Gen. John Pershing,"
Stranger De clares

L. H. Gaver, Twenty-fourth and
Dodge streets, strolled into the Ne
braska Clothing company store. He
walked in to the mems furnishing
department. Two SIS silk shirts
caught his fancy. He picked them
up and placed them under his arm.
Then he faced about and made for
the door.
Charge it," he exclaimed when
the clerk demanded that he pay for
the shirts.
ITO whom" retorted the clerk.
ITO General John J. Pershing,"
flung back Gaver.
At this strange reply the clerk
jumped over the counter, grappled
with Gaver and wrested the shirts
away from him.
In short time Gaver appeared at
the Browning-King company store.
Here he ordered approximately $500
worth Of mems furnishings before
police were called. He was ar
rested.
At the station Gaver signed him
self as Mayor Smith, saying he was
engaged in investigating the high
cost of living.
