Mike dropped in several saloons to explain
his object. Considerable supplies in the
way of liquid refreshment were taken aboard
en- route. Unfortunately, Mike found the
going a little hard, even with the dog to
brace him. At 4Oth street he collIded with
a cop.
Instead Of apologizing, Mullen told the
bluecoat he ought TO drop his club, get
a gun and join him in the trip to Mexico.
Mike became Indignant as he talked and
finally TO prevent an obstruction OF the
highway the policeman took him before
Magistrate Harris, at the 32d street and
Woodland avenue station. The Judge ad.
mired Mixes initiative, but was inclined to
believe that he was not physically prepared
for his mission. Mullen insisted that he
could lick Carranza without being in con.
dition. He was convinced. however, that
a little rest would do him good.
In order that he could think out his
plans without interference, the Judge sent
Mike to jail for five days
