Peck, president; k. 5. Tomlinson, vice president; Dr W. Fran cis Spring, secretary; l.. M. Johnson, treasurer. After the officers were elect ed and the business finished, a social chat followed, and the meeting brought to a close about I o'clock.

worth of wool in transit destined for
West Superior. 1t was seized on the

nal consignors, who claim the wool
could not be legally seized while in
transit to satisfy a debt of a consignee.
