NEGRO EVANGELIST
ENDS HIS CRUSADE IN JAIL
Methods Offend Crowd, Disturb Wlfo
nnd Annoy Cellmates.
There was a lack of spiritual Impulse
nmonn .thoso who attended the ovansol
Istlc meeting conducted by tho Bev.
Ocorgo Uanafor, nt 6th and Kntcr streets,
and today In a prison coll ho is praying
fqr the unregeneratcn who refused tq
"hit tho trail" after his flow of oratorical
Inducements.
On nccount of his forceful and physical
preaching, Jfr. Bannfcr Is known down
town as the "African 'Billy' Sunday." He
wan In fine fettlo last night, and n big
crowd was Informed that It was bound
for a warmer cllmntc. This did not seem
to displease, especially In view of the
present temperature. Mr. Banafer got the
stony stare, nnd tho crowd exhibited a
gphlnx-llkc attitude.
"Ych, hopeless," declared Mr. Bannfcr.
"Yoh, wnliowln' in sin an' don' know
It." No nnswer from tho crowd.
Tho evnngellst went to his home at
EOS South 11th street, got dawn on his
knees and prayed for tho misguided who
refused to hit tho trail. He demanded
in a thunderous voice a spiritual awak
ening of tho community.
Tho awakening came quickly. Banafer's
wlfo wns asleep upstairs. She Jumped up.
but Instead of hitting tho trail, grabbed
a lnmp and hit the evangelist.
Banafer fell In a heap, but rose quickly
and struggled with his wlfo as her hand
pawed for a friendly frying pan. Tho
woman also yelled for help.
Sergeant McGowan and policeman Miller
ran to tho house and wore Just In time,
they said, to save tho minister from
further bumps. "
When placed In a coll at tho 12th and
Pino streets station, tho evangelist took
out Ills Bible and began to pray and sing
alternately. "Nothing doin' on the re
vival," said a noxt-door neighbor, and
thoro was a chorus of "let us sleep."
Even tho police agreed with this senti
ment. Magistrate Haggerty listened patiently
to tho picas of Banafer this morning, and
then sent hiin to Jail for ?0 days.
His wlfo wa3 sent along to keep him
company.
