COUNCIL REJECT
[Welland Tribune, 30 August 1907]
A big husky fellow, weighing from 225 to 250 lbs, wandered into the council meeting on Monday night, evidently mistaking that august body for a sunrise court. He took a seat and waited patiently for some time, then informed the mayor that he would like to be “tried next”. Later when a rather animated debate was in progress, he pitched in also, and refused to be quiet. Thereupon Ald. Garner took to eject him, but finding it a difficult job, two other aldermen sprang to his assistance. After a lively tussle the culprit was safely landed in the lockup, from which place he entertained the council with various vocal selections during the remainder of the evening. The man was released in the morning, there being no charge laid against him.
