RECALLS THE ORGANIZATION OF THE
MANKATO ODD FELLOWS LODGE

eve have had many ups and downs
in our LODGE" said Mr.. B. D. Pay,
only living charter member of Man
kato Lodge No. Is, l. o. o. F., when
interviewed at his home on Second
street yesterday afternoon by a Free
FresS reporter. 1.-THE lodge life is
the same as the life of any business,
or of our own lives,-we have our
ups and downs, but the only way to
do when misfortune comes is to
brace up and keep right on as well
as we cam Mr.. Pay is venerable
gentleman of the courtly old school,
and is always courteously willing to
accommodate. He gave the reporter
a number of "reminiscences of the
early days of the lodge which he
Joined fifty years ago. The local
lodge was organized November II,
1866, by State Grand Master David
Gramila, assisted by ten or twelve
members from the St. Peter lodge.
Only one of the St. Peter men who
were present at that time is known
to be living, and that is James Clark,
who is expected over from st. Peter
to be present at the big fiftieth an
niversary celebration in the /. o. o.
F. hall tonight.
There were six charter members
of the local lodge as follows: E. B.
D. Porter, Sheldon F. Barney, Ben
jamin D. Pay, D. H. Steiner, William
Hoerr, and Peter Hoerr. After the
lodge was organized the following
officers were elected, E. B. d. Porter,
,ohJ o,,1. Do VII
grand; B. D. Pay, treasurer One
man, John G. Simpson, was initiated
during one of the first meetings, and
after he had received the degrees of
the order he was promptly elected
secretary. Appointive officers were
filled by G.. H. Steiner, conductor;
William Hoerr, warden; Peter Hoerr,
inside guard. Thus every member of
the lodge held an office. Applications
for membership began coming in,
and the lodge continued to grow I'M
til it is now in very flourishing and
healthy state.
Many vicissitudes were encount-
cred by the lodge in it's early days.
The first meetings were held in the
historic old building known as Hag-
ems hall, which was situated below
Kron's store, and about opposite to
the monument to the thirty eight
Sioux Indians who were hanged.
Meetings were held on the second
floor of this building for several
years, but after the Barr building,
adjacent to the Williams building on
Front street, was erected the lodge
moved their meeting place to this
hall. where they continued to meet
until their I. O. o. F. building was
erected upon the site now occupied
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1916-11-24

by the present handsome large l. O.
o. F. structure The first building
was built of brick and was three
stories high. 1t took several years
before the debt on this building was
all paid, and the lodge congratulated
itself upon its prosperity, and de-
cided to drop thousand dollars of
the insurance carried on the build
ing. Shortly after this was done the
building burned down, and the re-
naming insurance did not cover the
great loss. Later the present build
ing was erected, and is one of the
handsomest lodge buildings to be
found anywhere. The l. o. o. F. has
always been live organization,
enthusiastic for public improvements
and aiding worthy projects in every
way in it's power Officers of the
local lodge laid the corner stone for
the Mankato normal school, and al
so laid the corner stones of both the
old and new /. o. o. F. buildings
The lodge has contributed to many
improvements Of mankato, and do
mated $500 toward the purchase of
the postoffice site.
Tonight, November II, being the
fiftieth anniversary of the organiza-
ton of the local lodge splendid
program has been arranged, which
has been published previously in The
Free Press. The affair is for Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs, and following
the entertainment program social
dancing party will be held

Two men CLAIMING
TO Be OFFICERS
From THURSDAYS Caliy
See here: we are officer

See here; we are officers
Such were the words with which two

dark late last evening near the

by the latter at the police station.
The man said the thieves mace away
with $40.70
Fred Welsh and said that he is home
at Madison, S. D., but he had been
employed by the Commonwealth
Power company at Blue Earth. He
came to Mankato to do some similar
labor here. He went into a saloon
last night and got himself one drink.
He took out his pocket-book to pay
for it. He said he was perfectly So
Der when he went out of the saloon
at eleven o'clock.
Inquired For Room.
When he got out on the sidewalk,
he inquired among the bystanders
where he could get room for the
night Two men who had been in the
saloon volunteered the Information
that he could get room if he walk
ed towards the court house, and
made inquiry as they directed. He
took their advice and went that way.
He had gotten near the west door
of the court house, when two men,
the same, he though, as gave him the
advice, grabbed him said they were
officers and searched him. One Of
them knew just where his pocket
book was, and took that with all the
money. The men then ordered him
out of town. They told him to walk
ahead and not dare to look back. He
did so and they followed him for a
time. Then they suddenly disap-
peared.
The police have been working on
the case. The complaining stranger
said one of the men was short and
aged about ninteen and the other was
tall and aged about thirty.

PAID FOR GRAVEL HAUL
Several New Members Secured
For the Business Mems
Association
from Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
The Commercial and Automobile
clubs yesterday made good theil
complete the grading of the Garden
City road this fall. so as to have the
entire road graded at once. The con-
tractor, William H. Duffey, having
done all that he could do this fall,
presented an estimate of $S71.05, and
the two clubs loaned him the amount
without interest until the county
board is in condition to pay the es-
innate. which will be early next year.
Mr.. Duffey yesterday moved his
teams and rigs to Springfield, where
he has a contract to haul tile. He
will complete the grading of the Gar
den City road as soon as the ground
is in condition next spring or early
summer.
The two clubs also yesterday paid
for the 373 loads of gravel that have
been hauled on the st. Peter road in
this county this fall, having agreed
to furnish the gravel, which it Sc
cured at ten cents load from H. w.
Clapp's pit. An extra good grade of
road gravel was secured.
The Commercial club membership
committee was out yesterday after
noon and signed up six new mem
bers. Others seen expect to come in
before the next meeting.
Owing to the fact that speakers
that it had sought to secure cannot
come at this time, the date for the
next meeting of the club has had to
be changed Announcement of the
time of holding the. meeting will be
made shortly.
A representative of the Automobile
Blue Book Publishing company was
in the city yesterday. He is checking
up routes in this vicinity and logging
some new routes, among them the
Daniel Boone and NJ. w. A. trails.
He says that automobile touring is
just in it's infancy, and that towns
that reach out for it and have at
fractions to offer will profit greatly.
The company has set 100000 copies
in 1918 as it's goal.
Mankato people ought to send out
lot of the illustrated booklets OF
Mankato during the holiday season,
to help boost the city. They can be
had at the principal drug and book
stores, and also at the Commercial

gift. Those wishing them in lots can
get them at the Commercial club Of
