AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
To Whom Belongs the Property of
the Grange That Disbandsf

Sometimes the question arises in the
minds of members Of grange that
owns its own hall, To whom do the
hall and other property belong in case
the charter should be surrendered for
any reason? 1t may be stated as the
general Interpretation of the law that
the real estate of the grange. such as
halls. barns, etc. in case the grange
disbands should be sold at public auc-
ton or at private sale and the proceeds
be equally divided among the members
of the grange in good standing at the
time when the grange disbands. The
personal property of the grange-as,
for instance, rituals, regalia, ETC.
whose charter has been surrendered
for any reason belongs to the national
grange until such time as It's charter
may be revived.
The state grange has no right to the
property of the subordinate grange
any further than to see that the pro-
visions of the law under which the
grange is organized or incorporated are
fully complied with.

Auto Fatally Hurts Child and
Speeds On.

Tearing through the Boulevard in Jer-
sey City last night at speed that made it
seem like one huge blur of blue, a high
power motor car whirled into nine-year-
old Antoinette Sneider of No. 1927 Boule'
ward.
The little girl was hurled about twenty
feet and landed on her head. Her skull
was fractured. Instead of stopping to
render aid to the victim, the chauffeur
of the machine jammed on even more
power and soon the car was lost to sight,
making for the New York ferries.
Antoinette was playing tag" with a
crowd of other youngsters when she was
struck. In trying to avoid being tagged
she had run into the street. There is no
hope of her recovery.-New York Sun,

The front of the auto was smashed, not

into the auto. The chauffeur struck him,

and started west, Mullen, pulling his
pistol sprinted and halted Jackson.

In an instant thousand persons were
around the auto. Phalen, painting, came
up, then Casey; pretty soon 5000 persons
were swarming around the auto. Many
men seemed ready to string the chauffeur
to lamp-post. Mullen telephoned to
