LEGION HAS MIDNIGHT
KANGAROO COURT
After the silver moon hid it’s face
under the western hills last Monday
night ,a select guard, well armed re

of Com rad Kullander, charged with
a “sealed, complaint” only known to
those called to the mysterious night
session of the Flying Apes. Mingling

the emergency act of a kangaroo
court. The high bench of authority
was erected at the garbage dump
just south of town and all witnesses
officers and press agents with passes
were requested to come unaccom

outer guards stationed within smell

without blinking an eye, and served
notice on our reporter that his opin

fiery tongue spat forth flames of
denounciation that heaped red hot
hair pins upon the conscious of hiii

the much accused disturber of inno

pled for his client with tears roL-
ing down his back. His final speech
will go down in history as his
masterpiece. Jack Carkins, gowned
in rubber shoes and a tin roof,
carrying an inflated baloon, was the
court baliff, and under his com-
mand the final explosion and fire
work display took place. The out-
