lease of the hall in the Spinney building
with the privilege Of sub-leasing, and the
Pythian knights. Foresters and United
Workmen held their meetings on alternate
nights.
The lease expired on September / and
the landlord declined to renew it. The
Odd Fellows claimed that the privilege of
renewal is contained or implied In the
lease, and after depositing the rent in a
bank TO the landlords credit they con-
tnued to hold possession.
Last night the landlord changed the
lock on the outer door of the anteroom and
sat up to keep watch. He fell asleep, how
ever, and the Odd Fellows. who had heard
OF the transaction, decided that the ''goat"
and other parapherD LA must be protected
from prOfane curiosi at all hazards. An
entrance was effected through the transom
while the landlord slept and the lock was
again changed.
