A COUPLE of young men of this city
had a bit of experience on Saturday
night, amusing because the humorous
side was the only one presented and
there was just danger enough in it to
give it flavor. A dance was being given
in the Second ward. The young men
heard the strains of music and they
We're stirred by them. They could not
participate and they concluded to play
joke on the select ones who seemed to
have superabundance of pleasure.
They proceeded to barricade the door.
While hauling material the door was
opened and the improvised barricaGe
fell in. This brought the crowd out and
the two investors of the place stood with
open mouths and their arms loaded with
barricading material. A rush was made
for them by the besieged. They dropped
their loads and ran fortunately taking
opposite directions. Tam OShanters
race with the ghosts was nothing to the
excitement of this chase, nor was his
danger as serious The oaths which
reached their ears added wings to their
speed. Dreaming dogs were aroused
and Joined in the chase, but pursuer and
pursued were 80 close the dogs could
not distinguish between them and hence
dragged no one down. Each young man
as he strained every nerve to escape
would once in while give thought to
his companion and wonder whether he
was having as exciting a chase as him
self They escaped but had not got over
breathing quickly the following morn
ing. They'd rather tackle wasps nest
now than dancing party.
