GERMAN BANDMEN ARRESTED
Musicians Victims of Joke that De-
prives Them of Their Real
Clothes.

After the Initiation at the Ak-sar-l3en
den Monday evening the German band,
imported for the occasion, was hauled TO
the police station and charged with dis
turbing the peace by making loud and
unusual noises against the peace and dig
nifty OF the city OF Omaha. OF course the
whole AFFAIR was a Joke, but where the
real Joke came in was when the members
of the band wandered back to the den for
their regular clothes. BY the time the
band returned Gus Renee had gone home
and left in charge a Waterman, who had
not been advised of the fake arrests.

east entrance at 12:5s a. m. and Herman

Is, or was, the auto was not inherently a

A glorious ve-taIxing was the one of

a large assemblage of loyal knights paid
their last visit to the Fountain of Youth
and its youth-giving waters. The very
rafters of the old building reverberated
with the enthusiasm of those who have
made up the legion of honor for the COM

hence. Every eye beamed with a luster
peculiar to the inner circles of Ak-Sar- Ben.

last evening. As is usual on the last in

sent TO Chief Justice Gabtkrt, who was
elected to the supreme bench six years
ago as a populst. Gabbert is said to have
declared he would not withdraw II the
