"Coruscating, scintillating with diamonds, Ad Wolgast, champion lightweight of the world, stepped off the late G.R.&I. train last night at Cadillac. Was the prodigal given a greeting and did the fatted calf suffer? Yes and then some. There was a brillant display of fireworks that caused those gems, one on his fist, one on his manly bosom and one on each side of his collar of his soft shirt, to spit sparks so agressively that it looked as though the fire department would have to be called out.
    �Everyone from the mayor down to Ad's littlest little brother was at the station and such a yell arose when the train stopped that old Chief Petoskey turned over in his grave a hundred miles away."
