7 ARCHERS REVIVE AGE-OLD SPORT Formulate Plans for All- North Shore Club Plans for an all-north shore archery club were made Saturday evening when the Wilmette club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Groves, 1223 Wil- mette avenue. The original intention of the meeting was to effect a perma- nent organization but discussion de- veloped the idea of a larger scope for the sport. Prof. E. E. Jones of Northwestern university, who is an ardent follower of the sport in Evanston and is leading the work there, was present and ex- pressed his willingness to cooperate in the formation of the larger organiza- tion. The plan is to have the club cover all the north shore and to seek affiiliation with the Chicago Archery club. Many of the north shore archers are already members of the Chicago organization. Because so many of the local fol- lowers of bow and arrow are expecting to be away part or all of the summer, it was thought best to defer actual or- ganization until fall. Meanwhile, shoot- ing will continue at the Howard school grounds during the summer, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. "I am firmly convinced that the grand old sport is making a real come- back at the present time," commented Mr. Groves. "It has been revived oc- casionally, but never with the interest being shown right now. It is being taken up in schools and .colleges in this section and that means that an active membership will be provided for many years to come. It is a sport which has no age limits, old and young alike find- ing pleasure in it. Moreover, it is in- expensive, requiring little more than the initial outlay for an outfit. There are no expensive grounds to keep up and no high fees to pay. We are try- Ing to get in touch with everyone in- terested so as to be ready to organize in September."

Orr, 755 Grove street, Glencoe has been awarded damages of $100,000 by Judge John A. Swanson of the Circuit court, against Charles E. Hanvener, president of the Colorado- Utah Mines Holding company, certified public accountant's audit of which shows the value of their properties to be $89,900,000. Hanvener caused the arrest of Mr. Orr in'October, 1922, charging him with securing in a fraudulent manner $100,000 worth of the company's stock. Mr. Orr's attorney, Frank R. Cain, states that Mr. Orr entered into a five- year contract with the trustees of the Mine Holding company to take general charge of the financing of their prop- erties, for the building of smelters, chemical plants and steel mills. Mr. Orr was to receive $1,000 a month, $200,000 in stock, commissions and bon- us. After Mr. Orr had paved the way of an underwriting of several millions, Hanvener, believing he could finish the work alone, trumped up charges against Mr. Orr to intimidate him into can- celling his contract, says Mr. Cain. Mr. Orr was acquitted of the charges and exonerated by the court. Mrs. Minnie Crittenden of Linden avenue, has as her house guest for a fortnight, Miss Eliabeth Crittenden of Dillon, Mont.
