Grand Lodge K. of P. Meeting.

W. A. Davenport returned yesterday from Indianapolis where he had been attending the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias meeting as a representative from the local lodge. Frank J. Heller of Columbia City defeated Charles L. Pullen of Terre Haute for outer guard. A big fight was waged for this position as it is the beginning of the promotions through the higher offices, eventually leading to grand chancellor, the highest state office. The principal addresses of the session were given by Supreme Chancellor Thomas J. Carling, of Macon, Ga„ and by the past Supreme Chancellor, Walter R. Ritchey, of Findlay 0., who is the author of the Pythian ritual. Mr. Davenport will make his report to the local lodge next Tuesday evening and It is hoped to have every member present, .as It will contain some Important features that should be dear to every K. of P.
