“COMRAD” FOX HELD UP.

The Niagara Falls excursionists returned home Friday night and report a fine trip. A. J. Brenner was among those who went over to Toronto, Canada, by boat, and he thinks Toronto is a very ‘fine city. He says he never saw a better looking, better dressed or more healthy appearing lot of men and women —especially the women—than he saw there. The party had considerable sport with “Comrad” Fox at the Falls, and the Comrad made the air sulphurous with his remarks concerning the various hold-ups that are practiced there on all visitors. At one interesting place they visited all failed to observe the sign over the entrance, and did not pay anything on entering. Comrad said this was the best thing they had seen yet and it didn’t cost a d cent, either. When they started to go out and the good-looking girl in attendance said, “Fifty cents each, please,” Comrad threw his bands in the air and denounced the whole place as a den of robbers.
