Col. Mike lyman was the cynosure of
all eyes at the meeting of Division No. /.
The anxiety was caused by the recent
publication of the following by Miss
Miller, the Tattler: zone of the most
strikingly handsome figures in the Labor
Day parade was that of Deputy Mike
lyman. He attracted general attention
and kept,in time to the music like vet
eran as the procession filed along. He
got the tunes so grounded in his head
that when the marchers disbanded Col.
lyman kept right straight OH, as if all the
bands were playing and the people staring
with bulging eyes. The sessions of the
City Court opened and shut for three
days, and still he was missing from his
place of duty. Prisoners were tried and
convicted, cleared and fined. and yet he
was not. Other men who had been in
the parade had returned to their sphere
of labor, but not so Deputy lyman.
Sherman's march to the sea was not in it
with the steady and incessant tramp he
kept up, wheeling around corners, and
some one insinuated that he had been
gotten between the bases somewhere and
the crowd was after him. Finally, after
three weary days had passed, Deputy
lyman made his appearance-he appeared
sad and preoccupied, and marching in
Central station walked up to Adonis
Collins and asked for One beer with a
sausage. His friends looked signifi-
cantly at one another, and Deputy Ma
pier remarked sadly that 1t seemed to be
all day wild Moike. Mike was too
gallant to offer any explanation, as the
author of the interesting story was a
lady, other than that she got the Mikes
mixed, and her boquet was really in
tended for Mike Hickey. Still were 1t a
man he might have landed under the
clock.
