recover $1,000 alleged to be due on Certifi-
cate L, 81 issued by the Grand Lodge on
August 10. 1881, and countersigned by the
officers Of Oak Leaf Lodge, No 50. The
attorney in drawing the complaint con-
founded the Ancient Order of United
Workmen with the United Ancient Order
of Druids, as he says the subordinate bodies
