ANNUALPiCNIC
GREAT SUCCESS
(By “Ducky’’)
The picnic given Thursday by J A
Bums for the members of his Busi-
ness Men’s Sunday School class was
a most enjoyable affair and not one
of those lucky enough to go will ever
forget the occasion From the time
the crowd of 25 men two ladies and
one boy loaded on the south bound
train for Sageeyah until the tired
crowd bid Mr and Mrs Bums good
night at the end of the return trip
there was plenty of fun without an
untoward incident to mar the occas-
ion The fun started on the train when
John McCracken frightened the train
butcher to he would hardly go down
the aisle of the car On die way to
Sageeyah the men told hunting and
fiehing stories and prepared for the
ceremony of making the writer a Bap-
tist by tile immersion route
Arrived at Sageeyah the rifles and
shotguns were pot in order and the
crowd walked to the big Borns farm
When the comer -of the Burns place
was reached John McCracken was
placed in charge of a squad ot squir-
rel hunter who wept south to rustle
some squirrels for dinner When the
farm house was reached Major Gen-
eral J Bruce- Cox Captain F B von-
Tacky and Private Holmes were ioad-
ed down with rifles shot guns and re-
volvers and told to get squirrels
" The party deployed to the south in
open formation Which was maintained
until a jack rabbit nearly knocked the
private soldier down' The captain
took a shot at the rabbit and the ma-
jor general beat a masterful retreat
The officers of the ' invading ' army
then held a Consultation and decided
that squirrels were scarce However
a further effort was made but the
squirrels were “not at home’’ At last
the army treed a red headed wood
pecker 1
Major General Cox ccattered his
forces about the tree and gave the
command to fire Captain von Tacky
was quick on the trigger and the roar
of his shotgun started the engage-
ment Amidst the crack of rifles and
the repeated roar of the shotgun the
wood pecker sailed away About this
time the hunters found they were
lost and sought a farm house for in-
structions The trip back to the farm
was made without incident John Mc-
Cracken and- his crowd of hunters
turned up with two squirrels --
In the interim the chief Isaac Wal-
ton in the person of John Willis had
been pulling fish out of the lake while
M R Garnett and others were killing
bull frogs At the noon hour the menu
consisted of a very limited supply of
squirrel frog and fish Jim
Nairn was the chef and the appetising
manner in which he cooked that game
would have won him a wife if all of
tho ladies present had not been mar-
ried Just as dinner was ready to be serv-
ed District Judge Campbell G U
McKinney Dr Hayes Ernest Bay-
less and Tom McClellan of Clare-
more showed up for dinner In ad-
dition the people on the Burns farm
came ‘down and in all there were at
least 60 around the board'
In the afternoon tho men scattered
to the woods and lake to get more
game for supper The luck in the af-
ternoon was much better than in the
morning and when supper time came
there was more than enough of squir-
rels frog legs and fish After a fine
supper the crowd was taken back to
Sageeyah in wagons A men's quar-
tette furnished music until the ar-
rival of the train when tho tired but
happy crowd camd to Nowata and
after expressing their thanks to Mr
and Mrs Burns scattered to their
homes -
The annual picnic of the class was
voted the best ever held and those
who did not drop business for a day
and go to the farm missed a rare
treat
Those who went to the picnic wore :
Mr and Mrs J A Burns Mr- and
Mrs H G Garnett and son Gregg
John Shufeldt John McCracken J E
Patterson O H Hemphill C M
Park A J Blythe WmNairn James
Nairn M R Garnett Harry Barker
Judge Calvert Jno Bruce Cox A C
Hough John Willis J B Hoge Jack
Hammer F B von Tacky James
Mayes R W Holmes M A Sum-
mers Frank Tanner C B Lunstrom
and I N Journeycake
Notes of tho Day
John Willis fished all day without
saying 1 word— except once when
there was no one around and his line
was caught
Gov Patterson fished for hours
without getting a bite and then prop-
ped the fish pole up and went to sleep
The total bag for the day was Vi
squirrels 27 frogs and about 60 fish
which gave every person ait of the
game they could eat
Mascot Greg Garnett became mixed
up with some barbed wire entangle-
ments while charging a drove of pigs
His trousers were so badly damaged
that it was necessary for hit mother
to dress him anew in overalls
Mayor John Shufeldt had the time
of his young life He took on a little
of everything in the way of hunting
and late in the afternoon during tho
absence of John McCracken he went
peacefully to sleep j
Mrs Burns and Mrs Garnett work-
ed hard all day and it was largely due
to their unselfish efforts in the man-
agement of the food supply that the
other members of the party had such
a royal Rood time '
Any time that J A Bums gives
tile wig wag sigq any member pi the
crowd which ' went ' on 'the picnic
Thursday will be ready to go to the
farm A little tiling like “unfinished
business” wilt never stop a one "
