THE FRATERNITY COMPANY
Nearly Five Hundred Dollars Paid on
Debt of Opera House

The annual business meeting and
election of officers of the Fraternity
Company, better known as the Grand
Opera House Co, was held Saturday
night. Quite large portion of the
stockholders were present in person
manifesting an encouraging interest
in the affairs Of the company.
The annual addresses of the presi-
dent, M. G. Carlisle, was we'll received
as were the reports of the secretary,
treasurer and manager. These reports
bore conclusive evidence that the bus
mess of the company had been very
satisfactorily handled, that the Off
cials would be glad to have anyone
make as full and careful an examina-
as this was not considered necessary
we believe we are safe in speaking
words of commendation for their I'M
firing efforts in behalf of the company
and that they deserve the thanks of
every stockholder. Many questions
were asked the different officers as to
the method of handling the funds, aud
iting the accounts, etc, and those
questions were promptly and intelli-
gently answered. When the ground
had been thoroughly gone over the
election of officers was taken up.
The motion prevailed that the en-
tire board with the exception of J. p.
Corbin, be reelected for the ensuing
year. The name of c. d. Kendall be-
ing substituted for that Of Mr.. COrbin.
f. n. Laird stated that ,nasmuch as
he might be absent from the city a
great deal of the time this summer he
would withdraw his name. To fill the
vacancy the name of J. p. Olson was
substituted, though the company GER
tainly appreciates the good work done
by Mr.. Laird, who from the very start
has worked along with the other men,
bers of the board earnestly trying to
bring about the best results. There
being no further nominations the rules
were suspended and the secretary was
by unanimous vote, instructed to cast
the ballot of the company for the elec-
tion Of the following named gentlemen
as members of the board of directors
for the present year: M. G. Carlisle,
f. C. Olson, S. Fl. Goodfellow, C. d.
Kendall, II. l.. Walker, c. e. Bullen,
and J. p. Olson. The meeting then
adjourned

COLLEGE CLASSES CLASH
Class Spirit Fermented and Run Over
Last Tuesday

There was a warm class scrap at the
college Tuesday morning between the
Seniors and Juniors, which resulted in
victory for the Juniors. For some
time Frank Locke and Edwin Griffith
have made themselves Objectionable
to the Juniors, with the result that
Tuesday morning about seven o'clock
a bunch of the latter class captured
Griffith and tied him up in the com.
mandants office in the armory. They
were unable to get Locke, but instead
fixed up a dummy to represent him
and at morning chapel Griffith and the
dummy were brought in triumphantly
and deposited on the rostrum in front
of the faculty. After chapel the two
classes mixed freely, which resulted
in number of minor injuries After
these little festivities the Juniors, sol.
emnly marched out Oh lie campus and
buried the dummy with all the custom
ary honors.

on the democratic ticket which gave
The Recorder greater pleasure than
that of 5. \. Ban. The sheriir's of
lice Is one OF the most IMPORTANT of.
fees in the county, and We heartily
approved Of bis nomination because
II is known that he viii enforce the

ways safe to judge the future by the
past. AS deputy sheriff for the past
Two years nc has ably assisted SherifI
Mulkey In this duty. To greater
extent than In any history Of the
past the law has been enforced In the
past two years. They have useu
every effort 10 enforce the gambling
law, the sunday closing law, aud
have been generally successful, and
this In face Of the fact that some.
who should be MS much In favor OF
law enforcement as the sheriff 5 ono,
