the Secret Order of A. o. X. NJ. g.
There is revolt among the members of

origin of a side degree in the order known
as the Hair Pin Knights of the Round
Table. The trouble dates back to the
month of June, when an order was issued
by Supreme Commander Stanley of Pied
mont, Va, notifying the members to cease
comforting the side degree. This the l2,0oD
Hair Fin members refused to do and all
the castles i'll Delaware New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, numbering in all los castles,
elected representatives, who held meet
ing and decided to fight the right Of the
supreme commander to order them to do
anything not relating to the business Of
the organization.
...This was communicated to the supreme
commander, and he answered that the
side order was the concern Of the lodge as
the Hair Pin degree was a satire on certain
portions of the ritualistic work Of the
knights Of the Mystic Chain, and he again
issued the prohibtory order.
Then the Hair Pin Knights threatened
that if they were forced to discontinue the
side degree they would leave the Ancient
Order of the Mystic Chain and form a sep
arate organization.
The trouble has reached such crisis
throughout the entire order that the lead
ing members Of the New Jersey castles say
that if driven to the wall the Hair Pin
knights of the Round Table will take the
place Of the A. O. X. Of the NJ. G. There
are at present LOG castles in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, New York. Maryland, West
Virginia, Ohio and Delaware that have
taken the side degree and they all declare
they will be loyal to it.

Exaggerated Reports of the Invasion OF
the Cherokee Strip.

KANSAS CITY, March 23.-Dispatches
from several points in Indian Territory
are to the effect that there has been
very quiet Sunday in the Cherokee strip,
the troops finding few settlers to eject.
1t appears from the reports of the COM
manding officers in the strip and reliable
newspaper men, that the situation
there has been exaggerated by
the correspondents who were early
in the field and the inhabitants
OF the border towns which would be
benefited by the rush of settlers into
the strip. Reliable reports now are to
the effect that great many of the boom
ers were citizens of these very towns
and were town-lot boomers rather than
bona tide settlers. The exaggerated re-
ports of the harshness of the troops in
dealing with the settlers also originated
from these towns, the object being to
arouse prejudice against the troops
and sympathy with the settlers.
One of the latter exaggerations
was in last nights news dispatches,
which chronicled the destruction by
United States troops, of Cherokee City.
From the newspaper reports one would
be led to believe that Cherokee City,
was at least a thriving border town OF
400 or 500 inhabitants. In fact, as ap-
pears from Captain Woodson's report,
the town was composed of just four
cabins, whose owners stepped over the
Cherokee line to avoid detection by the
troops, and the consequent forfeiture of
their homestead rights.
