TRIP TO HIGHLAND
Large Delegation of Topeka Odd Fell
lows Went Down Saturday Night.

one of the largest delegations of
odd Fellows that ever left Topeka,
completely filling two coaches and one
baggage car of the Missouri Pacific
special, went to Richland Saturday
night to administer the degrees to a
class of Richland candidates. More
than $50 Topeka members, with a
sprinkling of Odd Fellows from all
parts OF the country, were on the
! train.
The Richland lodge entertained the
Topeka people. banquet, at which
the Topeka men ate more fried chick
/ en- than they ever saw before, was
served. 1t was a genuine, old country
feast
Many of the Topeka l. o. o. Els
We're forced to ride in the baggage car,
the two coaches of the regular Mis-
souri, Pacific passenger train being un-
able to hold all of the travellers. The
Knights and Ladies of Security band
went along to furnish the music for
the occasion.
1t was dark at Richland when the
party arrived, and in the hurry of de-
training, Will Russell, grand secretary
of the order, walked off an embank-
ment into a deep, sandy ditch. He was
rescued by r. w. Eaton, former police
chief.
