he third floor of the club house or
Monday evenings.
Last evening was one of the occa-
sions for iniatiny several candidates
INTO the my sterics OF the order and
for several hours the air vibrated
with pistol shots, sound Of falling
cannon bulls, horns blown and yelIs
like q tribe OF Indians.
A young tender foot named Bruen
stein was bound to stretcher, had
his face artisticaly decorated with
red and black paint, and was carried
down the stairs and placed in Jhe
Phoenix ambulance, which was backed
up in front of the door and taken to
the Delaware Hospital
There he was taken into the Hos
pital and had his wounds washed and
dressed and made prescDtab!c once
more.
