PYthian Wants Degree Fec Back.

Raleigh, N. c., June ia very curl
GUS case is before the Superior Court OF
BuDcombe county. Last April an official
of the Knights of Pythias instituted q
lodge at Trenton. John Curtis had paid
$40 initiation fee, had taken his first
rank and had nearly finished the second
when he suddenly refused to go any
farther and demanded his money be re.
turned before he left the hall. Little at.
tention was paid to this demand, it being
thought Curtis would either drop the
matter or finish taking tho ranks.
Yesterday an official of the lodge was
served with State warrant, making the
charge that he had assaulted Curtis and
had taken and carried away $40 belong
ing TO the latter. The Pythians are
greatly stirred by this proceeding and
the Grand Lodge of this State has sen,
an attorney to represent the offici,l in
question, who is District Deputy Grand
Chancellor George l.. l.. Hackney.
