Street “Mashers” Egged by Ladies.

Omaha Bee. A couple of mashers met with their just deserts on Saturday evening. Two highly respectable yonng ladies were walking down Capitol avenue shortly after twilight, unattended. They had net proceeded very far when they noticed a couple of young men following them. Both of the young fellows were gotten up in a regardless fashion, with immaculate shirt-fronts an<f lavender pantalo ms. Both, no doubt, considered themselves the observed of all observers. Soon after the young ladies discovered the real state of the case, they quietly dropped into . a grocery store and each purchased a couple of eggs. The walk was resumed the mashers following and ogling until the Masonic hail was reached. At that point the two fellows stepped up to the ladies, and, with many profound bows, asked them if they wanted-to take a promenade. Both ladies at once straightened up, and without a word each selected her man. Four eggs immediately, flew with well-airec.ed aim. Each of the mashers got a mouthful* besides which, the lavender, trousers, the pride of Jh«ir hearts, were bespattered beyoud all hopes bf repair. The affair happened to be witnessed by only a few people, but the dignified young men retreated in vast disorder to repair the Wreck to their* stunning attire. .
