WHERE IS Mr.. WH|TE2
Green Bay Band Boys Are
Wondering.
There is Considerable Money Due the
Members and the Uniforms Have Not
Been Paid for-White's History.

The members Of the old Fort
Howard Cornet band, more recently
known as Whites band, will be glad to
receive any information regarding the
present whereabouts of their late
suave leader, Grant White of We town
of Brandon. Wis. And thereby hangs
tale.
In July, 1894, Mr.. White came TO
this city for the first time and, after
short time, took up his permanent
residence here in September of the
same year. He was most accom-
plished cornet player and an excellent
leader, SO he was given charge of the
Fort Howard Cornet band. His name
was soon substituted, however, and it
was thereafter known as Whites band.
There was a membership of fifteen
men and during the winter of '94-5 re-
good accom- plished. Mr.. White was
given full charge of the music, engage
lnents, finances, etc, ETC., and every
thing looked very auspicious for the
future of the organization.
In July, 1895, during the Knights of
Pythias convention the membership Of
the band was increased to 24 men.
Business was good and money kept
pouring into Treasurer White.
So it went until the fall of the year
when subscription paper was passed
among the business men to raise money
to induce Mr.. White to stay another
six months. Oyer $3.50, it is said, was
raised in this way, Mr.. White making
the collections himself or sending boys
who turned the money over to him.
Then the versatile cornetist took
charge Of Ducharme's orchestra-took
"A To- Al
season of 1856 they did about all the
reception and dance business of the
city. The orchestra varied from eight
to. fifteen men and received for SER
vices an amount equal TO about So per
night per man.
So things went on smoothly and pros
perously until there came IN September
demands for band room rent and for
payment on an old note which the
musicians understood had been paid by
Mr.. White from the profits of the or
ganization. Then there was some
vigorous kicking on the part of the
men. White soothed their feelings by
appointing committee of two to pay
the rent, but gave them no money to
settle with. 1t is said be claimed that
he was unable to collect for the bands
services at the various political meet
lngs held last fall :. but finally he confessed
to spending on himself portion of the
bands money. He promised to pay up
on January l and, failing then, he set
the day of settlement for the Goth.
Then came the band concert in Tur-
ner hall in February which netted
about $50. No account seems to be ex-
tant Of what became of these funds.
Brother White has been gone some
weeks on a visit to he-forgot-to-say-
where and letters and tracers have
failed to locate him. The musicians are
very anxious for a settlement. Softly
the April zephyrs watt the inquiry as to
his home coming but it avails nothing.
