Open installation Of officers in
Beetown Camp, NJ. w. A was the oc-
casion on Thursday evening, jan. 4
Of bringing into the town many
guests. The hall was crowded and
the exercises were rendered most
creditable to the camp. A candidate
was initiated into the "secret" mys-
teries of the order. Joe Birch was
the poor pilgrim seeking entrance
and his impersonation of Dutch
farmer passing through the ordeals of
the different degrees brought down
the house. Many neighbors were
present from other towns. Two
hundred and fifteen guests were roy
ally banqueted by .mine host" Matt
Aule and his lady. There was music
and dancing until late hour.
This seems to be a poor county
for seine-iishing, at least Roy Dodge
and Albert Bates who have had some
experience in this line, must have
that opinion. Deputy State Game
Warden, S. d. Fisher Of Broadhead,
and County Warden, Ed Roschi,
brought about 200 feet Of seine TO
Lancaster, To-Day, Wednesday, and
left with the county clerk, which
they captured on the Mississippi
about four miles below Bertram lake
at what is known as Hurricane shoot,
and said net supposed to belong to the
above named parties Warrants
were issued for their arrest, but be-
fore they could be served the men
had made good their escape across
the river into Iowa. This being their
second offense it will be likely to 90
hard with the men if tn ey are proven
guilty, the fine being not less than
twenty-five dollars, or ninety days in
Jail.
