Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Cheesman and
son Elmer, who have just returned
from five weeks trip through the
West, made the trip with the Knights
Templars of the Masonic order, and
the train of fifteen cars carrying 500
people. There were stops at all the
points of interest along the way, and
the receptions which were given the
crowd upon their arrival in Los An
geles were delightful. Every posi-
BILE convenience and comfort was
looked up for the Templars, their
families and their friends, making as
a whole the most delightful trip pos
sible. Forty-ffye thousand people
were in line for the Conclaye parade
in Los Angeles, 10 #e
Joe Bishop sIashed his left arm
with a razor Saturday, cutting a great
deep cash two inches or more m
length, that required the attention of
physician to sew it up, and it is
giving him considerable trouble since
Joe had finished shaving with an old
style blade and in drying the steel he
attempted to wipe it upon the sleeve
of his shirt. In some manner the
end caught in fold of the sleeve and
the edge was turned down against the
arm and when drawn across the cloth
penetrated the arm to q depth OF, fully
a half inch. The wound bled pro-
fusely and for time Joe thought he
had severed a big artery. He was
covered with blood when the doctor
began dressing the wound.
What Cheer Patriot: The editor OF
the Patriot had the most pleasant Wis
it last Friday afternoon he has had
since he came to What Cheer. 1t
was with Tom Bray, an attorney To-
Gated at Oskaloosa but who was one
of the principle managers of the Cum
Minis campaigns in the days when pol.
tics was sizzling hot and he lived at
Grinnell. The Des Moines Capital
called him Affidavit Bray. We have
been in some half dozen state con-
Ventions when Tom would manage
the funny work and he was the man
who persuaded Gov. Cummins to make
the third campaign for the governor
ship. He carried Black Hawk coun-
ty when all thought it was lost. He
was associated with Tom Way in the
first campaign Cummins made for
governor and he says the Senator is
as square a man as he ever knew. 1t
seemed like living those red hot polit-
cal fights over again. Mr.. Bray says
he, is now trying to make living and
Is out of politics a good deal. But
We'll bet he can put up a good fight
iet, We were glad to have him call
md hope to meet him again.
