called upon the bold men Tuesday eve
ming, and I'm a few words. told them
that the idea they had in mind was an
insane one. and that they mad better re-
consider 1t. The Deputy told them that

them as a lodge. and was sorry that he
should be called upon TO be one that
would be obliged TO give drubbing
and such n drilbbng that they would
remember TO theif-dying day. Past
Grand George II. Kilmer acted as
spokesman for Roger williams Lodge,
and, bantam like. said that the chal-
lenge was still on. and he knew that

will ask Is that no member of Roger
Williams Lodge shall go armed. Kill

the latter said, 'Well. Mr.. Bishop. well
go you Just one better. Well appoint a
committee this evening. Here Is the
committee: G. s. Clarke. Ed. Bushnell
