NOT MURDER BUT
A FRAT" INITIATION

sent Sergeant Quinland and PATROL
man O'Donnell to Investigate. This is
what they learned:
Herbert Bangs was being initiated
into Phi Kappa Sigma in the house
at 1924 Wabash avenue. Bangs is a
student at Armour institute, and the
house is occupied by number Of
students of the same school. Bangs
was put thru many stunts and then
came the final trial. He was bound
and gagged and damned into big
clothes basket and carried out into the
night.
In front Of 3412 Wabash avenue
manhole was found. The cover was
removed, and, tying a rope to the
basket, the students lowered Bangs
! into the opening. When he came to
rest he was in foot of mud and
water, but he didn't yell. He was in
the sewer nearly an hour and was
hauled out just before the arrival of
the policemen, chaperoned by Lau and
King.
