Charter Has Arrived and Bemidji’s Latest Fraternal Order Will Become Reality
Enthusiasm Sworn by team Members Causes Other to Join
First Officers Selected. Stein Dictator Bemidji’s new lodge, the Moose, will be organized this evening and those who have announced their intention of joining will be initiated.
The meeting will be called to order at 7:30 by Organizer Fowler, who urges that all members will arrive on time.
The lodge will be known as number 1452. It is customary for the organizer of all new lodges of the Moose to recommend the first list of Officers. This Mr. Fowler has done and the following business men of Bemidji will probably comprise the officials.
Mr. Geo. Stein – Dictator
Scott Stewart – Secretary
Carroll Randall – Treasurer
Harley Hanson – Past Dictator; James Given – Vice Dictator; G. N. Shannon – Prelate; Reuben Miller – Sergeant-at-Arms
In order that the initiation might be carried on in a fitting manner the temporary drilling team has held one or two practices. The team as it now stands are the following: Edw. Odegard, Captain; Wm G. Giles, N. E. Given, Clyde Petrie, Fred Baumgardner, Henry Paquin, M. S. Gillette, Elias Matland, Leon Jewett, Carlin J. Kampstad, Geo. Paquin, Frank Hubert, Thos. B. Newton, Elmer Kittleson, Nathan W. Brown, Richard C. Fenton, B. E. Erickson. (Dec 3, 1913)
