Mr. Anderson la a brother-in-law of Ida Robblns, and also of C. B. Robulns, '98. Tho appearance of Mr. Anderson was sufficient to recall to his old University friends an incident of his senior year in which he took an active part, not through his own In clinalionn however. It was In December 1887. Although early In the school year, tho strife be tween tho two upper classes had al ready shown itself. Tho seniors had planned a meeting of a social character out on South Seventeenth street. Far enough away to Insure peaco they thought. But long beforo the mem bors had assembled, tho place of meet ing was surrounded by tho enemy. Every bush, fence, and out houso In tho vicinity sheltered one or more juniors ever on tho alert. At the appointed timo a concentrat ed attack was inailo on tho unsuspect ing seniors. Ah a result (Jvo of the latter woro bound and carried away desplto their struggles. Tho captive! woro carried a half mile away to the old baso ball park which was at Nine teenth and R streets. Here, ono of tho prisoners, J. A. Barrett, after tug ging at his bonds succeeded in loos ing them, and slipped away In the darkness. By following a circuitous path, across tho fields of stubble, up alleys, and through back yards, ho succeeded in again Joining his assoc iates Tho four remaining A. E. Anderson, O. B. Polk, J. R. Scofleld, and C.'S. LobJngor, woro more securely bound, then 'loaded Into a wagon and taken Into Iho country. After a drlvo of about an hour tho human freight was deposited In a barren widely separa...... .rom any habitation. By assisting each other tho four deserted ones were soon freed. Af ter stretching their stiffened limbs they started on tho weary six mile tramp back to civilization. Each one sought tho seclusion of his own homo except Anderson. His in jured spirit longed for revenge and ho nurrled toward tho police station. Ac companied by a "Cop" he started to tho scene of the capture. Prior to this tho seniors, by a sortie from the house, had succeeded in capturing two juniors who portrayed tho wen known features of Logan Stevens and D. D. Forysythe. They fed these gener ously on vinegar, bread, and im.k and like delicacies, and then freed them. They had just adjourned and were leaving for home, when Anderson ap peared. Although tho janitors were still In the vicinity, none of them were kind enough to deliver them selves. So the man with tho brass coat and blue buttons was compelled iO r turn empty-handed and Mr. An derson went to his room to attempt to drown his sorrow In soothing slumbers.
