GRIND Lodge OF Odd Fellows TO Modify
the Status OF Their Military Branch.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 10.-The
anal disposal Of their military of shoot,
the Patriarchs Militant, will be an i'm
portant question for the Odd Fellows
Grand Lodge, which is meeting here.
For several years this has been a
source of weakness to the order, rather
than the strength expected when il was
first established. SO great became the
dissatisfaction that the Sovereign Grand
Lodge at the last session, passed law
terminating the present control with
this years session, and putting the
cantons within the state enoampments
jurisdiction.
To many IL seems desirable to cater tC
the military element among the younger
members, and they hope to see the Pa
triaichs revived under more popular
management.

The Police Think He Died From Injuries In
f1icted Christmas Night.

The officers Of the 4th precinct are investi-
eating the case of the colored bootblack, Turner
Freeman, whose death. according to the
coroner's jury, resulted form the effects Of in
juries inflicted by some person or
persons to the jury unknown, as pub
hshed in yesterdays STAR. In making the
investigation the officers have learned who
assaulted Freeman Christmas night. but they
have made no arrest as they hope to be able to
cause the arrest Of the person or persons who
are responsible for the more recent injuries.
Although the autopsy showed that the frac-
tdre Of the skull was Of recent occurrence and
the doctors opinion was that the fracture WAS
caused within twenty-four hours OF the mans
death. the officers are still of the opinion that
the Christmas night assault near the James
Creek canal had something to do with his
death.
As published in yesterdays STAR, Freeman
suffered with spasms after his treatment at that
time. and from time to time he showed evil
dences Of disordered mind. both Of which. il
is thought, were due directly to the
sault. In addition to this there
q discharge Of pus from
the ear. All these conditions, the officers think.
had some bearing on the mans death: although
their investigation will be directed toward
learning il possible something Of Freeman's
movements last week just previous to his death.
Nothing has yet been learned concerning the
whereabouts Of Freeman's mother further than
that she is in Ohio. The body was buried in
the potter's field yesterday afternoon after the
inquest was held
