The Doings Of
Koujrarok Leona
Are Daily News
Kougarok LEONA’S smashing
vote getting campaign came to a
sudden stop last night when she
bumped into U. S. Marshal Thos.
Gaffney. LEONA’S untackful
method of obtaining votes had
been the cause of several com
plaints and it eventually fell up
on Tom to enforce the law and
take LEONA to the Hooskow.
Tom almost broke down at the
thought of having to arrest his
old time friend and said it was
the toughest pinch he had ever j
made. ,
She appeared this morning be
fore Judge C. C. Tanner and after
he had heard the many charges
against LEONA, she was sentenc
ed to 15 days in jail Leona quick
ly realized that this would sink
her chances in the Queen Contest
so she sent out an SOS to all the
Kougarokers. In nothing flat Ed.
Hoven had arrived and paid her
fine. Judge Tanner almost went
into a tailspin when LEONA step
ped up to pay her fine and there- j
upon demanded Queen votes.'
Sensing a very embarrassing sit
uation Judge Tanner immediately
adjourned court after which they
retired to the judge’s chambers.
Slim Rydeen and Norvin Lewis
were hiding behind the corner
when LEONA suddenly aippeared
and they both stated that if they
were any judge of women Leona
had got her man again.
Triumphantly she charged up
the street to the hospital. She
demanded a consultation with Dr
Morcom and upon being shown
into his office she told the doctor
she wished her face lifted in or
der to improve her chances in the
Queen Contest.
After the necessary financial
arrangements were made LEONA
demanded 2000 queen votes be
fore she would pay the fee. The
doctor stated that it would be
very unethical to give queen
votes for operations. As a com
promise the doctor finally agreed
to remove a very unsightly wart
I
on Leona’s neck without extra j
charge.
Dr. Morcom announces that ,
barring complications, Leona will j
be out of the hospital within a j
day or two, so if you think Leona j
is good now, just wait and see
her go into action with her new
face and no wart. i
Total votes for Leona todate
—560.
