BY Rain.

ening weather to dampen the ardor
OF the Rotarians Of South Bend. ven
though IL did rain considerable during
the early hours wednesday morning
and poured just about time for the
tart. more than 80 members and
their friends made the trip by auto
mobile 10 KOOntz lake.
They were we'll repaid for their dar-
ing. for no sooner had they gotten
fairly under way than the rain ceased,
the roads were in good condition and
fast time was made on the way down.
The first stop was made at North Lib
erty. where the little "ChOiman" band
much in evidence on the trip treated
the natives TO a concert.
At Walkerton a halt was again
called by Field Marshal p. 7. Bonds,
and the entire crowd got out and
threw the indoor balls around, while
Mangold was getting his machine
ready for a shot at them. Walkerton
was left in due time and a fast run
was made the last five or six miles
10 the lake.

enough for two more teams. so a dou-
BILE bill was staged.
Right in the midst OF the games
"Shurif' Kuhns and his leading dep
ity." F.. A. Miller, had to start a riot
by pinching Sam Parker and Sam Ad-
Ter. They. were duly ridden in the
blue wagon driven by the aforesaid
Miller. who had narrow escapes on
several occasions when trees refused
TO move from the front of his con-
veyance.
Considerable feeling against the law
was aroused by this demonstration,
and a crowd collected around the
lock-r.y. Their vengeance was not sat
isfed until two officers had been
placed in the position of their cap
tives. 1t was rumored that the rest
of the force. composed of about eight
members were intimidated by several
violent members Of the mob with
threats Of hanging and hid their
badges, leaving their chief and his as
sistant TO the ridicule Of the popu-
lace.

when a negro was captured and
placed in the ~calaboOse with instrUc-
lions to play and sing until cold to
Quit. When the appetite for blood
had been satiated in some measure
me nat was passed by Messrs. Gull
fOyle and Kuhns Many testified
that this was the last seen of these
two gentlemen during the day, and
that a certain person had to go with
out the collection. This was later de-
MED by the men who said they had
merely borrowed the money.
Just before the dinner bell rang.
Fred Dennis unearthed two or three
pillows and refereed the pillow fights.
Everyone was crying for more action
on the part of the contestants, when
the bell rang and the contest was for

And II sure was some feed. There
was plenty Of chicken and fish, pOta-
toes. salad. "spaghet." beans, coffee
and last OF all pie. There was plenty
of provisions. and everyone pro-
nOunced them some provisions"
