Miss Beardsley thinks that she
marked the mans face when she
struck him with her hard leather
canteen case.
Miss Beardsley is recently from
Eysian, where she was an operator
for the telephone company.

Old Rooster and
Family We're Soused
They Went After Mash At Albert
Lea Like Old Topper Does
To His To-day ~

Albert Lea, September ALI
Bridge street and East Clark street
residents are sitting in sack cloth
and ashes today. Wednesday was
a most humiliating period for these
law abiding people along this main
artery of traffic - the Jefferson
Highway to the .north-and the
main thoroughfare to the Freeborn
county fair grounds.
At eleven O'Clock in the morning,
just when the street was te most
crowded. Chief Carey, Officer Ted
Liefson and County Attorney ]. o.
Peterson, in military style, march
ed down East Clark street and
quickly surrounded the home of
Thomas Guzman. Straightway they
proceeded to raid the place. Guz-
man and Leo Coy were at homo
busily engaged in distilling a large
quantity of moonshine. The ofi-
GERS, after collaring the two men.
took with them the still and all the
moonshine. marched I'D the street
o the city Jail. Before they left the
place they took the two barrels OF
mash, sizzling by the side OF the
stove, and dumped it in the city
garbage place, nearby.
This last act Of the officers is just
where they added more disgrace 10
the already inundated Bridge aud
East Clark street citizens.
AS soon as officers had departed
Mrs. Jorgen Jenson's old rooster,
ambulating about the yard with his
speckled harem scented the mash.
He lost no time in informing ais
family and all hot footed out Of the
yard and down to the dump. Toe
rooster reached the place first and
after picking up a long, juicy piece
of peach skin ne "cut, cut, cut, cutt-
ed" to his favorite lady and as she
came running up, laid it before her
wondering eyes. :,
That settled it! All the hens and
the old rooster went to the mash like
an old topper does to his toddy. They
ate long and ravenously.
Those who Witnessed the scene
say that the rooster-tne real lead
er in the disgraceful affair, dropped
his tail first.
He stopped eating and suddenly
stood straight with his head up,
white films came over his eyes as he
called to the hens to look at the
hdWk. surely ne saw a udWh. ne
told the hens about it-and from
every indication all saw the hawk
In fact they must have seen dozen
hawks, for all started pell NELL for
the Jensen lawn.
They were surely drllnk-and see
ing things-big things! The rooster
became hilarious and started to pick
worms out Of the lawn. He got hold
of one of the hens toes and pulled
and pulled. There was no question
about it-he knew it was big
worm! -. Ed.
After about ten minutes of falling
about cackling and scratching the
whole bunch squatted down mere and
there about the Jensen place and
soon nodded off to sleep. They were
dead to the world and one could tell
by the jerking Of their wings, bod
les and feet, taat they were having
the same good old" time as many
other foolish guzzlers of booze-in
human form.
THURSDAY morning Mrs Jensen
stated that she could see no i'll ef-
fects of the jag the chickens had
experienced, II don't know Just
when they sobered off," says Mrs.
Jensen, "but they are up and around
TODAY"
