GREAT STUNTS
 AT '. M. |. 4.
Members of Federal Build ing and Water Users Building Forces Meet in Great Contests Before S. R. o. Signs

S. R. .. Signs
 A number of good people who are wont to go home before the hour of midnight, passed the Y on West Mon roe street last night and encountered a bunch of strapping young fellows coming out talking loud, and bearing themselves in every way as the victors of the Roman arena used to do, if the stories of the old historians are correct The actions of these young fellows created consternation for a few min utes, but short stockily built gentle man with a very shiney dome of thought, quickly followed the young fel- lows to the sidewalk and explained to the passers by, that the steps were not | the outlet of private institution for hi- larious, but a perfectly orderly gentle mans club, and that the hilarity was | occasioned by the fact that the en- | ployees and officials of the federal l building had won the checker cham 1 pionship from the U. s. R.S.,without ] any headaches except to the fellows l who failed to win. HIS was HlSHlN SdllSldClOIy lO all ] concerned and congratulations were in order. It then leaked out from under l the coat of modesty of the hilarious gentleman that they had likewise pre- vailed in divers other tests of skill and | strength, the determination of which had taken the greater part of the even | ing. Among these things were the bowling contst, the pool games, the bill Hard games, but they had lost the vol 1 ley ball games. The victors in the vol | ley ball games, the '. S. R. & em- ployees. had captured all of those in struments of torture obtainable and Will place them at sundry convenient and conspicuous places around the water users building, after they have ] been beautifully decorated with blue and pink ribbons, by the fair ones in the train of that excessively damp in- sttution.
 | A pleasant soft speaking gentleman. smoking a cigarette, was the last to leave the building. He carried on one i shoulder hoot owl, and under his arm a black cat, while he aided his progress | with a sawed off billiard cue. It was needless to be introduced to him. It was none other than R. R Briggs. anna | teur champion 1S.2 balk line biliardst of the federal building, carrying home his mascots. He had won his contests by a score of 50 to 6.
 ! However, there remains some of the story to tell. The swimming contests were not held. The members of the federal building staff, when they saw the zanjero detachment of the water users come in to swim, backed clean out, They declared they had no chance with the fellows who are accustomed to have disgruntled water users throw them into raging canals three times daily and live. They preferred to de- fault that part of the business
 It was a great evening for all that There was a great crowd on hand and everybody voted it the best yet. There will be other meetings along the same | line between these fellows again short | ly.
