BOSTON, Oct. and American Legion police controlled the downtown streets today after a night of disturbances by mobs of hoodlums. Overturned automobiles, the ashes of scores of bonfires that had been built in downtown thoroughfares and on Boston Commons, and here and there a battered head marked the passage of the rowdies, who took advantage of the privileges extended to the Legionnaires on a night of frivolity after the annual parade in connection with the national convention.

"SCHOOL RINGS TODAY AT LUNCHEON CLUB 'rithmetic' and took Lead men back to the three "R's" of childhood school days at the Highland hotel today when the first meeting of the new luncheon club was held. R. V. Hunkins, who was chairman of today's gathering, called the tardy ones into the dining room with the aid of a more or less old fashioned and raucus school bell and then conducted a hilarious "classroom" which included a spelling match between Damon Clark and Albert Gushurst.

The singing "lesson" was conducted by Miss Mae Martin, with Miss Maude Watkins at the piano. The songs were reminiscent of the "spitball age" and were sung with gusto. The only one who got a red mark in deportment was Leslie Robinson. Despite the fact that many local men hovered close to their radios this noon to hear the final game of the world series, there was an attendance at the luncheon club of 20 Lead men. Aside from the merriment, there WAS a discussion of several civic activities, including winter sports.

Leslie Robinson was selected as chairman for the next meeting of the luncheon group, which will be held at the Highland hotel two weeks from today. No meeting will be held a week from today since a commercial club dinner is planned for a week from tonight.

This chair, which property of P.

A. Gushurst, is the oldest piece of furniture in Lead, and Mr. Gushurst will give it to the Adams Memorial Hall in Deadwood where it will be used as the chair for the presiding officer of the pioneers 1 in the room which has been especially fitted up for their use. The chair was made in Lead in 1876, entirely by hand and without the use of nails. It is made of birch.

The chair contains some nails now, but these have been put in in recent years to reinforce it. It provides a comfortable seat, and according to Mr. Gushurst a chair of that type was indeed a luxury in this part of the country in 1876. It has been in Mr. Gushurst's possession since 1877.

In the seat of the chair are two very small holes -evidences of frontier horseplay. In those days, Mr. Gushurst recalls, diversions were few and they called for some inventive genius. A needle was concealed in one or the other of these holes. It was devised so that when an unsuspecting victim had relaxed himself in the chair this needle could be pushed upward.

The victim would then leap wildly from the chair in the quite natural reaction while the jokesters would howl with glee. The only solace for the victims was to find another unsuspecting innocent and invite him to try out the chair. HACK WILSON VOTED MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. PHILADELPHIA, Oct.
