1--we ar not sure whether Comrade
Delevan Smith has gone daft or not.
He has at least proved himself de-
void OF fear, as he went alone and
un protected with six members Of the
w. r. q. one Cay last week to the
home of Comrade A. c. Wilcox,
where all partook Of sumptuous re-
past and came home yelling like a
