Big Chief OF Admiral" with his aide
de-camp. known TO many as 'MayOc,"
who with the a.d of a barber. sports a
black mouStachc. called at the home OF
the third Of the combination last even
ing, and said home is on Taunton ave
nue. near Brow street. The two trained
warriors, who after getting the light.
weight" to the door of his home. told
him that he was wanted as witness IN Z.
with full confidence In the big Chief
or Admiral" and the Mayor was only
too happy to respond to any call that
they would request, and few moments
later the trio were on their way" The
start was made from the home of the
lightweight through Brow street 10
Warren avenue. and then they headed
east At Ingram's Corners the Light
weight" called a halt, for he, the Light
weight" thinking that possibly he might
| have made a mistake in booming the
| game of somebody during the recent cam
| paign. rather came TO the conclusion that
| the two older warriors" had formed
| themselves into sort of ku-klux
gang. and were going 10 end his days in
| the vicinity OF Kents Corners The two
| warriors" smoothed the feathers of the
| "I.ightweisht." but he not being armed,
| was just a little ''leery," for he nor no
one else had ever seen the two old war
| rors" walk that distance before. or at
| least since their school days. The
'T.ightweight, trudged along. but kept
an eye on each of the warriors" and
when Armington's Corners was reached,
called n halt and gave the two war,
| riors' TO understand that II they had
purdar- -thelr-heart, tn start some
| thing there and then. This little speech
| OF the Lightweight was followed by a
Lightweight" that they had made mp
| their minds 10 walk him, the Light
weight" to Warren, and all that the
| Lightweight said was. I'm your
| meat" but when the trio reached the
rooms OF the Heart club at Riverside. SIX
pairs of oxen could not drag the Big
Chier' or the Mayor any farther. but
the Lightweight" was game. and could
the Mayor" and Lightweight were
cared for by the Captain" but tho
"Big Chief" who lives I'm Watchemoket
square. according 20 the Lightweight,
was mighty sore that he did not miss the
| last car bound for Providence.
