with Blue Lodge masons. The
division was formed Saturday even.
ing and made its first appearance
last evening, turning out twenty.six
men. 1t was fine looking body and

steady order up Market-street. The I'M

ssting OF black coat and pants, the
coat being long and buttoned up to the
chin with silver buttons, black beaver
helmet with red plume and silver trim
mings, red epaulets with silver gaunt-
lets and sword and belt.
At the corner of Main and Twelfth
streets Germania Lodge fell in and the
column proceeded to the boat. The La
Bellies genial captain made the ninety
odd persons OH board feel perfectly at
home.
Arriving at Benwood, the visitors were
received by a committee and escorted to

cred By A. b. Doane, which vas
followed bv an eloquent speech 10y Sir

Three months ago, when 200 of the leading
citizens Of Gunnlson City met IN convention
on a street corner there were seven or eight
Michigan men in the crowd. When Col. Parker
presented the following resolution it was a
Michigan man who supported it:
Res0lced, That committee of five be ap.
pointed to wait on Calabash Sam, late of Dead
wood, and inform HIM that after sunrise to-.
morrow morning this crowd will open fire
upon him with the intention of furnishing a
corpse for the new graveyard.
The committee of five went out to find Samu-
Ell and deliver their message. He sat on a
bench at the front door Of his shanty shot
gun across his knee and a pipe in his mouth,
and he preserved silence while the chairman
of the committee read the resolution, then
asked:
