The changing of dales for the Pio
neer dance was the cause.
The large heartedness of the Pio
neers was the reason.
And the arrival of Marshal Reed on
the scene was the result.
The Pioneer dance which was sched
uled to take place tonight at the Odd
fellow's Hall was pulled last night a£
the eleventh hour. The reason for the
sudden change in the date was the ar
rival of the Oast Guard Cutter, Sno
homish in Seward from Chigmk with
the crew of the Joseph Pulitzer. The
people of Seward who are widely not
ed for their generosity decided fco en
tertain the officers and men of the
Snohomish by staging * an informal
dance. It was an eleventh hour affair,
being made so by the unheralded ar
rival of the cutter. The committee in
charge found the going hard. Music
ians were scarce. Failure to put the
dance.through stared them in the face
up to a late hour. Then presto. The
dance was assured. The Pioneers came
to the assistance of the committee and
suggested the change in date. The do
nations made by the merchants of
Seward for the special dance were
turned over to the Pioneer Officials
ind all plans were perfected. At nine
o’clock the strains of music drifted
from the hall and passers by were
aware that the dance was on. All was
well. The sailors from the Snohomish
were tripping the light fantastic. The
girls ofSeward had forgotten the local
talent and were doing their utmost to
make the 4'Gobs” feel at home. The
lunch tables were set in the big front
room with the Coney Island lunch all
prepared and several mysterious box
es, containing several dozen bottles,
which in turn contained an amber coL
orpd liquid, which was simply an mo
ment concoction of “Home Brew” had
been delivered £o the ball by Bill Pat
terson the local express man earlier
*n the evening. Thus, it was. Curtain
up and the first act in full swing,
vhen presto. Enter Marshal Ralph
Reed looking solemn and serious.
Through the room wherein reposed the
unch strode the Marshal. Straight to
Lhe bottles of amber colored “Heme
Irew” he went He seized the entire
. ©flection and when he departed file
‘Home Brew” went with him.
There may or not have been an al
ohottc content in the amber fluid, but
Their wad a "Kick” and because there
ras it-was the Marshal's duty £o seize
he liquid refreshments. Thus ended
the second act and only a few of those
directly interested saw the finish. The
‘Gobs'9 and the younger set knew
nothing about the removal of the li
quid par£ of the Coney Island Lunch.
There was no intent on the part of
Toe Strejc when he brewed the home
brew to infringe upon the law. There
wap no. intent on the part of “Bill"
Patterson to infringe upon the law. He
knpg not what he hauled. He simply
stteibtld t*i hill business of express
piby calling for and delivering.
There Wap no intent on the pert of
fThttn Krefting or Mr. Paulson or Cal
Brosius or, any other member of the
Pioneers to infringe upon the law. The
whole transaction was unintentional.
It was simply an act of generosity on
die part of the Pioneers to make every
person who attended the dance have
an enjoyable time. The time had was
particularly enjoyable,: notwithstand
ing the absence of the “Home Brew".
The dance was ope of the finest af
fairs of I* kind ever given in Seward.
The visiting sailors will always re
member the occasion. Home Brew,
Jazz Music and the Marshal make a
wonderful combination, particularly so
when the combination b segrated as it
