Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-05

just picked up the name and couldn't
outgrow it. He is called Pink because
that is his nickname.
Also there was Happy Corey in the
patrol of the visitors. Then there was
Charles Krauss. Krauss was accom-
panied by his family. He is brewer
of indianapolis and the visitors state
that it was some of the Krauss brand
of zem zem that came overland with
them. Incidentally, they blame Krauss
for having put too much Zem zem on
board the train, but they don't blame
very hard. 1t is said that Krauss won
the leather medal for his eating ca
pacity on the way out. At any rate
he looked prosperous when he got here.
Then there was Fred w. Brown.
Brown isn't giant in stature, but he
has more hair than Pink Hall. Also
he is related to a newspaper man by
marriage, and that helps some. When
Brown got off the train at the Santa
Fe depot Saturday night he drew three
long breaths before learning that the
banks closed at noon. Then he was
told to fall in line and march to the
hotel. which he did, and now he is Won
dering why he did it when there was
street car that would have taken him
there and saved him the trouble.
Goodloe Is Joyous One
If you didn't recognize the big lieu
tenant of the visiting patrols, he was
r. M. Goodloe. Goodloe did his share
Of consumption of Zem zem on tie way
out because he is a thoroughbred hot
sand artist. Also Coodloe has been
around a bit and he knows how to
Jolly you along. When he arrived in
Los Angeles last night his first words
were. my, but this is hot old town,
rs,i 1Nn of
doing here all right" And even at that
he had only been through the railroad
wards and hadn't had time to see Main,
Spring or Broadway.
P. c. Read, another of the visitors,
is said to be one of the handSomest
men in the shrine and is also con-
firmed bachelor. On his way out here
he spent his time shooting gophers and
reading the Koran, not neglecting to
keen the path to the baggage car
warm. That was one of his duties
laid out by the shrine and he couldn't
help but obey.
Uniforms Are Beautiful
When the train pulled in last night
there were two members of the patrol
standing on the engine, each bearing
a big shrine flag. They hadn't been
there all the way from indianapolis
to Los Angeles as some supposed. The
secret of their being there was that
out at little station three blocks
north of the Santa Fe depot the train
| stopped and let them get out there,
but they looked pretty fine in their
uniforms. Incidentally the uniforms
of the visiting patrol are magnificent
and worth going far to see.
At the station the visitors were met
by the Bedouin patrol in their fine
gray uniforms One feature of the To-
cal Bedouin brigade was that all the
men were mustacheless. "Sandists"
Pfaffinger and Pamar cut their mus
taches off for the occasion.
The visiting patrol was captained
by Gustave Haller. Haller is one of
the handsomest men in the shrine and
is a bachelor. oh, what a fine chance
there will be for some western girl
to get a good husband and what nice
souvenir she would be to take back
home with some of those bachelors.
Pipe the Merry Drummer
A. L. Gutheil is from Shelbyville
Ind, not from choice, but because he
was born there.
Then there was Old Bill Mitchell
Old Bill is the big man with the lace
curtains about his head who wears
eyeglasses and marches with the mu-
sicians in the Murat's patrol. When
Old Bill wasn't firing the train on the
way out he was firing himself and
| playing pinochle Now that he is in
Los Angeles he don't care whether he
gets home or not, as Los Angeles
! would certainly like to have him stay
The big man in the patrol who beat
the big drum. II you didn't know who
he was here's a tip. His name is
Henry Biser and besides playing the
drum he is a musician. Years ago
when he was quite a boy he had q
severe attack of scarlet fever and
when he recovered it was found that
the disease had left him a musician.
He has been one ever since.
But hush, there was something hap
pening on the special on the way out.
1t happened particularly in Arizona,
and the Murats speak of the perform
ance with joy in their souls. A
