The whole affair is one of deep mys-

is that the sluggers should have taken

A Former Grand Master of Knights Templar Was Alm ost Ignominiously Haled Into Court to Meet an Old Friend

Twenty five years at least was knocked off of the age of Colonel John stone yesterday when he met an old Kentucky friend. w. Larue Thomas Mir Thomas is a distinguished Mason and once occupied the position of grand master of the Knights Templar of the United States.
 Mir. Thomas is now living in Tucson and when Colonel Johnstone saw in the columns of The Republican yester- day morning that he was in the city he began to grow young again. He asked COntable James T. Murphy to call on him at the Hotel Adams and request him to come to see him. Ar irving at the hotel MT. Murphy found MT. Thomas in conversation with John M Ormsby of the Valley Bank
 Are you MT w. Larue Thomas?" asked MT. Murphy in an. official tone. at the same time consulting an address he was holding in his hand.
 That's my name," replied MT. Thomas.
 Well said MT Murphy. Judge Johnstone wants you to come to his office
 Not identifying Judge Johnstone with the Charlie JohnsNone whom he knew. he suggested that if Judge Johnstone had any business with him it was no farther from his office to the Hotel Adams. than it was from the hotel to his office.
 "But the judge is very busy in court" /" said MT. Murphy with an air of fin ality
 Who are you anyhow?" asked MT Thomas.
 I'm the constable of his court" re- piled MT. Murphy.
 What the -" said MT. Thomas, who afterWard said that be- ing conscious of having committed no offense against the laws of the state surmised that the Knights Templar were about to put something across. You'd better go' said MT. Ormshy; "I'll walk along"
