not wanted. but il is intended to be
a special invitation to the people of

ready to stand for that, even if some
of their brothers are in the under
taking business. Yesterday afternoon
AXel Kohler, city attorney of Mo-
line, was taken TO the police station

dozen or more of the local Elks and

| and given over to the ElkS and the
band, who escorted him back to the
German village. where he was tried
for throwing peanut shells at the
girls. Mr.. Kohler defended himself and
well sustained his reputation as n
| lawyer. The jury returned the
verdict of not guilty and the prisoner
proceeded to do the town" free
