colonels in vain in its story OF visit
OF Oklahoma's brigadier to Bug

Ready for Welcome
All BugScufile turned out today
to give a salubrouS welcome to the
most distinguished visitor this pre-
cinct has entertained since the pa
rade was staged in honor OF the
abdication OF Bill Creegmore. The
distinguished guest OF the occasion
proved to be none other than Cen
eral Harry Pentacost, battle scar
red warrior from Oklahoma, whose
gallantry in the sun parlors and
whose unquestioned chivalry in
the buffet has won many distinc-
tions and admirers for him. 1t
was not known until late yester-
day that General Pentacost was
bound for Bugscufflc, but the news
spread hurriedly and a special
meeting of the city council was
held for the purpose OF declaring
him 4 citizen on sight. The town
set aside for his use during his
stay in Bugscuiie, 4 handsome
villa, which was the former home
OF G.. NJ. Putnam.
Armed With Corkscrew
General Pentacost was booked
to arrive on the good ship Rock
and Rye, at ten and before day
light anxious crowds awaited with |
parched tongues and cracking
throats until the time when the
ship would dock. The ship ar
rived on time, and it was neces-
sary to throw a Gordon OF police
under command OF Bill Tighlman
around the landing place. AS the
ship passed through quarantine,
the uumistakable figure OF the
was to be seen on the
bridge. He was dressed in full
equipment. and the glittering stars
on each shoulder gave the waiting
crowds ample assurance that it
was the General himself. As the
ship drew closer, it was to be
observed that he wore his side
arms and the rafting sabre at his
,ide was pronounced to be the
,ame one with which he pulled Oft
he tin tops during the Crazy Snake
'ebellion.
There was some apprehension as
o the reception the General would
,e accorded in Bugscuffle in view or
he fact that he was a survivor and
veteran OF the memorable cam
,aign, which caused the addiction ,
Il the present head OF the Bugscui- ,
lie government and his flight to the
oreign precincts. A delegation OF !
acifists went to interview President =
,hitty Harjo the night before and :
c told them that he would let the /
asst bury its dead, and join in wei /
oming the famous warrior to his =
oman. 81 have never resented the ,
OF the General in the r
against me near the Ilick- d
ry stump said President Harjo.
That was years ago. and he was
vidently misiniormed as to what
ollatcral | had. Besides we need i
racious men like the General in =
ur domain. lie is good mixer. 7
President Harjo was himself at =
le dock to assist in giving wei =
ome to the most distinguished vis- = :,
or to reach Bugscuffle since Judge Il
rank Dale held a Peace meeting
ere in 1917. President IIarjo was
,companied by his staff who were Il
full uniform. The staff was un- !,
er the immediate command OF Gen h
al Brandt Kirk who had promised
lem lunch after review.
Over the Top of Rail
As the sides OF the ship touched
le dock the harbor guns fired
llo of highbals and pandemon-
I'M broke loose. Recognizing the
asst tribute and the spontaneous
elcome that was being extended
i'm the General drew his blade and
lluted the statute OF Limitations
hich Governor Haskell had pre-
,nted TO the domain of Bugs
Iffle as a decoration for the har-
Or. Turning his blade in the
might so that the crowds could
.tch the CLEAN the General stood
