Tillson Tibbetts caught one of his
deer one day early last week. The
animal was with a herd of cattle
west of town, along the banks of
the Redwood. Mr.. Tibbetts went
out there with a pan of oats. The
animal came up to partake of the
mess. Mr.. Tibbetts attempted to
hold it but the deer broke away. A
second attempt proved as unsuc-
cessful, but at the third attempt
Mr.. Tibbetts caught the deer by
the horns and held fast. The deer
was brought to its corral in the
city, since which time it refuses to
eat from pan held by Mr.. Tibbetts.
The other deer was last seen in the
woods around the Martin farm, and
probably counts on wintering there.
Twenty-four years ago, in July Of
1880, scant dozen of Redwood citi-
zens met in a law Office over the
brick drug store then the only
brick building on Second street,
and organized a lodge of United
Workmen. At least three of the
number-C. A. Francois, J. b.
WATSON and Geo. Liebenguth- have
been dead many years, and what
has become of Druggist O'Hara and
Frank Morrill,, who were the re-
corder and master workman of the
first lodge, is unknown to the writ
er. The lodge struggled through
the first ten years Of its career with
a score or so of members, but later
caught on so effectually that it now
pays assessments on one-hundred
and sixty odd members, and is in
creasing from year to year. The
lodge enjoyed banquet and re-
union last Wednesday evening, in
the new lodge rooms oyer Auue &
Thune's, which they share with the
K. s. An interesting program
followed by an oyster supper with
all the frills on, were the principal
features.

are given him for caring for his
currency and silver. The vault
door is one of the latest Cary wheel
locks, and the interior of the vault
is equipped with the latest banking
furniture. A long distance phone

rear, while in the front is the cash

room for ladies. The cashiers desk
is near the lobby, where patrons
