That Manitowoc is town of 'joiners'

by the large gathering that turned out

der the direction of G. f. Gavin OF Fond
du Lac, state organizer, and were per
formed by team of eight from She
boygan. Members of the order from
Oshkosh and Fond du Lac We're also
present in large numbers.
The work of initiation was only per
formed on II select few. The process,
we are informed WIS amusing in the
extreme that is for the spectators.
Judge Chloupek was put through 8.
One member was asked whether he had
been made to ride the goat re re-
piled that it might have been a goat
but he WAS under the impression that 1t
was much more like II razor back hog.
After this part of the program had
been done 30 turn. the entire crowd
repaired to .>taudt's saloon where those
who could sit down and those who
couldn' partook OF IL banquet. 1t was
