Band Plays.

When Joseph Bonner, Of Chester. re-
turned to his home with his bride last
evening after their wedding trip. he
was treated to one OF the most unique
hazings ever attempted in the staid old
up-river city.
Mr.. Bonner had the unfortunate luck
to have been a member of the Doyle
Athletic Cho and his friends had
made arrangements to receive him IN
manner which they thought suitable
Immediately upon his arrival az his
home Mr.. Bonner was called to the
door and several OF his so-called friends
grabbed him. He struggled with them
but they had come prepared and clasp
cd handcuffs on his wrists. The rest
was easy. They carried him TO the
street and forced him into one OF the
cages used by Hargreaves' Circus FOR
the Incarceration of Wild animals and
then locked the door.
Then about thirty Of the members OF
the club manned the ropes and while
two others guided the vehicle through
all the principal portion of the streets
they dragged the unfortunate BRIDE
groom from one end Of the town TO
the other.
Bonner took the thing as coolly as
possible and in spite Of the discordant
strains of the band perched on top OF
the wagon kept his temper and waited
until his tormentors allowed him to
go home and once more meet his wife.
