One Of the most exciting times II
| the history of Spencer was lnaugur'
| ated Monday when news reached uS
that Kaiser Bill had abdicated his
throne. Old men and women became
children once more and young folk'
became lust kids. Animation ra1
rife. Guns were fired, toy cannon'
shot off, bells were rung, whistle
footed, parades and more parade
were formed, the kids tin can ban'
was marshaled. Kaiser Bill, wh'
failed to make the western line sal
for his seven little princes, was nuns
in effigy. George Roberts in handing
the efigv to the crowd said: "Citizen
of Spencer, here is Kaiser Bill, tn
greatest arch criminal OF all times
to hell with him." and | guess It wa
when George Bouthinon and Finnega
Walters, assisted by the crowd in gen
eral got through with him. Ate
being hanged, dragged around by
white mule belonging to Lee Rum
baugh and driven by Geo. Bouthinol
and buried, Kaiser Bill was dug u
again in the evening and taken TO tn
school grounds where he was burne
!. in a big bonfire amid scenes Of
!, general iollifcation, and accon1panle
Nv the strains of the tin-horn-ca
band. Goodbye, Bill, we're glad yo.
spirit has gone down.
