PRACTICAL JOKER GETS IN
BAD AS RESULT OF PRANK

Because he playfully pulled out
Fred Zeitschels shirt tail, James
Glow Of Milan now faces a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon with
murderous intent, and will be tried
in p. Il. Wells court next Friday.
Tuesday morning, when Zeitschel
entered his butcher shop, Glow pulled
out the visitors shirt tail. Zeitschel
retaliated by popping the joker on
the probosCis, whereupOn the butcher
is alleged TO have drawn a knife and
slashed the atmosphere in the i'm
mediate vicinity. He is then alleged
TO have secured a gun and started out
on q hunt for the audacious man who
punched him. He then swore out a
warrant against Zeitschel who was
fined So and costs in Justice Wells
court. Zeitschel thought this little
too strong, so came back with the
above charge. Some interesting
testimony should be on tap next
Friday.

is concerned. a week ago yesterday

Miss Elizabeth Allen, champion of the
fair sex OF the club, completed the
course in 80, thereby winning the
honor of holding the low score medal.
Miss Allen simply couldn't lose the
victory of the match for the only other
contestant was Miss Helen Vincent,
who already has won a cup, ana there
fore is not eligible for further com
petition. Miss Allen plays at scratch
and so her score is four down on
