tary Jos. Pfeifer Of .t the Woburn
Farmers Club drove to BoWbells
Tuesday afternoon, and while the
former transacted business here the
latter drove on to visit his family
whichstis spending the winter at

told The Tribune that some lying

that, the officers of the farmers club
at Woburn were doing some graft
ing in connection with I the distri-
button Of some of. the goods shipped
in by the club. and that Secretary
Pfeifer at meeting Of the club
held last Saturday made a demand
that a committee be appointed at
once to check up his books In or
der:7that his good name might be

wouldn't listen to him, but he Of
fered to resign at once unless such
a committee was appointed and the
check made. The report. of the
committee will be made at the next
meeting of the club, when it is hoped
that the accuser be present so that
he might be dealt with in the pro-2

had taken a great pride in the.

an accountant of considerable abil-::

anyone. These books are open to
