The Game rs It Was Formerly Played
in Alleys Built in the

The American Indians were great
bowlers. Alleys Of greater length than
any in use to-day were built in the
open fields. Balls hewn out Of stone
were rolled by genuine Indian muscle.
IN fact. there is scarcely a popular
kind OF game played in this country
to-day but that its counterpart can be
found in the age Of the red man. They
were gamblers. too, even to forfeiting

was not C. universal one, and Of all the

|. 0. 0. F. GRAND LODGE.
Additional Notes of the Ses-
sion in Vinita.

AT yesterday afternoons session
of the grand lodge board of trus-
tees was created to consist of three
members; election was held and
resulted as follows: A. G. Turk,
Checotah, three year term; VIM.
Noble, South McAlester, two year
term; G.. w. Mowbray, Tulsa, one
year term.
Last evening about fifty candi-
dates were "railroaded" through
the Encampment degrees by the
Vinita team, and it was general
verdict that it was one of the most
enjoyable evenings ever spent in a
lodge room.
In the Masonic hall the Vinita
team exemplified the Rebekah
work. which was pronounced ex-
cellent in every particular.
This forenoon Grand Master
John A. Bright, of Kansas, arrived
and entertained the grand lodge
and also the grand assembly with
speeches such as only distinguish
ed men like him can make.
Splendid talks were also listen
ed to from Grand Secretary Har-
we'll of Tennessee, and Editor
Stephens, Of the Western Odd Eel
low published at Topeka. The
paper was adopted as the official
Odd Fellows paper Of the territory
and its editor was elected as an
honorary member of the grand
lodge or the territory.
The matter of widows and or
phans' home for the territory was
discussed at considerable length,
and, judging from the earnestness
which all members enlisted in the
fight, its location will be determin
ED upon before this session of the
grand lodge is concluded.
Grand Secretary Hatfield, who
has held that Office the past four
years, rendered his resignation.
The election of officers begins at
4 O'Clock, our hour of going to
press, consequently we cannot give
the results until tomorrow after
noon.
The election of officers in the as.
sembly also is in progress this af-
ternoon.
