d iv's slut was out of the. way and In place
of It there vvas a Very Hunt run of cattle ,
only forty-nine loads so that with llpht receipts -
ceipts nnd fair weather the Mlu.itlon was
much more fivorable to sellers.
licet steers of all kinds were more active
and the Hunt offcilngs wcic pretty muca all
taken eaily , pi Ices showing an advance of
31/lOe over jcstcrtlay. The blljers seumeel
to want the cattle this inornliiK nd thej
bought stuff that thcv would not look at
jesterday. The cornfed cattle were not
\erv extra the most of those on sale beliiR
good enough to brln only JlOOfilSI.
Cows and helfois told at steady pi Ices ,
the six to seven loads hero being boon
cleaned up. . ,
Only a few stockers and feeders were
offered on the market , but what there were
sold readily nml.Tullv as lilsli as any time

dirt not ride a bicjcle and , of course , did not
enjo > the daily spectacle of Mrs , . O'iiriui
and Lieutenant Uamfoi-d spinning out of the
fort on their \\hccls. A month 01 so ago
the O'Criciis , ignorant of all the gotip , Is
sued ln\Italians for a gciman. Several re
grets , were received from the \\\cs of the
officers and this wab enough to excite cus-
plclon. Captain Komcyn , it appears , had
dicpped the spark li.to this maga/lne of
bcamlalous talk b > repeating to Stephen Den
nett of Atlanta some of the suspicions that
had been bandied about. One evening after
dress parade Lieutenant O'llrien Flopped up
lo Capfaln Homejn on the parade ground and
demanded an explanation , sajing plainly that
Komeyn had not acted llio part of a gen
tleman. Instead of giving any explanation
Captain Komeyn struck the lieutenant a blow
on the face The story was then discussed
publlcR and the court-mai tlal vvas ordoroJ.
Miss Nina Homeyn , daughter of Captain
Homeyn , has asserted ttat .jiuutenant Ham-
ford was engaged to marry her , but this
statement Hamtord denied when on the wit
ness stand.
Lieutenant n-imford is well known In.
pmaha , having served with the Second in-
'anlry at Kort Omaha for n number of yearc
He enlisted in the Second leglment July H ,
891 , and served in the ranks until November
3 , IS'iS , when he was commissioned a second
leutcnant and ordeied to the Fifth Infantry.
Lieutenant Uamford went through the
Trades of private , corporal , sergeant and bcr-
; eaut major rapidly and stood ; the rxamlna-
: lon at Port Loavcnworth for , a commission.
During the time he was a corporal and ncr-
; eant III company R ot the Second Infantiy
10 vvas captain of the Omaha Guards , and
under his instruction the guards advanced
rapidly In the manual. Ho was a. good sol-
ller and vvas well thought of bj lil.s supo lor
olfloers at Kort Omaha , several of whom as
sisted him malerl.illy during his Ktudlcs and
when pit paring to take the examination for
a commission.
Lieutenant Bamford accepted his commis
sion on November 4 , 180.1. and Immediately
resigned as captain of the Omaha Guards
and prepared to move south to join his rugi-
nent.
Lieutenant O'Drien vvas an officer In the
Second infantry at the same time Lieutenant
jamford vvas a non-commlsslone I officer In
ho same regiment. O'Hrlcn graduated from
ho West Point Military academy In 1SS1 nnd
served for a HPJO with the Thirteenth In-
antry. In January , 1SD2 , ho was promoted
0 11 ret lliutunant and ordered to Die RLC-
inil Infanlrj for duty A hhort time aftiT-
vard howas transferred to the Fifth Infan-
