Julius MeGarry is the champion "hit 'em on the nose" patriot of Griffith and vicinity. Up until the time that someone says something that sounds pro-German to MeGarry the latter is the most peaceful fellow you ever met. But when he gets into action the other patriotic Griffithites retire to a safe vantage and congratulate each other on haviing such a prize package in the community. There was a mixup in Griffith this week and as usual when patriotic issues are at stake. Julius was present. Some of the facts as to this affair are clouded but the story given the greatest credence by the townspeople is as follows: Volunteers Repulsed. Joseph Govert and Chauncey Walters had enlisted, adding more stars to the galaxy in Griffith's service fiar. It was nearly time for the train on which they were to leave and the boys went to the plant of the Associate.! Paper Products Co.. in which the J. C. White Co. is installing machinery and asked to see the boys inside. Their desire to bid good-bye to their friends was checked temporarily when a man named Jr.cobi, foreman for the White Co. denied them entrance. There was a little loud talk and Clarence Be Reamer walked hurriedly towards the group. Now our friend Julius wasn't exactly sure what was going on but he saw two volunteer soldiers in an altercation and he was prejudiced from the start. He j decided to conduct an investigation aftjerwards and act first. When Julius land ed on DeP.eamer it was a rerfect swing. After the fight which wasn't long the employes at the plant, learing that the two volunteers had been denied entrance to say bood-bye, threw down their tools and went in a body to the depot where they gave a royal farewell to their young friends. There wasn't much work done for about three-quarters of an hour at the plant. MeGarry was arrested for assault and battery on DeReamcr who stated that he had no intentions of siding against the soldiers. Julius plead guilty and paid a fine of a dollar and costs, cheerfully. He aid that by pleading not guilty he would drag other employes into court and endanger their jobs. And he admitted he was hasty in hitting Der.eamer. Jacobi said that when h refused to permit the two hoys into the plant he did not know they were volunteers on t the eve of departure. However, the faet that Frank Miller who was with the boys called him a pro-German would in- .' didate there had been something said to him along those lines. 200,000 U. S.
