MEMBERS OF GAMUT CLUB
WILL HOLD HIGH links
Secrecy Wells Festivities Planned
by Organization

From the appearance of a number of
large envelopes which were delivered
among members of the Gamut club
yesterday and the expression on the
faces of said members after reading
the message contained, it is thought
there will be something of startling
nature doing at the Gamut club house
this evening at $3.50 o'clock.
The members will not tell what is
to happen--that is. they will not tell
any more than their looks tell for
them, but in some manner it slipped
out that High links" time had come
at the Gamut club
The signature of Andy w. Francisco
is at the bottom of each of the mys-
terious looking letters sent out, and this
fact alone seems to have struck terror
to the hearts of those who will be his
subjects this evening. 1t is said that
Andy has been studying up little on
the tactics of Nero and other first class
tyrants and is in great form to conduct
the High links
