The coal bill of the state of Iowa for
the state institutions is becoming big
ger every year. AT the state nstltu-
tions there Is a slight increase IN the
amount of coal consumed. but hardly IN
proportion to the increase IN business
done, for the state is adopting new
methods and the very best machinery
and furnaces. But coal prices are
gaining rapidly. The state Is using, at
the various institutions, about 10000
tons of coal year. Last year there
was an increase of so cents ton on

others formed Washington Lodge, No. /.
Thomas Widely a mechanic of London
arrived in Baltimore in 1917, and here he
met year later John Welsh. another Eng

ingly an advertisement inserted in
the Baltimore American in it's issue of
February Ii, 1919. which read as follows
Notice to All Odd Fellows-A few mem
bers of the Society of Odd Fellows will be
glad to meet their brethren for consulta-
ton upon the subject of forming lodge
A meeting will be held Friday evening, I'd
of March, 1S19.'
Only two members-John Duncan and
John Cheatham-responded to the adver-
tsement. There was still one member
lacking of the five necessary for the forma-
ton of lodge.
1t was thereupon decided to again in
sert the notice in the American in the
hope of attracting another Odd Fellow.
This was done on March 81. 1919. setting
the date of the next meeting at Friday
| evening, April =, at the Seven Stars Inn
First Organization.
Richard Rushwood responded to the call
this time, and the five. on April 26. 1919.
Instituted the Washington Lodge. No. 1, the
original cndrtef OF WniCh. issued by the
Manchester Unity, is still in the possession
and in fair state of preservation, of the
local Grand Lodge. The first officers were:
Thomas Wildey. noble grand and John
Welsh, vice grand. Thus the order was
started and has continued to grow until to-
day it numbers over 1 900, coo members.
Another point of great interest VIII be
the Grand Lodge room at Odd Fellows
Temple, Saratoga and Liberty streets. Here
may be seen the costly collection of Oil
portraits of the past grand sires of the
der. This collection embraces seventy-one
portraits. including the grand patriarchs,
and is valued-at $1S,O00 being probably the
most valuable collection of this order in
the world.

SHERIFF WAS SLAIN
Bloody Battle With Redskins is
Reported
of the Wyoming
Indians.
SIX INDIANS KILLED.
INDIANS
KILLED.

dred men, including sherits' posses
augmented BY volunteers from the
ranches adjacent, are securing the
country in the vicinity Of Lightning
Greek, in Eastern Wyoming, in search
of the band of Indians which Satur-
day fought . battle with Sheriff Mil.
ler's posse and killed the sheriff and
one deputy named Fossenburg. The
latest advices say that . second hattie
has been fought and ten Indians have
been killed and eleven others captured
but this has not yet been verified.
News from the scene Of the trouble,
which 10 rs miles from telegraphic
communication, is very meager.
The Indians. rs in number, said to
be under the leadership OF Charlie
Carries Elk, are Supposed to be Sioux
from the Pine Ridge and Rosebud
agencies In South Dakota. They have
been hunting in the Converse country,
Wyoming. in violation OF the game
laws, of the state. Sheriff Miller, with
o posse went to the scene Of their dep
rotations last Saturday and attempted
to arrest the Indians.
The Indians received warning of the
coming OF the whites and prepared an
ambuscade for them. The posse would
have been entirely wiped out but for
the fact that they were proceeding eau
tiously and were in a measure pre-.
pared for some trick on the part of the
Indians
At the first volley from the Indians,
Sheriff Miller and his deputies hastily.
hurried to cover and then CONNER eed
genuine Indian fight. 1t is thought
that at least six Indians were killed,
and several others wounded, among
the latter being Eagle Feather, "a Sioux
chief The battle lasted almost an hour
when the Indians began to make their
escape by ones and twos on horseback.
They carried their dead and wounded
with them, and are now believed to he
we'll on their way to the Bad Lands in
Nebraska. The officers did not attempt
to follow, but sent . courier to Lusk,
the nearest telegraph office with q mes
sage to Governor Chatterton, appris.
ing him Of what had occurred.
When Sheriff Miller Of Weston coun.
ty, was notified Of the refusal of the
Indians to get out of the state and the
threats made by them he organized a
small posse, including RID. Hackney,
ID. o. johnson, Fred Howell, Lieu
tenant b. +. Hilton and James Davis,
and started for Beaver Greek. along
which the redskins were encamped.
On Friday the Indian camp was
reached. 1t was deserted by all except
the squaws, children and few old
men. The posse started on search of
the braves. They were located Satur-
day. and during the afternoon the
whites were suddenly fired on and the
battle followed.

Of the recent uncalled for attacks of
German on the president. President
Roosevelt has made the following Wig

my back on the principles Of human
liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lin

and unfit to be president if could be
capable of it.

the radical labor union men who would
shut out all other men from an oppor-
tunity to work, nor by those who
would CLOSE the door of hope against

are all demanding special privileges,
