THOUGHT IT PART
OF INITIATION
WATER PIPES BURST IN MIDDLE
OF SOLEMN CEREMONIES OF
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
INSTITUTION AT DICKINSON
SUNDAY.

A rather startling incident took place
at the Institution Of the new council
Of the Knights OF Columbus at Dick
inson last Sunday afternoon that was
not part of the ritualistic ceremon-
les and furnished a great deal OF
amusement. as well as excitement for
the old members, the degree team OF
Fargo council, and good deal OF
apprehension on the part of the can
didates.
The institution, initiation and in
stallation all took place in the opera
house. which is large and commodious
and was arranged to suit the work
just after Grand Knight Dunn of
Fargo had ordered the candidates to
be presented at the first of the cere-
monies. and immediately after the
long line Of men filed from one of the
dressing rooms of the house down
on to the floor, one or two of the big
water pipes that are used as a fire
protection burst with something that
sounded like a locomotive exploding
and In an instant the stage floor
and the entire house was flooded.
Chris Anheier, ed. Fitzgerald and
other old time sir knights were lead
ing the candidates into the hail. They
had never heard of anything Of this
kind as a part of the ceremonies and
they couldn't understand, and Grand
Knight Dunn was also nonplussed
and frowned, but the candidates evil
IDENTITY thought ii was part Of the ini-
tiation and they remained as still as
possible while the Ice cold water be-
gan to creep about their shoe tops.
1t was an exciting moment and the ini-
tiation had to, be postponed, most Of
the members standing on chairs as
recess was called.
In an hour or so the bursted pipes
were prepared, order was restored and
the candidates went through i'm good
shape Hon. William G. Ray, one of
the owners of the house recently elect
ed member of the legislature, was
one of the candidates, and said he
didn't know what to make of the oc-
currence, that he had run the opera
house for years and this was the first
time a pipe had ever burst He still
believes that it was part of the ini-
tiation that was intended for his bene-
fit
The Fargo sir knights who attended
arrived home last night and today and
and that the new council will be q
good one and a most influential one,
state that they were royalty treated,

AS AN EXPERT IN A BIG cE.
MENT CASE THAT is TO BE
TRIED IN MINNEAPOLIS THIS

the work sof this system in its early

 In his capasity as Railroad Commits sioner Leon has a chanse to make him. self solid with the peepul by exercising sum of the sterling qualities of Reel Ability which he modestly admits he has. If he will forget Leon, and his grate achievements for a while and do sum missionary work for those who air so near and dear to him, he will becum in reality the Loud Noise" he thinks him. self to be.
 The fact that so many peepul cross there fingers every time you mention Leon Is all the moe reesun for his mak- ing good If he reely does make good and shows himself the servant of his peepul, and we hope he will, it will be a grate disappointment to lots of folks who don't beleeve he will and will make Leon just that mush moor the stuff. Frankly Leon you have been the puppet of fate and on a tidal wave you have been toss- ed into a responsible place, grab your chanse and make yourself the man of the hour, like old Whats-his-name at the bridge, and we'll be for you. Mems passions won the late fite, not there judgment; but, be this as 1t may the result is the same so far as Leon .s concerned, may he so discharge his du- ties that he will deserve higher honors at the hands of the peepul.
