Biii : nnd gradual growth into Its present
shape. The article was most attractive read
ing for Its friends.
This post was visited on Thursday of last
week by Captain Torroy , who I sujnxjso , is
tha most extensive cattle owner in the state
of Wyoming. The captain Is a most agreo-
nblo gentleman , entertaining and pleasant to
meet and looks every Inch IIUo the thorough
business man that ho Is , The captain , until
a few years ago , was an ofllcor In tno United
Ktatc.s army , holding the rank of captain In
the Thlrtomith Infantry. While In tbo ser
vice ho catnn to this section of the country
under orders from General Augur , who com *
nmiuled this department and established this
post In the year 1S71 , Ho selected the slto
nnd built the post and commanded it for
iemo years. Shrewd business man that ho
Is , Captain Torroy saw a good busi
ness opening iu cattle raising ,
so ho resigned from the army
in whkhho had served long and faithfully.
Ills stay at the post was short , after which
ho went to his rauch , seventy miles north of
this place.

bimill that the arrival of this troop Is hailed
with Joy by Company F , Elchth infantry.
Now irnines of football , baseball , and no

First Scrcoant Davis , the very popular and
excellent orderly sergeant of Company F ,
Eighth infantry , very thoughtfully arranged
matters so that when the cavalry arrived
today they found n bountiful repast awaiting
them which , shortly nftor arrival , the bravo
troopers did Justice to.
At guard mounting this ovcninc two arms
of the service were represented. It was a
pleasure to see Captain Hay's Indian soldiers
watching with Interest ovorj movement of
the white troopers and wondering , I suppose ,
how long It would bo before they would
themselves become prollclont.
Lieutenant F. V. Krug , Eighth Infantry ,
arrived today fromTucoina , Wash. , where ho
has boon looking up some business Interests.

The Question Which Is Agitating the Minds
of the Pythians Just Now.
THE GRAND CHVNCELLOR RESPONSIBLE.
Alleged Flagrant Violations of Pyth
ian Law A. Violent Kupturc Immi
nent Joint Insinuation of A.
O. U. W. Oflloers.
Judging from current reports all is not as
smooth la Pythian circles as might bo , and a
storm Is imminent that bids fair to glvo
Nebraska Pythla-iism a severe slinking up.
For some tlmo past the spirit of consolid
ation has b20n gaining a strong hold among
the Pythian lodges of this city and this foci-
ing has resulted In several unions nnd a consequent -
quont decrease in the number of lodges.
These consolidations were acknowledged to
bo In the line of good management and gave
vcrv general satisfaction as long as they were
legally mado. The fraternity had been
troubled with too many minor lodges in this
city and the "survival of the llttest" was a
doctrine which gave general satisfaction. In
the cose of most of tlio lodges which were
absorbed by other and stronger lodges there
was everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Some of the lodges , however , which have
boon declared out of existence , took especial
pride In the reputation they had built up
under their original names and dinners.
Among those were Oriole lodge No. 70
and Mount Shasta lodge No. 71 , two of the
strongest lodgoi In thocity. Each wasstrong
In the number nnd character of its members
ana well equipped with the latest devices and
paraphernalia for confering the degrees of
the ordor. Each had made an enviable
reputation for itself and it Is not strauco that
tbo members of these two lodges did not look
with favor on the proposition to give up tholr
numcs and charters for tbo purpose of con-
ooUdatlng. Either would have been willing
to bavo taken In the other , but some members
of both lodges claim that the general consolid
ation was carried it into olToct with such
rapidity as to fairly take away the breath of
the members of the two ledges in question.
In this connection these disgruntled mom-
bars , charge that the crnnd chancellor has
violated some of the law * of the oruor.
In the 11 rat place it is charged that the
members of these ledges were not notified
that such a stop was to bo finally discussed
and brought to a vote nnd they Object to the
manner in which a few members favorable to
the plan were called together nnd the con
solidation olTeotod. Furthermore , the law
distinctly says that in the consolidation of
two or moro lodges ono of thorn must rotaln
Its name , number and charter while the other
delivers up Us number to tbogrand sot-rotary.
Therefore , these members claim that Triune
lodge , No. SO , ns the consolidated body is
called , is illegally constituted. In oITccta
lodgowas created , having an entirely now
name and number and Mount Shustn , Oriole
nnd Franklin lodges precipitated into it in
accordance with the plan of the grand chan
cellor.
In addition to the law above referred to it
Is claimed that another section of the law has
been openly violated , namely , the ono requir
ing that the consent of all the other lodges In
the city must bo obtained before a now lodge
is formed , It is an established fact that tills
was not complied with ,
The now lodgonow claims Pythian Juris
diction over all the members of the thrco
ledges mentioned nnd , by direction of the
grand chancellor , has scucd all of tholr
properties , rituals , seals , records , oto. , while
the grand chancellor blmsolf has solzod their
charters without their formal surrender by
the proper oQlcors.
i'lio complaining members of Oriole and
Mount Shasta lodge. * denounced the whole
transaction as a down right steal of two of
the best Pythian ledges in the state nnd ac
tion has been taken to adlusttho matter. It
is safe to say thcro will bo some interesting
developments before the matter is dropped.
