CHAS. JOYNT BADLY SCARED
Was Afraid Early Morning Prowlers Were on His Trail

Chas. Joynt had an experience Monday morning about four o'clock that he will
never forget. He had just reached home from Ellington township and, as
Sunday was April Fool's day, his friends placed several tin cans and old
dishes on a shelf above the door of his bedroom so that when he would enter
they would tumble down on to his head. The scare was worse than anticipated.
A burglar alarm was sounded and every one in the house aroused. it took some
time to quiet Mr. Joynt's nerves, but he was able to report to duty at the
Milwaukee depot on Monday. He is coming home early next Sunday night.
