MOOSE HOME FOR
TINE AGED May
Be LOCATED
IN LAKELAND

John H. Risbeck, citizen OF Lake
land and national director of the
Loyal Order of Moose, announced to.
day that he has decided to recon-.
mend to the Supreme Council of that
Order the location in Lakeland OF
their home for the aged which if 1t
goes thrugh will bring a substantial
investment to the town and another
institution for the city.
For several years the Loyal Order
of Moose have been casting around
for place to locate a home for the
aged members of their order. When
they located their educational voca-
tional institute at Mooseheart few
years ago it was thought that the
problem had been solved and several
old people who had passed the meri-
dian of life took up their abode
there. The plan there was to have
been to provide each old couple
with cottage where they could
have their own little kitchen garden
where the old man would find con-
genial employment for his time,
flower garden where grandma could
have her flowers just as she used to
do back home. The old idea of Sc
gregating couples in the last few
years of their life is what gave the
inspiration for that poem "Over the
Hills to the Poor House." A couple
who have utilized their friends. and
who have outlived their friends and
been SO considerate Of the wants Of
Others that they have not laid aside
sufficient to look after their small
wants in their declining years have
certainly grown So closely together
that separation only hastens death.
This is often seen where one of a
couple soon follows the other to tn.
cemetery.
And SO the Loyal Order of Moose
nope to make the last years of their
members who find themselves when
their productive years are over un-
able to provide living with all the
comforts which will send them down
the other side of life peaceful and
comfortable.
Inc plan of using Mooseheart
where the old folks could have the
peneft of the children and their
was not found success
ful or account of the climate which
in northern Illinois is not conducive
I" the health of old couple and 50
tee problem became again an active
one and as far from solution as n
had even been.
several OF the national officials of
the order have been spending a part
oi each winter in Lakeland and it's
vicinity and last year National d.
rector Risbeck established himself in
Lakeland by purchasing a bungalow
ana grove on Lime street. During
h.
the summer, their biggest convention
was held in Pittsburg and again the
question of tho location of a home
for the old folks came up. Tho re
suit was that National Director Ris.
beck began to give the location of
Lakeland careful consideration with
the result that he now has the nee
essary options and will take the mat
ter up to the Supreme Council which
acts on such matters during tho re-
cess OF the Supreme Lodge. The |
bext session of the Supreme Council
VIII be held in one of the Eastern
cities in the latter part Of February
Mr.. Risbeck did not state the loca
lion OF the site he favored but stat.

taken action on the matter he would

ton.

NO testimony brought out at the in
quest lent any color whatever to the
theory that the death wound was in.
iiicled by some person with whom
Mr.. Minis might have had an alterca.
tlon, or who might have sought his
lie tor any reason. On the contrary
such evidence as was given indicat.
ed that the deceased while in a state
OF dependency, superinduced by
worry over financial affairs, himself
flred the shot, having first drawn his
car up on the side of much travelled
thoroughfare, thinking, no doubt. that
the almost immediate finding of his
body would prevent suspicion from
falling on any other person.
The testimony of most of the wit.
nesses examined threw very little
light on the case 1t merely con-
flrmed the story as told in Saturdays
Evening Telegram-that Mr.. Minis
had left his place of business between
twelve and one o'clock Saturday, pre-
sumably to go to lunch; that he did
not reach home, and his wife tele-
phoned at one o'clock to inquire about
him; and that few minutes there
after he was found, wounded unto
death in his car, one hand grasping
an automatic pistol, the other still on
the steering wheel
W. F. Malcolm and wife doubtless
were the first persons who passed
after the shot was fired. They saw
the car drawn up beside the road, but
suspected nothing wrong and passed
on. Carl Trammell seems to have
been next on the scene, and almost
simultaneously car driven by c. w.
Barker came up, followed in quick
succession by cars in which were Rep
resentative Reid Robson and Mr., J.
A. Woods. All of these were exam
ined by the coroner's inquest, their
testimony all agreeing on the points
of the few facts heretofore stated
DR.. H. M. Richards, who had been
hastily summoned, and who attended
the wounded man, gave important tes-
timony, inasmuch as 1t established
the fact that the bullet inferred the
right side OF the head and emerged
at the left, supporting the theory that
it had been fred by Mr.. Minis.
F. NJ Nicodemus, representing the
Commercial Credit Company of Bal
timore Bankers testified as to a heavy
Indebtedness Ms. Minis owed his con-
Germ. He stated that Mr.. Minis had
promised to make large payment
by noon today Monday, and still
heavier payment within the next ten
days. Mr.. Nicodemus further stated
that he had made the trip to Lake.
land to see Mr.. Minis and arrange for
a settlement, because of some trans
actions that were not entirely regular,
and it is doubtless owing to the crisis
in his affairs brought about by these
matters that Mr.. Minis was prompted
to the fatal deed.
Mr.. Minis was never conscious af-
ter being found Indeed, it was mar
veIous that he should have lived al
most seven hours after receiving such
an injury.
Judge Elkin, of Tampa, came up
Yesterday to look after the interests
of Mrs. Minis, who is relative. Mrs.
Minis is in deliiate health, and she
has the heartfelt sympathy Of the
whole community under this crushing
blow.

be held until Wednesday, in order to
