VANHUFER DEAD;
WOMAN ARRESTED

and signed Mr. and Mrs. Mason and
their friends left the Office The pre-
liminary hearing was set for Tuesday,
December 1, at 1 o'clock in the after
noon.
While Mrs. Mason was at the police
station she talked freely about the af-
fair She admitted the shooting, but
says that she only shot in the direc-
tion of the men who were trying to
get in her house to scare them. She
says that she did not know that she
had shot the man until told so by
the police who called at her home
sometime after the shooting took
place She said that the foreigners in
that section of the city were very
unruly at times and that she kept the
revolver in her house for protection.
Saturday morning the police got a
report that it was man who did the
shooting although the woman admit
ted the night before that she had
fired the shot. This was readily ex-
planned when it was found that Mrs.
Mason was a well proportioned wom-
an and that when she did the shooting
she wore coat belonging to her hus-
band, which gave her the masculine
appearance. Mrs. Mason has two
small children and when her husband
worked at nights a little girl living
in the same neighborhood stayed at
their home. It was this little girl who
accompanied Mrs. Mason to the front
door that made it appear as if there
was a man and a woman there at the
time.
A brother of Vanhufer secured the
services of Attorney ]. E. Snyder and
this gentleman accompanied Chief
Smith and Detective Ryan to the scene
of the shooting and an interview was
had with the woman who fired the re-
volver.
When the news was received at the
police station that Vanhufer hand died
at Mercy hospital Chief Smith gave
directions to Miller & Blanchard to
call there for the remains and take
the body to their mOrgue. Coroner
March was absent from the city at the
time and it was decided that one ri
the justices of the peace should take
charge of the case. 1t is likely that
a pOstmOrtem will be held by Drs.
Post and SChuffel, who had charge of
the man while he was at the hospital
He was given excellent care and at
tentiOn at the hospital and everything
that could possibly be done to save
the mans life was done. It is said
that Vanhufer is about 45 years of age
and that he leaves a family in the old
country.

new RITUAL
For Fraternal Order Of Eagles After
January date For Memorial Ser
Vice Not Decided Upon.

vice Not Decided Opon'
The Fraternal Order of Eagles,
which is already considered one of the
strongest fraternal organizations In
the United States, will use an entirely
new ritual after the first day OF the
new year. This will be the first change
that has been made since the first aerie
was formed in Seattle, Wash. some
thing over 10 years ago and is said
to be a decided Improvement over the
old, which members of the order have
long admitted to be a masterpiece.
to be issued, will exceed by far that
of the first--which was the work of
men still liying-who helped to revise
and produce the new ritual.
One of the most important changes
in the ritualistic work of the order
will be found in the memorial SER
vices. The old service which was most
beautiful and impressive, has been
done away with altogether and an
entire new service takes its place. Just
what changes and improvements have
been made will not be known until
after the first of the year, as but few
of the members of the order have been
able to get an outline of the ritual
istic work. However, the public will
be enabled to witness this beautiful
work early as the memorial services
will be held sooner this year than
in the past.
Members of the local aerie are not
able to state just when the memorial
services will take place, as It will take
some time to get the ritualistic work
down to perfection.
The subordinate lodges of the order
throughout the United States are just
now putting in force amendments to
the general laws which were passed
at the grand aerie session in August.
One of the most important of these
applies to dues, which hereafter must
be paid in advance.
1t is said by those posted in the af-
fairs of the order in this city that an
effort will be made to strengthen the
membership during the winter and
that class may be formed and init
lated soon after the officers and the
degree teams have the new work COM
mitted to memory,
