The Courier news gathered while going home from the University Friday evening pondering how to catch the ever elusive item had his attention attracted by seeing two bands of men in strange and fantastic garb enter a certain dark alley not far from the Professor's Row. The professional instinct was quickly aroused. We drew near and this is what we heard and saw. They halted. A deep hoarse voice whispered: "Who goes there?" Halt and tell why thou art abroad this dismal night when only desperate men go forth?". A hollow voice replied: "We are the commissary department of the boarding club, called Kutz. Hunger, gaunt and ravenous have tried to claim us for his own. We seek to gather food to stay its maddening pangs. First voice—"Hail,brothers come with us. Our purposes are one. I am the sutler of the Rush club and have this night gathered a faithful band of minions to go forth to pill lage and to slay. Ere the reddening blush of morn shall break in the east will gather much plunder and tomorrow will feast in ease. The two embrace. Another steps out from the Kutz brigade—one with hair of auburn hue, and cries: "This morn as I tossed in weary slumber I heard the loud crowing of a proud chanticleer. I know his haunt; I have watched with greedy eye his roosting place and the number of his family. Even now he roosts high in fan cied security on yonder elm tree. All rush together much confused. Whispering follows. We caught a fragnent here and there: "Rooster," "Cap." "ladder," "Rush," "Saw," "Hen," "Mustard," "Troxel," "Kutz," and then the whispering died away in confused murmurings. Sutler (more distinctly)—I will lead this gallant host, and ere one short hour is passed yon high rooster shall flounder in the dust." They move stealthily up the alley, some boldly, most with teeth chattering, presumably from the cold. We wanted to follow but prudence forbade. We crowded into the fence corner and awaited results. Soon there came a startled squall like a rooster struck with a gaff. Another and then another piercing sqall rang on the still night air. A dead silence followed. Soon we heard the trump of returning bands. In the lead was the sutler of the Rush club dragging a rooster and three small hens. Then came a rush of hurrying feet. A whispering of white lips "the foe, the foe, they come." Like a herd of Texas cattle when startled by the demoniac yells of a drunken cowboy, they fled. Roosters were forgotten, hens thrown aside. The Kutz brigade, some with roosters, some with hens, followed. Fear overcame us. Our very soul was filled with horror. We shrieked aloud. Down the long vistar of Kentucky street they hurried. One tall form holding aloft a half grown rooster as a signal to the others leading the van. The sutler of the Rush Club, forgetting his dignity, his dreams of feasting vanished, found a safe retreat by climbing to the top of the water tower. We looked again, and all was still. Pondering over the immutability of of human rffairs we picked up five or six large roosters and went our way.
