The Ludington Record
VOL. XV. OLD SERIES, NO. 42
Thursday, June 22, 1882


        MICHIGAN NEWS
        
        Quite a sensation was created at a circus at
      Marquette.  In the act where a circus rider, dis-
      guised as a drunken tramp, falls into the ring and
      wants to ride a horse, the ring master threw the
      drunkard out, and with much seeming indignation
      asked why there were no policemen around to keep
      order.  A German policeman who was standing by,
      and who knew the man belonged to the circus, felt
      indignant at having the police abused, so he took
      the alleged drunken man and, nothwithstanding the
      circus people tried to explain the circumstances,
      he was hustled off to the lock-up, and the act was
      left out.  After the show the proprietor went to
      the jail and got the performer out, and abused the
      policeman a little for being too officious.  The
      policeman said: "Vell, a choke is a choke, but ven
      a man zay vere de hell is de bolice, and vy don'd
      dey arrest dat drunk man, den de Marquette bolice
      is in dot vicinity, und don'd you forget it, Mr.
      Circus.  I bed you."
