OF the people in the procession we've
provided With little American flags,
and it was an enthusiastic, crowd
which marched through the streets.
Lit is estimated that there were over
1000 people in line. The street "a
lined with people, many of whom
cheered those in the procession.
An exciting incident occurred as
the procession was coming back
down Main street and us it reached
in front of the post office. A driver
OF a brewery wagon was driving his
team through the streets and it is
said attempted to send his horses
through the line where there we're
d great many little children, thus
imperiling lnei1 lives. a half dozen
men sprang to the heads Of the
horses and prevented the driver
from going any further. 1t was an
exciting scene for the few moments
that it lasted and the driver was
excoriated for his seeming efforts
made to break up the line. The
driver made several attempts to go
through the crowd but the men
stood their ground, and finally he
was permitted to go when the parade
had passed. 1t was an unfortunate
circumstance that the driver Of the
brewery wagon could not have seen
just what trouble he was inviting
by attempting anything of the kind,
either with malicious intent or
tboughtlessness.

BURNED In A HAYsTAck
a Tramp Sleeping in a Haystack at
Milwaukee stockyards Was
Very Badly Burned.

a IRE alarm was turned in about
2 O'Clock Tuesday morning for a fire at
uhe Milwaukee stock yards in the
eastern part of the city. Policeman
Newman was the first person at the
scene or the fire and he beheld y
sight Which caused him to stop and
look IN astonlsinment at the appari-
ton which came toward him from
Tue burning %haystack. 1t was a man
enVeloped in flames which were
burning about his head and
shoulders. The policeman caught
the man and laying him on the
ground proceeded to extinguish the
flames and tear the burning clothes
from his body. The fire department
arrived in a short time and put out
the burning stack.
Two or three tramps were SLEEPING
in the haystack during the night.
but when the policeman arrived
there was only one man visible.
From the surrounding circumstances
the superstition is strong that one
of the men set fire to the stack and
went away, leaving his sleeping
companion to his fate.
The tramp was removed to St.
Joseph's hospital and a call was sent
to DIR. e. e. King to dress the
wounds. The tramp was severely
burned about the face. the hands
and his arms with a Slight burn in
the middle of his back. He appeared
to be a fine looking man, well
developed physically and wore clothes
that were fairly good. He is about
IS years old. There was nothing on
his person to indicate who he was,
and he had but 10 cents in money.
The other tramp vino was sleeping
in the haystack was arrested during
the night and is held at the county
Jail.
