Dancers Disappoint a Monster Crowd at South LaPorteThe colored dance and cake walk Monday at South LaPorte proved to be a frost. Fifteen hundred people went out on the Air Line during the evening but all came back disappointed. The colored people, with whom arrangements had been made to give the cake walk, squawked when they found such a crowd present. Some of the colored people claimed that they were “guyed” and insulted by the white people and that was the reason they refused to carry out their part of the agreement. William Brlnck-mann, who had made some of the arrangements, was in no way to blame for the refusal of the colored people to give the dance and cake walk, after the musicians bad been hired and the cake bought by him, but in order to show that he Is on the square he will go to South Bend and will not only engage some colored cake walkers but also a colored quartette, persons that can be depended upon, and then he will give an entertainment that will be worth going out to South LaPorte to see. The people who went out that night do not feel that because a few rowdies and trunks made insulting remarks, for which they were run off the premises, that the dancers and cake walkers should have gone back on thetr promises.
