LlVELY WRANGLE. ‘ A Surplus in the Treasury Causes a Dissension of Opinions. _ Another meeting of the members of ’the Twin City Wheel club was held last evening, and it was altogether a lively session. ' There were about twenty members ll present, nearly all of whom had some . thing to say. Some members of the club speak of: the meeting as a gathering of “a cer- ain clique,” who wished to dispose of v—r a surplus in the treasury of perhaps ; $18, contrary to the wishes of other 4 members. . Mr. Wilfred Bodwell is treasurer of the club, if it still exrsts, which latter point is disputed by ex-members, who : claim that a previous vote to disorgan- ize was legal. ‘ As before stated there is $18 in the : treasury of the club. Certain members ' of the club are in favor of giving the same to the hospital fund, others favor to members and -’ a “blow-out” yet 5 Others think that the money ought to ' be divided among themselves. . There was a lively interchange of -. minds on the subject, but a legal teCh- ‘ nicality as to the rights of those present in the disposal of the money, caused the matter to be .left very much in the same condition as before the meeting. Mr. Bodwell has the eighteen dollars and will keep it probably, until such time as he can with proper authority relieve himself of the amount. The club owes no bills, simply “snowed under” for lack of and was enthusiasm and brotherly feeling. ¥ Whist Clubs Meet.

In company with a newspaper report- er the chief made due investigation and found the story 10 be a hoax. The story, however, gained credence and several men armed. with pike-poles and boat-hooks walked over the ice to the point of the alleged drowning, but found no body. As near as can be learnei the story started from the fact that a tender was lying in the water along side a sailing craft, and Was mistaken for the body of a man. . The chief was not the only pers in who took .a chilly walk to find out the hoax. ‘-A ‘ CRANBllRY. Sophia and Vera, the little daughters of Charles Bouton, are ill with grip. Washington Lodge, I. O.
