Il am not here to buy out the
brotherhood, but to eXterminate it. AS
nearly as l have found out, the coun-
terfeit organization was organized
some six months ago at Walla Walla
where the first nest was instituted.
The town was flooded with our litera-
ture and the statement given out that

"The institution of Owls nests in the
west has never before been attempted
te farthest west being in Kansas
Since this bogus order has sprung uI
here. we deemed it necessary to come
here.
Another thing that l have found
out here is that the brotherhood has
stolen the name of the Samaritans
This it has applied to the ladies' aux
iliary. So far as 1 know, but one aux
iliary was instituted, that being a,
Walla Walla. and that has since sur
rendered it's charter. The Samaritans,
that is, the real SamaritanS, wers
started years ago by the late Harry
Chester of Indiana. The organization
was in no way an auxiliary to the
brotherhood and was started years be-
fore the brotherhood was thought of.
The Order of Owls was started three
and a half years ago in South Bend
Ind, where the supreme nest now -
and has a membership of 10000. 1t Is
a benefit organization whose aim is 70

Notice-On good authority it may be
stated Mitchell tells an untruth IN
