Old Guard Pulls Biggest
Wedding Celebration in
History of Kenosha Hon
oring Business Man.
TORCH Light PARADE held

The cold Guard" got even with
Joe Pitts Monday night. 1t will be
recalled that a little while ago the well
known Main street business man and
former president Of the Kenosha Retail
er's Association pulled fancy stunt
on his friends by being married at
dawn wedding and then slipped out
Of the city before any one Of them could
even say Congratulations 1t will
also be remembered that in years past
the bridegroom had been very active in
showing attention to other bridegrooms
when they decided to desert the ranks
of the bachelors and join the ranks
of the benedicts. For this reason it
was decided by the cold Guard" that
the time for Joe to settle had come.
Pitts settled and he settled to the big
gest celebration of a marriage ever
known to Kenosha..
Laying their plans with as much Sc
crecy as members of a KuKlux clan the
members of the cold Gurad" gathered
just after eight O'Clock last night
They gathered with tin horns and
torches and with a liberal supply of
automobiles and gasoline. Then they
went over to the north side and located
Mrs. Pitts at the home Of friend and
told her that her husband had been
" kidnapped" and needed her. She fell
for it. Then they notified Pitts that
his wife had been kidnapped and he
fell harder. He was buckling on big
revolver and getting ready to do real
business when Henry Feldschau Of the
police force came in and with "wait a
minute, Joe, I have warrant for you, :"
he led him out and turned him over
to the band Of tormentors. Pitts was
placed in one of the automobiles with
his wife and the parade started. 1t
was a combination of political rally
and a circus parade. Every one was
shouting and blowing tin horns and the
glare of the torches reminded one of the
old days when a distinguished Kenosha
man had the rather empty honor of
being nominated for Governor on the
Democratic ticket. There were signs
galore on the automobiles. A big red
one on the car in which the luckless
bride and groom rode bore the message
"Better Late Than Never Another
read, At-a-Boy, Joe." and still another
Just Married -OMyg" The Old Guarl
had regular line of march and fbav
paraded over it several times before
they made their way to Honeymoon
Place., over on the north side where
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitts are living. They
all decided to spend the evening-and
it can be added much of the morning
With Mr.. and Mrs. Pitts By this time
the bride and groom were thoroughly a
part of the celebration and they showed
the cold Guard Z some real hospitality.
The entire house was thrown open. Mu-
sicians were provided and eats and then
there was a dance It WASH It one of
the newfangled kind, but an o1d-fash-
toned hoe down.
The gathering broke up about the
dusk of the morning when the mem
bers of the cold Guard decided that
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitts must be fully con-
WINGED that they had not been over
looked.
It was the one real old fashioned
charivari that Kenosha has known in
years.

question will be discussed and settled

people of the various States. With the
prohibitions the object is to destroy
a business which is claimed to b.
harmful to public morals The States

opposition to prohibition is based By
