Picked Up By
The Stroller
'The Stroller having nothing else to
fo and not being invited out to a ban
quet to eat free, strolled down by the
(depot that palatial edifice to which
wo all point with pride and especially
knention in our literature boosting La
Grande in4 inhere I saw Jerry Rusk,
' ' t&fng district attorney, and Doputy
Sheriff Wayne Graham and Police
'''Afficer Christehson,. waiting at the
platform. Suspecting that this gnth
' fring of the majesty of the ayt
"-eieant something' the SBroller con
. eluded to atHck on the job and watch
proceedings, thinking possibly that
. Vtfeene might be some excitement de
velop and somebody got beaned, the
' police not 'having done anything real
devilish lately. , . .
U1 Presently a train hove in sight,
st bound, wbl'ch not being on the
schedule was hardly according to law'
awleontrary to the pence and dignity
' of , the city of La Grande, and 1
thought maybe Jerry and Wayne and
' r Christie had come down to pinch it
" or to search somebody's suitcase. But
ou the contrary they scorned just n3
, much surprised as I wn3 and I could
,Kee no war-like signs of drawing pis
tols or unlfanberirtg 41-ccntimoter
' billies into action. The train stopped
arid it was a troop train going west.
A bunch of hungry soldiers descend
ed and they charged on Jefferson
avenue and Depot slroot like Teddy
going up Snn Juan Hill
liers go after pies. After they got
their lunches they came' back and
mounted the train and pretty soon nn
officer got off red eyed..
He came hustling up the plutform
until he saw Jerry and perceived by
some hidden sign that he was an Elk.
And he said things (omitting title of
name and. cause and profanity). He
safd: It was an indescribable out
rage that some son of a sea-cook was
so confoundedly unpatriotic and un
civilized as to run what appeared on
its face to be a respectable eating
place but which was in reality a dead
fall, a den, a dump, a cave where the
Forty Thieves congregate, a robbers'
roost, in which (to make the com
plaint more definite and certain) the
aforesaid master of villiany had then
and there charged and extorted from
the members of Uncle Sam's army the
sum of fifty cents (coin of the realm)
for one emaciated, dyspeptic and at
tenuated pie, and the additional sum
of twenty cents for one packages of
cigarettes which in all crties" of the
world sold for two jitneys, ten cents.
Jerry cleared his throat.
We thought we were going to hear
something good, when the conductor
signaled, and without any more hesi
tation the train started.
The officer climbed on, and as a
ffnal shot, told us that he and his
boys would damn La Grande and give
it a black eye from Greenland's icy
mountains to the trenches of France.
All I have to remark is that I be
lieve the officer is right.
It strikes mo that' the respectable
vendors of food in the vicinity of Jef-
It was interesting to see those sold- 'ferson and Depot should find out who
