last Monday night, June 4. was our
regular meeting and We also desired TO
elect officers OF the lodge as follow:
The Worshipful Master, Senior Wa
den and Junior Warden. l, Z. J.

was an exciting debate over the sdop-
ton of the minutes OF previous meet

Whiting and B. Frank Watson, lis
lieutenant, followed by l.. Gsirs, 4.

ton were Rev. Weston Green. Jsmes

oldest members, interviewed and ran 10
between the combatants. Whiting
then grabbed chair aud raise it 10

there was general mix up for about
one minute. Ia the scrimmsge Frank

blow at either George Preston or Rot.
inson, but the blow fell short and lsGd'
ed on Writings head. The three men
were all in q buDch-Whiting, Robit-

the blow. The sword was then grabbed
and taken from Watson by C. ".
Preston. Then they retired quickly
from the room. leaving their wounded
