His Late Wife wss Ch.It.r Member and
Didn't Require l.it.stios.
DR.. I. A. McClory and B. d. Mints. =
brother Of President Mints. were inter.
viewed today. The latter is a deputy
head officer and has been here for Eve
months. He was sen. here from Kans sas
by his brother. he says. to settle differ.
ences between local organiz .rs. There
were three here. Messrs c. w. Jones.
Rev. S. H. Sehellenger and Mr. Nc
Cracken. Jones was jealous Of Schell
enger and mad at McClory. because the
latter had his wife's name brought in by
Schellenger instead Of Jones. These
organizers received the bulk Of the ini.
tiation fee for each name brought in 1t
was the money loss to Jones that panied
him.
Mr. Min.s said he poured oil On the
troubled waters BY sending Jones to
Pueblo 10 work for the order in that
vineyard. All worked smoothly until
Jones returned and worked up the nuclues
Of a council at Gold Hill. That was
Boulder organizers territory and again
trouble began. Mints ordered Jones to
desist at Gold Hill, but he refused 50 to
do. denying Min.s' authority. The latter
notified his brother and Jones was de-.
posed as organizer. Then he and Nc
Pherson and Fair sent for the Gold Hill
president and here in Boulder proposed
to him to take the Gold Hill council into
a new order they had incubatsd free of
charge If they would leave the Tonties.
McPherson's par. is explained by his
jealousy Of McCiory. He wanted to be
examiner OF Boulder council himself.
II eve it TO the order to say this
much" said Mr. Mints. "Jones has been
a disturbing elemen, and is attempting
to undo the order"
Then DR.. McClory exhibited his late
wife's cer.iicat countersigned by B. <.
Killer. local secretary. and approved by
the head officers a. Wichita. It's mum

McClory examined her himself and the
head examiner approved it. She was
taken in as charter member. Boulder
council operating under an opea charter
extending from August to the middle Of
December. Charter members are not
initiated, nor are they voted upon. As
to the members beng ignorant OF Mrs
McClorys membership DIR. McCiory
says Jones knew It and asked Kim why
he didn't let him bring in her name.
The doctors reply was that he wanted to
divide up fairly all bis business with the
organizers. Mr. K,blers receipts tor
December. January, February and
March assessments were shown the re.
porter. showing the lady to have been in
good standing. She died April 10 1871,
A lew days later the doctor received f7s'

this morning, "No more than you do.
