Evans and Sontag case, which r. c.

Evans, land hope l will do what is right
on the stage.
II wonder that have any brain left at

was really like a thunderboIt from a clear
sky. Tho fusIllade OF bullets. the killing OF
Beaver and woundlng of Witty seemed a
terrible dream. For TWO days after l was
like a llnatic. My mind was in state of
chaos.
After that though things went on al
most as If ny husband was at home.
He and John SOntag came and went as
they pleased. Sometimes they would stay
seven days, at other times for five, three or
two days. They came by the regular
country road. Their last visit was when
they were shot at by the detectives, about

closely watched. Finally, had a friend
in Tulare who managed to get one for me,
and it cost me SIS. But il was of great
service to the fugitives. Chris made a
cover for it of mountain squirrel skins.

The mum Der of amendments so far sub
mitted to the committee on amendments is
not as large as 1t has been in past years.
Most OF those sent in are in relation to the
representation of delegates to the Grand
Council. and are aimed at cutting down
the number, or having them more nearly
represent the membership of the lndi-
vidual ncils than they do under the
present laws. 1t is not likely that any
change will be made in the present way of
having delegates sent TO the council.
For several years past there has been
some discussion in quiet way of forming
a new urisdicliOn-thereby making three.
The new one, if established. will include
all the country above the northern bound

constant source OF plling up death benefit
assessments so as to be burdensome on the
majority of the members It's complete
abolition was effected by the Fresno
council. In its stead a new feature was
substituted, which allows those individual
councils that wish to incorporate death
feature in their laws to have such, but
whose highest limit is fixed at 500. The
mnnthly dues were fixed at 81, and out of
mis- all assessments, etc, of tile Grand
Council are 10 be paid. This plan has
met with general satisfaction.
In referring to the operation of the
change made las; year, Grand Pres dent
Rendon will have the following to say in
lis annual report to the Grand Council:
''In entering upon the duties of the trust
con hded year ago to the care and keep
70 IF this administration, which is soon
. be transferred to another, we were con-
irnnted with an entirely new system and
code of laws, appertaining TO the impor-
tant and paramount purpose for which
this order was established. Many felt and
judged that day that the dark hour of life
as an organization had arrived. Much de-
pended upon and was expected of the in
coming administration should adversely,
then pictured by many, become a poten
factor.
1.-THE administration assumed those re-
gponsibilities fully advised as TO what the
result might be and fully prepared to bat
tie. that we might cross safely the i'm
aginary crisis. Time, through the careful
Guidance OF our Protector on high, soon
shed the light of dav upon that dark hour.
Advergtv was averted and the crisis was
found spanned by bridge erected upon
rock with marble pillars as its support.
From careful survey Of the condition and
position in which the order finds itself to-
Gay, it is certain that it has reached the
true basis upon which it is destined to ever
stand"
At the time that the old death benefit

from the laws of the
