Something of . sensational nature oc-
CURED when the soldiers were passing in
front Of the Globe saloon. All the way
up the street they were met with derisive
yelis and Kisses. In front of the saloon
there was an unusually large crowd, which
gave vent to its displeasurs by such
. volume OF Kisses that must have made
the ears of the soldiers tingle. The Kisses
increased until the noise became a growl,
when the soldiers suddenly. under an
order from the captains. lowered their

that there is much bad feeling among
the boys in blue from the outside districts
over the reception accorded by large
