Willie Bryant, awaiting trial on a technical charge, was the last jwMtoncr, and some days ago he felt an attack of loneliness. He went on a rampage and tore up the plumbing to his cell. As the original case against him was not ready for trial, Willie was summoned into the Recorder's court last week and asked whait he tore the plumbing up for. Willie was both nonchalant and reticent. He answered the question briefly with, "Just cause." Accordingly Judge J. W. Ruark sent Willie to the roads for six months for just cause. Worthy Grand Matron Visitor Mrs. Alice B.
