deep Interest taken In the dholr ly Mrs.
Feniel, an elaborate program Is scheduled
for next Sunday.
Since the regimental guard mount In the
artillery post, which did away with the In
dividual stable guard, using only the
luojntvd patrol, several articles have heen
stolen from the different stables st night.
About a month ago two saddles we.re
missed from Battery D, but nothing was
ever heard of til am. Last 8:indav, Whlie
Several men of one of the batteries Were
out In the hills, they found two govrm
ment saddles 'hidden la the . underhrush.
They reported .the matter when they re
turned to the post and a guard was 1 laced
over the saddles that night n.l the hopes
that the culprits-would move the eadiilet.
Although tha guard wss snoreted where It
could not" be seen and watched during the
entire night, no one came upon, the icmio
and the next morning , the saddles were
taken to the post, where they were turned
nvr to Battery B. to which organisation
It was found they belonged. On Wednes
day the stable guard Was put on again,
which will to a great extent do away wltn
tills thievery.
Guard mounting In the artillery post Is
watched with great interest by the mem
bers ol the different organizations, as a
great deal of rivalry exists on account of
the orderly for the commanding ofticr.
Esch battery has some good orderly buck
ets and when the orderly Is pointed out
by the officer of the, day the shouia of
glee from the battery to which fie belongs
can be heard all over the' post.' For a long
time Battery A had been unable to land
the coveted prise, but. on February 1 It
took a hunch and came out or its dope In
Rood fashion, landing orderly for eight
days In succession. The -ninth day It lost
out on account of the man using the same
gun that was iisea the day before, but It
started In the next day and has landed It
each day the remainder of the week. How
much lohger it. will last is doubtful, a

James L, Cooper, formerly a corporal of

from confinement at Topeka, Kaji., Febru

for the theft of a watch belonging to
Regiment Sergeant Major Conluss, Sixth
field artillery. When the watch was taken
Conless was squadron sergeant major f !
ine 1 mrceenwi cavalry ana cooper - vns a
clerk in his office, - At the time there were
three clerks In the office, Corporal Cham
berland and O'Mallcy of ' the Thirteenth
cavalry and Cooper. Not the least sus
picion wss attached to Cooper, for "he had
borne a flawless record In the army and
was well thought of by all his comrades.
At first Conless thought it wss a practical
Joke, and It is believed by- many that the
watch was taken for no other reason, but
Cooper, when he found that lie was. not
suspected, could not overcome the tempta
tion to keep the watch and when ht found
out that Conless was going to push the
case and would send the msn over the
rosd who committed the set, he became
afraid to return the stolen srticle. He
carried the watch on his person until the
Thirteenth passed through Leavenworth
and there disposed of It.
A negro, to whom he sold tha watch,
pawned It to a dealer In second-hand
Jewelry and the authorities were notified.
His description of the msn he got It from
tallied exactly with Cooper and he waa
arrested near Cheyenne reservation. Wyo
ming, at the time of tho I'tn Indian out
break. He was brought bark to Topeka,
where he made a complete confession.
