation was accepted, and the tribe Sc
cured nine wagon N spent considera-
BILE money in decorating them.
Inc led Men have an organization
known as the HaYmakers' Assoc alton.
The rules OF the Improved Order of Red
Men forbid members from holding any
picnic, socia6le or dance, and to over
come this difficulty the tribes throughout
the United Stated lave organized the
Haymakers' Association.
COULD HAVE PLENTY OF WAGONS.
When the Greenville Haymakers were
invited to participate In tine parade, one
of the members visited the President of
the ~Schwabisher Verein in order to see
how many wagons they would be allowed
to have. The President said that the
Haymakers could have as many as they
chose.
On the Friday before the parade the
wagons Were all decorated and every
thing was in readiness for the parade. In
the evening of that day. however, the
Red Men received word from the
Schwabs that they could have but one
wagon in the parade. This angered the
Haymakers. A special meeting was at
once called, and by a unanimous vote the
members decided to stay away from the
parade altogether.
Nothing more was thought of the mat
ter until the day of the parade. Mr..
Joseph Abel. the president of the Verein,
when visited by the Haymakers said that
the Verein had decided not TO allow any
organization or business man to nave
mere than one wagon in the parade. o,
Labor Day, however, a down town bust
ness man named Doersch had fou
wagons in line. The Red Men saw thi,
and at once determined to get square.
At the meeting on Friday evening the
members were notified that If they were
seen at any picnic or sociable given under
the auspices of the ~Schwabisher Verein
Gney would De lined ~, and II caught the
second time would be expelled from the
association.
WILL BOYCOTT THEM.
Mr.. A. kachlee. one of the most prom
inent members of the Haymakers Associ-
alton, wnen interviewed by a JERSEY CITY
NEWS reporter said:-"We will boycott
the Schwabs hereafter. 1t will be war
TO the Knife, and whenever we get a
chance co get even we will do
so. The Verein could have
notified us earlier. Our wagons were
all decorated and we would have made a
fine appearance. We spent considerable
money and have every re tson to be an
cry. When asked why we could not
nave more than one wagon in line, Pres
ident Abel said it was because the many
men, which we would have to
lave on the wagons, would
secure free admission to the picnic park
This was adding insult to injury, and
looked as though we could not afford to
pay the twenty-five cents admission fee.
We will have an inning some day, how
ever. and When we strike back we will
strike hard"
The Saghkin Tribe has over one hun
dred members, and among its
members many of GreenvIlle's most prom
iuent business men.
