SQUAWS TO FORM LOCAL AUXILIARY

Sixty-Six Sign Up to Become Charter Members of Pocahontas Tent I to Be Located Here. The meeting of the Red Men and their wives and daughters and friends at their hall Monday evening proved a very successful one in inspiring the institution of an auxiliary order, the Tribe of Pocahontas, and sixty-six signed the application for a charter and the new order will be instituted on the evening of May 17th, and a latter announcement will be made about the organization plans. Mrs. Lizzie Arbuckle, of Kokomo, who is at the head of the order in the state, addressed the two hundred or more who gathered at the hall and interested a large number in the auxiliary work. Roy W. Emig, of Columbus, the Great Sachem of Indiana, was also present and spoke about the order. Mr. Emig went from here to Logansport, where he will prove the charitable work of the lodge by disbursing a large amount of money to flood sufferers. The Red Men began collecting money for the flood sufferers among their members as soon as the conditions in the flooded districts became known and they met ready response. Red Men from California sent a total of $1,410 to and this was augmented in many ways. It was decided to authorize lodges in the stricken districts to submit the names of all members who had lost extensively and to give them orders for $25 worth ’of furniture, clothing, drygoods, etc. Up to Monday evening 279 applications were on file. To give each $25 will cost about $7,000 and that is a little more than has been collected, but Mr. Emig says that members will come across if more is needed. He Will go about and take up the orders, paying the cash.
