CAPTURED GERMAN SIEGE GUN

Is Again Mounted in City Park at Sheboygan, Wis. Sheboygan, Wis., Nov. 24. —Led bya band and a contingent of former service men, citizens last night hauled a captured German siege gun from a storehouse where it was consigned by the majority vote of the nine Socialist aidermen of the common council and mounted it in the municipal park. The Socialist aidermen were forced to watch the procession pass the city hall, where they were in session, while the minority aidermen, who had voted against banishment of the relic, sent up cheer after cheer. The former service men carried a coffin labeled “the nine votes,” and mounted on the gun was an effigy of Councilman Henze, which, following the placing of the gun, was burned. Councilman Henze, it was said, led the council in its action.
