During the past week Supreme Regent
Akin and Supreme Secretary Packard as
sisted in the organization of a large castle
at Dell Rapids s. d. These officers, with
Supreme Counsellor Carr. were In Sioux
Falls upon business and attended a special
meeting Of the Sioux Falls castle. The new
work was exemplifed. a program Of much
merit was given and the members and in
vited guests to the number Of nearly 100
sat down to the banquet Interesting re-
marks we're made by Supreme Regent Akin,
Supreme Counsellor Carr, Supreme Secretary
Packard, State Regent Duggan, Mystic Nc
Donald Of Pipestone. Mimi; Secretary
Treasurer Mundt Of Hartford. s. D., and
Mystic Kerr, the newly inducted candidate.
About eight months ago publicity was
given by some Of the South Dakota papers
to the fact that suits had been instituted
against the Imperial Mystic Legion by two
former deputies. One of these cases was on
trial In Sioux Falls last week before q
referee The decision will be rendered as
soon as the testimony can be written UP and
the written arguments Of the attorneys filed.
After one case had been gone through with
the other was settled at about the actual
cost Of going through with the case. The
testimony being practically the same in both
cases, the inference as to the prospects Of
being successful In the latter case is plain.
A curious incident in the organization Of
castles of the I. M. L. Is that Del Rio.
Tex, will probably contain the castle num-
bored next after the one organized at De3
Rapids, 8. D.
A castle will be instituted during the week
at Atlantic, Ia, by Superintendent Of Field
Work F. M. Riegel. 1t has not been de-
1t is conceded that 1t would be appropriate.
