Hoosiers Objected to Methods of Lodge
Initiation.

Kokomo, Ind, March 11.-There
we're interesting times in GoatdOm
here this week. There were shooting
ARRAYS at two limitations. At one
lodge Thomas Zell, brother of town
ship trustee Amos Zell was made
believe that he must Jump into a
lake of burning lava. The room was
dark and the candidate was partially
stripped and fettered. Zell, in terror,
broke the cords binding his arms,
drew a revolver and commenced
shooting. He knocked several OF
the degree staffs down with his fist,
but if any OF the bullets found lodg-
ment the fact is kept secret. The
lodge members fed in all directions,
and the session was adjourned with
out formality. Zell was given all
serts of extras" in his initiation,
but he would not stand forit. Find
ing himself alone in the darkness,
Zell hunted up his clothes as best the
could and went home, declaring the
initiation would remain unfinished,
as he had enough of it. A few even
ings ago NJ. l.. Haney was shot in
the shoulder by mistake at an initi-
alton of the lodge of Pathfinders.
