		Deputy Romero had written to the sheriff at Las Vegas that he had arrested the two prisoners, and was on his way up with them, and, also, had Barney Mason, one of the Kid's gang, in charge.
		The Las Vegas deputies offered objections to his leaving the posse, as they had, by some process of reasoning, got it in their heads that Mason was their prisoner, although they had no warrant for him and had not arrested him.
		A few miles from Las Vegas, this delectable posse stopped at a wayside tendejon to hoist in a cargo of aguardiente; I seized the opportunity to escape their objectionable society, and rode on, alone, into the town.

	Canadian Football Teams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-06)
		While I cannot answer for the Baltimore team, but the Sacramento Gold Miners and the Las Vegas Posse (yes, there were more US Canadian Football League teams than Baltimore) had the maple leaf on their helmets and commercial sports gear (t-shirts and the like) and flew the Canadian flag at games.
		This came into play with the "Canadian content" rules of the game, which stated that teams had to have a certain number of Canadians on the roster, and of those, a certain number had to be in play at any given moment.
		The U.S. teams (Baltimore, Las Vegas, Birmingham, San Antonio, Memphis, and Sacramento) were not subject to those restrictions as it would have been counter to U.S. labor laws, and I do not recall seeing maple leaves on their helmets.

	Las Vegas City Life
		And maybe that's why in the long run De La Soul and the rest of the Native Tongues posse -- A Tribe Called Quest, the Jungle Brothers, Monie Love and even latter-day practitioners like Talib Kweli and Mos Def -- haven't fared as well as gangsta rap commercially.
		But that has never really mattered to De La as much as sticking to the soul and opening up the mind, be it through rhyme or experimentation.
		That can take on a lot of forms: the living example of De La Soul is Dead, the band taking a serious risk by breaking from the insta-hit hippie image of 3 Feet, the pleas for collective redemption on "Church" (one of the highlights of the trio's new disc, The Grind Date).

		They played a two seasons in Shreveport, LA. The first design is apparently a prototype depicted on CFL football cards, but never worn on the field.
		The Posse only lasted a year, but the CFL still added two teams in 1995, the Birmingham Barracudas and the Memphis Mad Dogs, while the Gold Miners moved to San Antonio to play as the Texans.
		While the "new game with different rules" attracted a certain amount of support from football fans in the US, it soon became obvious that, particularly in the absence of a major television contract, it would be very difficult for the CFL to introduce Americans to the Canadian game and market it effectively.

		On their return to Lincoln, the posse was disbanded, but most of those composing it joined fortunes with the Kid as their accepted leader.
