The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1897-06-04
THE FEET OF 100 TYROS
PRESSED THE BURNING SANDS IN
OWOSSo TUESDAY NIGHT.
The Survivors were Treated to the Grand
and Bounteous Feast of
Rhamadam.

One hundred and fifty members of Islam
Temple No. 81, Dramatic. Order Knights of
Khorassan, arrived In Owosso by special
train from Saginaw at 1880 Tuesday even
ing for the purpose of holding a special ses-
sion, at which time band of 100 Tyros
who inhabit the fair oasis of Owosso, in the
plain Of Shlawassee, were made to tread the
burning sands which lead to the cool and
refreshing spring of Zem Fem.
A grand street parade headed by the City
band and consisting of band of $50 Arabs
in full costume surrounding the 100 Tyros
who were tied to long rope, marched
through the principal streets at $50, exhib-
iting their wild beasts and their various in
struments of torture.
After the street parade the Tyros were
conducted to the Light Infantry Armory.
where cries of pain and shIieks for help
were distinctly heard during the hours of
torture which continued far into the night
If reports are true the Owosso Tyros proved
to be equal to the emergency, every one of
the band of 100 surviving the torture and
reaching the fair oasis of Khorassan in fair
condition, a fact which entitled them to
seat at the bounteous feast of Rhamadam.
The aforesaid feast was spread at Castle
Hall under the direction of Tyro Chef Chas.
McNally, assisted by a corps of walters con-
sisting of "a of Owosso's handsomest young
men who appeared in spotlessly white uni
forms. McNally has spread many banquets
in his time but never in the history of his
many successes has he prepared spread
that would equal the affair of Tuesday even
ing. Castle Hall never looked so inviting
as when it was thrown open to receive
Owosso's guests. Covers were laid for $50
and the tables were so arranged that it was
an easy task for the walters to attend the
wants Of the banqueters. The walls were
handsomely draped with bunting and flags
and the tables were decorated with potted
plants and sprigs of green, while the many
colored electric lights that shone down from
the ceiling, gave an enhancing effect to the
whole scene.
The following Menu was thoroughly en-
joyed by the distinguished Arabs, especially

terrible tortures:

And many wink he wunk.
