Gould, of the trial committee, arose
and made a motion to the effect that,
tin view of the many past disturb
ances caused in the council by Mr. An
derson, that he be perpetualiy expelled
from the council
Mr.. Anderson protested against the
action, but President Johnson used his
gavel vigorously and refused to hear
him. 1t is said that Mr.. Anderson con-
tinued to talk for about five minutes
regardless of the chairs rapp1ng for
order, and for a time it looked as II
there was to be a recurrence of the riot
of two weeks ago. But Police Officer
Lawrence, who is a member of the or
der, had been detailed to be present and
prevent a disturbance, and he succeed
ed in quieting the fray before it had
gone far.
The president then appointed Brother
Lawrence committee to escort MI
Anderson to the street, although the
latter protested that if the trial board
insisted on his leaving, he would make
his departure without an escort. How
ever, the officer accompanied Mr.. An
derson to the sidewalk, and he, togeth-
er with Mrs. Knox, at once left the
building.

her attorney the trial of the case was
continued, and it resulted in a verdict
against Mrs. Knox, and she was ex-

hospitality of our Kentucky F'raters,''
says Grand Commander Edward w.
Wellington of Ellsworth.
1t is interesting to know that Mr..
Wellington with his energy has won
for the Kansas delegation to these con-
claves a great reputation. He has hus-
tied around and made arrangements to
take MarshalPs band and the ModOcs
to this event, and it is anticipated, judg-
