as dead by his parents, who reside at
Heath, Ky. On May 8, young man
was killed at Kansas City, Mo, and

was Richard Hite. His father, j. w.
Hite, of Heath, went to Kansas City
and positively identified the body as
that of his son. and shipped it back to
Heath for interment Information OF

another son. He inquired about mis-

A fight is brewing in the A. 0. u. w.
grand lodge of South Dakota, which
cannot be disposed of before the next
meeting. Grand Recorder LAWN has
held his office twenty years and now
Deputy Grand Master j. II. Parrott, of
Pierpont, has become a candidate for
the place. In the past two years there
has been a decrease of / 200 in the
membership of the order in South
Dakota. The Parrott faction is inclined
to hold LAWN responsible. The parti-
zans Of Lawn, on the other hand, refer
to the many years in which the order
prospered under LAWNS services. At
the next grand lodge session one plan
or another will be adopted for the
re-adjustment of assessment rates.
Lawn has assumed to critscize the
present management Of the order in
South Dakota and to warn against
dangers unless change is made.
