mishap last night. The usual stop at
Denrock was made and Fireman John

Testimony Hurts Startzman's Feelings.
In April, 1897, 4 committee at Gin

dence to suhstantiate the allegations
freely made at that time in that part
of the country to the effect that
crooked work was being done in con-
nection with the conduct of the head
Office, such evidence to be presented at
the head camp meeting of the order
in June, with a view of preventing
the reelection of Maj. Halves and his
associates, but which happily only
proved n boomerang. Maj. Halves
was summoned to testify before the
committee. He was asked why he dis
charged StartZman. He at first declined
to give his reasons. not desiring to in
jure the reputation of the man, but
when pressed, he cited incidents and
furnished references, which are now
taken advantage of by Startzman as
cause for his action in court.
