In city court Judge Walter Pritchard assisted in writing the last chapter of the young men's ritual. Many students of Butler college were on hand. The court was stern as Jones and Porter lined up in front of his bench. “This Initiation isn't over yet, is it?” Pritchard asked. No one was willing to say that ..t was or wasn't. “Well, If you two will go downstairs and take those chickens back where you got them, I’ll suspend sentence.” When Jones and FOrter were seen last they were boarding an Irvington street car each with a chicken tucked under his arm. The chickens came from the home of John C. Gates, 5858 Dewey avenue. OAKLAND iiMiiii *• a Sot ihe Oakland 34-C at the Auto i Show. Immediate Delivery.
