Christian Amenities

Last Saturday Sheriff Brenner, Deputy Peterson and ex-Sheriff Dwyer went out to the farm near Ypsilanti where a conglomérate aggregation of dirt, ignorance, Coxeyism and women were encamped, under command of a celebrated Polish Count named Blowemskihi, or some similar name. There was a lesser leader who, by his appearance was thought to be Count Kantkeeptheflizoff, but he was in such a masterly state of inactivity that his identity was uncertain. Count Blowhiznozoff met the officers with a grand salaam and threw himself into an expectant attitude, as though awaiting the ancient eastern custom of being kissed on both cheeks. The officers, however, forebore the osculatory ceremony and suggested to Count Krackiminthei that he and his dirty gang of vags and ragmuffins move on. The imperial Pole signified by signs and tokens that the army would move as soon as the ceremony of "blood brotherhood" was ended and the farmer whose premises they were inoculating with vermin had duly provisioned them. The farmer went to town and came back with a quantity of bread and the army marched, headed for Detroit - destination, Washington. There were 101 men and two musty females.
