SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB.
Members Want to Know About
Dance in Their Hall,

Some members of the Scottish Thistle
Club are very indignant over the actions
OF certain other members who took upon
themselves unauthorized privileges. Who
the unruly ones are Is question which
some of the members are endeayoring to
ascertain.
At special meeting called last evening
for the purpose OF taking action in the
matter, Great Chief j. 4. Watson made a
long address, and asked that some action
be taken TO bring to light the whole mat
ter. From his remarks il appears that ON
last Saturday evening number of tile
members, accompanied by lady friends.
arrived at the club building on New Mont
gomery street for the purpose of holding
dance in the apartments set aside for that
purpose. but as 10 notification had been
gwen OF such an event, the doors were
found locked and the gas turned off. On
seeing this the amusement-seekers DELHI
erateIy forced an entrance and held high
links until early the following morning.
TIE members who thus offended have
so well covered their tracks that detection
has thus far been unsuccessful.
During last winter il was the custom for
the club to hold regular Saturday evening
dances. the management of which was
placed in the hands of committee, which
claims to be still in power. ct recent
meeting another committee was selected to
succeed the former body and conduct the
coming winter amusements. No steps
were taken at the time or subsequently 10
discharge the old committee and now the
question arising is, Which is in authority !?
1t is said that the social last Saturday
evening was authorized by the former
committee, but as mons Of that committee
were present at the meeting the matter
still remains a mystery.
In order to thoroughly investigate the
matter all interested will be notified TO
appear at a meeting to be held in the near
future.
