the big parade. Near the corner of

manded of the storekeeper to either
raise a United States flag beside the. En-

This the keeper of the store refused to
do. After considerable angry discussion

companions and took down the English
flag. As soon as the others could get
their hands on the Objectionable flag

he considered discretion the better part
of vafor, and after threatening to have
