Lake Crystal Union: Passenger
Conductor Maybauer laughingly TOLD
us that two ladies from some point
west of this city were in town the
other day and spying the cannon
in the park pointed toward the cross
streets, remarked one to the other:
That's one of those moving picture
machines. l have seen them operat
ing before They get everything that
goes in front of them and then they
make the pictures and they are
sold to the different picture
shows. They won't get us. We viii
hold our hands over our faces.
This is a slam on our gun and we
don't like it. But of course these
| ladies are eXcusable for they are
strangers here.
