Fact #55558

The Hood River Glacier of Hood River, Oregon, USA, reports that, "The newly-married couples on Lyman Smith avenue were liberally serenaded. Rolly Phelps got off easy by setting up the cigars for the boys. But Jim Kaiser was not so fortunate. The serenaders took his place by storm Sunday night. By promising to get some whiskey by next evening he got them to let up on the 'music' they made with the horse fiddle and tin pans. Before the next evening he repented of his rash promises to get the whiskey. The boys came back Monday night, and when they found he had failed to procure the whiskey they bombarded his house with everything that would make a racket, beat the sides of it with scanting and yelled in a manner that would make a Comanche Indian take a back seat. Jim finally promised to raise $1.50 next day and leave it at one of the stores in town to treat the crowd, and the boys left."
