Knights Of Pythias.

For some time past arrangements have
been in progress for the institution OF a
Knights of Pythias lodge in jamestown,
and it is now announced that the event
will occur in two weeks-on Tuesday,
March 2lst. The promoters of the new
lodge are among the best young men of
the city, who are old members of the
order, and they say that large class of
candidates will be conducted from page
to knighthood at the first meeting. This
will insure al active, working lodge from
the start, and yet 1t is announced that
care will be exercised in the selection of
material for members.
The institution of the lodge in this
city will be notable event in secret so
ciety circles. and promises to draw many
visiting members Of the order to the CITY
The Darlington Independent says the
lodge at that place has been invited and
will attend in body. The New Rock
ford Knights will also come in force,
along with delegations from Steele. Man
dan, Bismarck, Casselton and Fargo. Of
course the visitors will be entertained IN
the genuine jamestown manner, and the
gathering prove joyons one in every
respect
Although the last to organize lodge
here, the K. P.'s stand we'll up in the
front rank of fraternal orders--being the
third in point of age in the United States
and now standing third or fourth in
membership. The orde. is popular every
where, it's personnel being enthusiastic in
their devotion to it's work, and its pur.
poses favorably regarded by the outside
public.

In Justice Court.

Euzepher and Andrew Tomjack were
in justice court last week to settle .
little family difficulty. MI. A. Tomjack
was arrested at the instigation OF his
wife, Euzepher, for assault and battery.
Euzepher, a comely dame Of about forty
summers, claimed through her interpre-
ter (the family are Poles and only the
father was able to understand any Eng
lish), that he had been in the habit of
hitting, striking and intiicting corporal
punishment upon her person whenever
he choosed to. In rebuttal, Mr.. A. Tom
jack claimed that his wife was not
much of housekeeper anyway and was
continually running away from home.
She naturally thought that
almost any place was happier than
home, sweet home, and accordingly
made herself scarce. A son and daugh-
ter, about of age, and a little boy
probably 5 years old, we're witnesses on
the fathers side, but as they could not
talk any English their testimony was
stricken from the court reporters record.
Euzepher started her mouth going once
and went away and left 1t, and that tes-
timony was also at the request of the
attorneys, striken from the record as
incompetent. prevalent. impertinent AID
not applicable to the case. During the
intervals in the proceedings the smallest
Tomjack, solemnly puffed his papa's
dudeen and acted as though he thorough
ly enjoyed the proceedings. To settle
the case and avoid an all around fracas
both plaintiff and defendant were put
under $500 bonds to not fracture the
peace.
