Lake. AS no evidence could be
charged against the two culprits,
they were turned loose this morn
ing with orders to leave town.
The boys around town think
they have a good joke on the rail
road commissioners, Max Bass, ct
al,and never tire Of talking it, al
though those intimately associated
with the transaction aver it was
not put up job. 1t seems that the
distinguished party was taken to
the grounds on the Chautauqua
flyer" then turned over to the
dignitaries there for entertain
ment. After amusing themselves
in various ways, Capt. Herman
invited them to a boatride on the
Minnie H., lying up at the boat
landing nearest the city. Someone
telephoned up town for teams to
be in readiness at the landing for
their transference to the city, and
with a sigh of relief at the easy
manner accommodations had been
arranged for, Mayor Brown and
other Chautauqua officials con-
Quoted them on board the steamer.
After a ride around the bay.
the party disembarked in high
spirits at the boat landing, but no
carriages were in sight. After
several minutes of waiting the par
ty concluded that they had been
passed up, whereupon the mayor
gave the command to "hoof it" to
the city. We will not mention all
that was said during the tiresome
Journey, but finally the procession
entered the city. The Mayor says
the road was in rather a rough
condition, but a few more days of
sunshine will make it an admira-
BILE highway for pedestrians.
