The case OF G. E. Custer VS.. A. O.
Adams and ia other defendants was
tried and submitted on briefs in depart
ment two of the superior court yester-

of South Main-street hall, which he
rented to lodge 234 of the A. O. U. w.
at the rate OF $35 per month. The lodge
could not afford to pay this sum after
losing number of its members, and de-
