Recites in Measured Rhyme Horrors
Of Initiation, Which Turns Out
to Be Nothing but a
Nightmare

George H. Thomas, an Elk, also a
bard, famous in Elkdom from Hanover
to Hegeswich, broke into song yester-
day. Mr. Thomas will tear you off a
verse while you wait anytime, about
how green grows the grass or the new
tariff on suspenders, but under the
stimulus of a grand lodge reunion he is
the original antlered Pindar, ordering
his dinner in rhyme and spouting yards
of effervescent verse about brotherly
love, warm hand-clasps and things like
that He lived in Louisville, KY,
where he Joined the Elks, but later re-
moved to Redlands, where the sunsets,
poinsettias and artistic real estate signs
have brought his genius to its full fru-
ition. Yesterday, while watching the
parade, he carelessly scratched off the
following on the back of an envelope:
The pleasures of life are greatly enhanced
When good fellowship helps them along
With a shake Of the hand, a good hearty laugh
And jolly good rolicking song;
All this and more 1 fully enjoyed

For me, as l found to my cost.
Before they were through with me Isfelt blue;
I certainly thought l was lost
They made me dsrobe, and on me then put

Lancers in Gay Array

The Taft lancers, thrty-five in num-
Der, and clad in steel gray corduroy

head was adorned by an East Indian

and all had swords and lances, from
the latter of which pennants floated.

We're performed by this military body

INFLICTS INJURY
Harry Jervais of Glendale Wounded
While En- Route to City by
Ball From
Rifle

Harry Jervais of 1888 Sycamore ave-
nue. Glendale, employed as teamster
for the Western Art Tile works at Glen
dale was shot and seriously wounded
in a most peculiar manner last night
while on a Glendale car en- route to
this city.
Jervais boarded a Glendale car with
his wife at Sixth and Brand avenue
to come to Los Angeles to see the
parade, and in a deep cut at Fargo and
Baxter streets. Edendale. he was struck
by a misspent % caliber bullet. The
bullet hit him just below his hat in
the back of his head and inflicted a
serious though not necessarily fatal
wound.
An investigation of the surrounding
country failed to disclose who did the
shooting, and as the car line at that
point is several feet below the level
kof the ground, 1t is considered strange
that the ball entered the car Jervais
was riding in the middle of the train
and the ball came in the open window
by his side.
The car was stopped and several of
the train crew and passengers took q
hasty look around but no trace of the
offender could be found.
At Edendale, JerVais was taken off
the car and hurried into the nearest
drugstore where he received temporary
treatment. a call was lHen sent III 10
the police headquarters here and the
police ambulance was hurried to the
scene. Another close investigation was
made by the police without avail. Jer-
Yais was brought to the receiving hos
pital.
1t is supposed the shot was fired by
some boys in the neighborhood, as peo-
pie living in the vicinity say that they
have heard shots sounding like small
caliber rife for two or three days
