Supreme Chancellor
Knights of Pythids
Visits in Kingndn

Richard S. Witte, supreme chancel-
lor, Knights of Pythias, who is visit
ing his niece, Mrs. J. F. Davidson and
family, paid an unofficial visit to
Western Lodge No. II Tuesday night.
The members of the Oatman lodge of
Knights of Pythias and the members
of the Pythian Sisters Of Kingman
and Oatman were invited as well as
some local non-1nembers of the lodge,
the. evening being given over to a
talk by the supreme chancellor and
other entertainment features.
Needless to say the visit of the SUI
preme chancellor was much appreci-
ated as visit of this kind from a
supreme officer to any lodge is rather
an unusual honor. His talk was much
appreciated.
To remember the membership of
the four Mohave county lodges Su-
preme Chancellor Witte will take
away with him gold nugget chain
made entirely from gold mined in
Mohave county.
The supreme chancellor is now on a
trip which will cover visits to the
lodges at Prescott, Phoenix, Tucson
and possibly Bisbee. He will later re-
turn to Kingman where he will join
Mrs. Witte and his nephew, "Bud"
johnson, a brother Of Mrs. Davidson,
who made the trip here with him as a
complete surprise to his sister
Kingman Miner.

ELk Herd NOIU In
W0lL0pGis Home

Monday morning a number of the
members of the Mohave County Game
Protective association hied themselves
out east of town TO escort the herd of
elk recently brought in TO their new
stamping grounds in the Wallapais.
The elk were driven, in a drizzling
rain, up past Jess Martins place, all
excepting one which escaped early
and started toward the Peacocks. This
elk, 1t is thought later joined the herd
as Game Warden Tatum says he saw
track yesterday of a single elk trail
ing the main herd. Tatum says the
elk are moving toward the summit and
are now about two and one-half miles
this side of the Potato Patch. They
are browsing as they go, and seem to
take kindly to their new surroundings.
There are twenty-five elk in the herd,
one having been killed by the blow
from the forefoot of another elk.
In passing we feel constrained to
again mention that stray elk that
started toward the Peacocks on ac-
count of extenuating circumstances
surrounding his departure. 1t seems
this baby broke away before ne 9TH
ers had left the corral whereupon Elk
alted Ruler Stew Thompson gave the
royal command for him to desist and
return but not recognizing the au-
thority Of B. P. o. E. 468 said elk
kited off across the country and here
by lies the meat of the story. Stew
Thompson made the ride of his career
on his fleet footed nag and the elk
won and kept on going. Some say
that if Wat Thompson had been there
with Marguerite it would have been
another story.
The Pathe man who shot some good
pictures as the visitors from Wyom-
ing started their trip to the Walla-
pals, didn't get picture Of Stew
The progress Of this new herd in
the Wallapais will be watched with
much interest by sportsmen here and

newspapers were suspended.

A day without newspaper would

New York Telegram, chairman Of
the Publishers association of New
York City told the Broadway asso-

Whatever happens, the public looks

that can be paid to the truthfulness
and accuracy of the daily press, he
said

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
IMPOssIBLE!


CA naturalist suggests that in the
future balloons will be taught to make
good house-ServantS).
Though servants are scarce, and can
hardly be had
For love or persuasion of pelf,
Though know it would presently
drive me quite mad
To tidy the place up myself,
And my conscience is never serenely at
ease,
When this labor is done by my
spouse,
would rather cook meals and scrub
floors on my knees
Than to have a baboon IN the
house.
He might be highly efficient baboon,
He might be amazingly able
And life in the place might run on
like rune,
While he busted or waited on table.
But although each meal that ne
served was feast
And the salad delightfully."- dressed,
Whenever happened to glance at
the beast &U
I should always feel qualms of un-
rest.
For balloons have the strength Of a
half dozen men;
They can compass a throat with a
fist,
And when they get riled-as they do
now and then
Their wrath is too great to resist.
I should always be suffering spasns
of dread
Lest I might be a bit indiscreet-
And nv servant take umbrage at
something said,
And pitch me clear out in the
street.
I NAV have to move from the house
where I dwell
And for which my attachment is
deep,
And go to some costly and cherries
hotel,
Because servants grow harder to
keep.
But though shall mourn for the
snug little cot
Where the roses are fragrant In
June,
I shall move if 1 must, for I swear
I shall not
Be served by dog-faced baboon!
