But Scott could not refrain . from' a few: spectacular demonstra tions. ' He blew Into town one day with his wife and a big bag girt about with chains:, and- sealed. with a -couple of padlocks. '■ This- bag weighed quite a bit over -100. pounds and when .. Scott marched up Main street with the bat; on his.back the spectacle aroused not a little interest and speculation.
