The boy had been arrested by Mr..
Hoppough for deserting from Camp
Custer, He was found at his home
where he had gone evidently because
of homesickness. The neighbors
think the young man is weak men
tally. His father says the boy is of
such a nature that he has only slept
away from home two nights in his
entire lifetime and that he never left
the home nights, but always went to
bed very early and this talk would
seem to bear out the contention Of
neighbors that Norton is not fit men,

RABBIT SUPPER
GIVEN BY MASONS
A GOOD SUCCESS
LOCAL LODGE ENTERTAINED
VISITORS AND WORKED THIRD
DEGREE MONDAY NIGHT

Local Masons were guests to a
large number of visiting brothers
Monday night at a lodge of instruc-
tion and big rabbit supper. Besides
good representations from Greenville
and Grattan lodges, who were sum-
moned to appear with Belding lodge
for instruction, a large number were
in attendance from Saranac, Ionia
Lowell, Palo and other cities.
One of the big features of the even
ing was the rabbit supper served ut
six-thirty. About two hundred Ma
sons were given a feat at the tables.
A full banquet, centering around the
rabbit meet, and providing suitable
trimmings for the rare bits, was serv-
ed. The game was cooked by Mrs.
Marguerite Wright and Robert Moore.
The animals were caught by eight
groups of rabbit hunters on Satur-
day. Each group comprised six fell
lows and were delegated to bring i'm q
specified number. When the kill
was counted fifty-eight rabbits grac-
ed the festal board.
Work nthe third degree was ex-
emplified by Belding lodge and was
put on with much credit to the mem
bers of the degree team. Grand Lee
turer Frank o. Gilbert was present
and witnessed thework. He compli-
mented the boys most profusely and
increasingly. He stated that not one
lodge in Michigan had ever given the
work better than that given Monday
evening. Mr.. Gilbert was given a
royal welcome and as usual made to
feel at home with the members. He
enjoyed the evening and asserted that
he could not say too much of Belding
lodge while on his travels through the
state.
Every Mason present proclaimed
the evening a well rounded success
and were especially appreciative OF
the game supper. At least two hun
dred and fifty Masons, in all, attend
ed.
