Smoking The Pipe

Smoking the Pipe.

The Main Circus had a good attendance despite the weather Saturday. The manager showed considerable shrewdness in the evening. Word had come down that a large crowd of Ann Arbor students was coming down to wreck the show. The marshal swore in a lot of deputies, but their services were not needed. After the Ann Arbor crowd had entered the tent. the manager sent the Rough Riders into the ring and told them to lasso the first man that started to make a disturbance and to yank him out into the ring. And the Ann Arborites were little tin angels all the evening. - Ypsilantian. Well now if that wouldn't wrinkle your face. Osband must have been listening to some of B. of P. W. Perkins'anti-Pingree tales. By actual count there were only about 30 students who went to Ypsi that night and most of them were visiting near the Normal. Surely the two good citizens, Mr. L. J. Lisemer and Mr. Fred Huntoon, the only two Ann Arborites who attended the performance, would not place themselves in position for a lasso. Maybe Ben Kief started that story, told it to Grand pa Dodge and Osband got it that way.
