LINCOLN , July 14. ( Special to The Beo. )
The continuation of the Investlg-itlon Into
the charges made ngalnst the management
of the Lincoln asylum today developed the
fact that there are a. number of people. In
the capital who will say many things to a
reporter which they are not willing to re
peal under the fire of an examining board.
After the reporter who had written the
article had given the source of his Informa
tion the parties contributing thereto were
called , but denied that they had any per
sonal knoulcdfto of any 111 treatment of
Eugene Montgomery while at the hospital.
Ono of them , Dr Tucker , was vehement In
his denial that ho had over said a word
about the cise except on the witness stand.
Mayor Weir was the most mportant wit
ness this morning , but he could only speak
of a conversation ho had with J. A. Buck-
staff In Omaha , during which the latter made
serious charges against the Institution. Half
a dozen or more attendants vvern put on the
stand , and under the examination of the at
torney general gave a detailed description of
the treatment of patients at the hospital
and ot Eugcno Montgomery In particular ,
but none cl them knew of any harsh usage
of any Inmate at any time.
Visitors to the state fair this year are
promised an unusual attraction In the shape
of a grand spectacular entertainment similar
to the Paine productions , but on a scale
rather more elaborate. The contracts have
been signed and preliminary work Is In
progress. The Idea Is to transform a portion
of Burlington Beach Into a miniature Venice ,
with all Its historic buildings faithfully re
produced , with the Grand cinal , n number
of lagoons and other features of. the famous
city a portion of the scenery It Is proposed
to build an auditorium which will accom
modate 10,000 people , a largo portion of It
seated with orchestra choirs , to have a
stage which will furnish space for 400 par
ticipants In the pageant. The costuming of
the actors and the stage fittings are to bo
on a most elaborate scale , with u myriad of
electric lights to Illumlno a representation of
the Carnival of Venice. The state band or
some other organization of equal excellence
will furnish the music and there are to
bo any number of gorgeous processions , with
specialty performances on the stage In the
rear. It Is estimated that the production
will cost upwards ot $23,000
The Lincoln base ball team has made a
proposition to donate to the State band half
the proceeds of one of the games.

BEATRICE , July 11. ( Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) County Attorney Sabln filed with
the Board of Supervisors today a written
opinion declaring Illegal the contract entered
Into by Gage county with the George E
King Bridge company of DCS Molnes , la.
There are a number of grounds upon which
ho bases the opinion , chief of which are that
the contract was made at a time when the
tax levy for bridge purposes was exhausted
nnd that the contract for a number of
bridges was let at one time Instead of ad
vertising each letting as required by statute
The boird will rcfuso payment of amounts
due under the contract , and expensive litiga
tion will undoubtedly follow , as the sum In
volved Is about $25,000. There Is wide differ
ence ot opinion as to the final outcome of
the matter , some believing that It will result
In the saving of several thousand dollars to
the county , while others believe just as
firmly that the bridges , having been built and
accepted , will have to bo paid for In , accord
ance with the terms of tlio contract.

FREMONT , Neb. , July 11. ( Special to
The Bee. ) The gayly decorated excursion
train of the Union Pacific pioneers , on their
way to Columbus , passed Fremont at 10
o'clock this morning. There were fifteen
well loaded cars enlivened by the music of
the Union Pacific band , and during the stop
at the depot I. A. Lllllo , president of the
organization , delivered a pretty speech from
the depot platform. He said : "I want to
say to you people of Fremont that the pi
oneers have no kick on this town We
chese to go a llttlo farther out to see a little
more of this glorious sunlit valley of the
Platte. There Is none richer or fairer , no
place on God's green earth where ten hours'
work will produce more for the comfort
nnd sustenance of man that right hero In
Dodge county , and I say to 5011 , Fremont
is bound up with our people as no other
town can be , bound In an endearing bond
of friendship. Many happy thoughts rlso
up at this moment and plead for utterance ,
but I cannot speak them , sighs of regret
nnd tears of Joy choke my voice. " His
stalwart comrades bore the old pioneer to
the cars , and the train pulled out.

DECATUR , Neb. , July 15 ( Special to The

Omaha Indian , Known for his raln-miKIng
qualities , went to a prosperous farmer mmed
George Anderson , who lives three miles north
ot here , and told him If ho would glvo him
some money he would make It rain Ander
son , having about 1,000 acres ot corn planted ,
was naturally Interested , told him to go
ahead and If It rained ho could get money.
So the Indian started In anil kept up all
sorts of motions throughout the entire day ,
and that night , Mr. Anderson says , It rained
harder than ho had seen It for a long time.

NEBRASKA CITY. July 11. ( Special to
The Bee ) The home Industry movement was
given a boom In this city by the banquet
under the auspices ot the M inufacturers and
Consumers association at the opera house
last night , nml nothing else Is being talked
of today Nebraska City people are loyal
home Industry people anyway , and have been
from the time the association was founded ,
but the meeting on Friday night was an
eye-opener to the citizens generally and has
given them a better appreciation of the
work that Is being done to build up the
state's Industries and ot the Interest that Is
being taken In the movement by business
men , jobbers and professional men of the
state The local committee expected possibly
seventy-five people on the special that came
down from Omaha , but when the train rolled
In with llii men , representing the manufac
turing and jobbing Interests of the me
tropolis , the breath of the arrangement com
mittee was taken away for a moment , and
there was a hustle to enlarge the seating
accommodations at the hall.
Nebraska City has a system of splendidly
pivcd streets Nebraska paving brick being
used exclusively and the entertainment
committee was determined that the Omaha
visitors should become Impressed with the
fact To produce this Impression a march
In double column through the principal
thoroughfares was decided upon , and the
representatives of the buslnens Interests of
Omaha were kept upon parade and exhibi
tion for some time , marching to the music
of a most Industrious and conscientious
band that appeared to bs playing against
time for n record Every man In the band
paid strict attention to the music before him
and no one of them will probably ever know
how sever il hundred meek and lowly mem
bers of the procession worked themselves
Into a perspiration trying to step fast enough
to keep up with the music and at the same
time avoid the appearance of being entries
In a sprlutlng handicap. But there wasn't
a word of protest , the marcheis probably
thinking of the placard on the wall of the
dance hall of the early days , "Don't shoot nt
the musician , he Is doing the best he can. "
After the march had be.n completed the
visitors were given a chance to get ac
quainted with the citizens "You ought to
hive been down here last night , " said a
citizen ; "It was sne of the liveliest nlijhts
wo have had hero for a long time. " Inquiry-
developed the fact that the mayor of the
city had attempted to have the Salvation
army arrested for beating drums on the
street and had aroused great excitement
Ex-Sonator Van Wyck took a hand In the
matter. Ho heard of the mayor's order , and
announced that If the members of the army
worn arrested he would ball them out and
would see that they were defended In their
rights Prominent citizens took different
sides on the question and matters grew de
cidedly Interesting. Mayor Bartlett finally
decider ! to get out of the mess as easily as
possible and withdrew the order.
Of course the big card of the meeting at
the opera house was the appearance of Sec
retary Morton as one of the speakers. Ne
braska City took no end of pride in presentIng -
Ing a real live member of the cabinet of tlie
president of the United States as one of her
citizens and he was given a most enthusias
tic reception. While Secretary Morton Is
apparently in the best of health It was re
marked by his friends that he has aged
perceptibly In the past two years. He spoke
with his accustomed vigor , but there was
lacking something of the fresh sprlghtllness
and force that usually characterizes his ad
dresses He kept pretty cleir of politics In
his talk , but could not refrain from expressIng -
Ing his views upon the money question , but
ho did It in a very clever manner. Re
ferring to what the people owe to the
manufacturers , he said In the first
place they owe them the very
best products and goods obtainable ,
nnd they demand In return the very best
money on the market. There was another
political reference that was not lost by any
means upon the audience. Judge Hayward
in his address urged the people to patronize
home manufacturers He wanted them to
take their liquid refreshments with them
when they went away , so that they would
not get full by drinking strange brand )
ot whisky and make fools of themselves.
The audience was given to understand that
If Hayward goes to congress this fall he
will take a supply of the Nebraska City
distillery product In his grip.
The audience had a lot of fun with Judge
Hayward , by the way , on another score
Ho made an excellent speech , but the ef
fect of It was somewhat rmrred by a little
accident The judge Is qulto bald Be
fore leaving Omaha Manager Peters of the
Bemls Bag factory used his thinker and
got out a lot of Nebraska made napkins
On the corners of the cloth ho had printed
"Wear 1C. & N. Pants , " "Eat Nebraska
Cereals , , " "Uio Quail Oats , " and a few
slmllir mottoes. It was a rush job and
the Ink had not dried when the banquet
commenced Judge Hay ward patted his
bare but classic dome of thought with one
ot the napkins , all unconscious of the fact
that he was putting up a bill board tn full
view of a delighted audience and furnish
ing an advertisement that would bo worth
big money to a patent medicine man. And
President Page saw the entire performance
and said never a word.
The service at the banquet was several
lengths from first-class , but no one was to
blame The promoters had worked on a
big plan , but the meeting was so much
bigger than any one had anticipated that
It was simply out of the question to properly
take care of the guests , but every one ac
cepted the situation and forgot any short
comings In the service In their congratu
lation ] upon the Immensity of the meeting
Secretary Holmes of the association de
serves much credit for his efforts to make
the meeting the success It was.

LOVELOCK , Nov. , July 14 Three men
were killed here as the result of a husband's
jealousy. Robert Logan shot and killed
Dan Lovelock and Fred Sullivan was In
turn killed by his own wife. Mrs. Logan
had applied for a divorce , and her husband
was insanely Jealous of her , threatening to
kill some of her male fnend . A few days
ago Mrs. Logan went to Cottonwood to visit
her mother. Logan followed , and that
night attacked nnd severely wounded Dan
Lovelock , the stage driver. Lovelock was
unable to return , so Mrs. Logan brought
the stage back On Wednesday she re
turned to Cottonwood to bring Lovelock
home. Mrs. Logan drove with the wounded
man on the seat beside her. Fred Sulll
van , a stranger , rode on a rear seat.
Abou dusk Logan rode up on honeback.
He was armtd with a Winchester and or
dered his wife to leave the stage and go
with him. She refused , saying she was
going home. Logan then said ho would go ,
too , nnd rode on behind. They rode on for
two hours , when Mrs Login heard a shot ,
and turning , saw Sullivan fall dead with a
bullet through his heart. He had been
shot In the back by Logan. Then the mur
derer shot LovelocU. who was too weak to
defend himself , and he fell dead In Mrs.
Logan's lap.
Logan then got In the stage and taking
the reins from his wife drove to a well five
miles distant , Into which he said ho In
tended to throw the bodies of the murdered
men , after which he would kill his wife
However , she persuaded him to water the
horses first , and a > Logan stooped to se
cure a biicl et from under the stage Mrs
Logan took a pistol from Lovelock's pocket ,
and when ho arose she shot him. He
bogged for mercy but taking careful aim she
fired again , and Logan fell behind the stage
Mrs Logan dismounted and fired one more
shot Into her husband's pro trate form to
make sure he was dead. Leaving Logan's
body lying In the dust , the plucky woman
drove Into town with the other dead men
and told the news. Lovelock was stage
proprietor and driver , and though well ac
quainted with Mrs Logan had never been
suspected of Intimacy with her. Sullivan
was an entire stranger. The people here
donouncn Logan as a coward , and com
mend Mrs. Logan'j courage.

WASHINGTON , July 14. The tariff con-
Xorcnco has now advanced to such a stage
that It Is Impossible longer for the con
ferees to keep the main features ot their
work from their congressional associates.
Much that 1ms been definitely acompllshcd
has reached senators and members , not on
the committee , not In the form of rumors
and reports , but as accomplished facts. As
thus considered , the chief features on which
the conferees have tome together are as fol
lows.
Pottery rates , Increased 5 per cent , making
the rates those of the house Instead of the
senate amendments , the senate having re
duced them.
Glassware comes do-vn to the house rates ,
the action In this case being the reverse of
that on pottery.
Cotton schedule has been scaled down about
5 per cent from the senate rates.
Woolen schedule IMS also been brought
down a considerable per cent , making It
moru In accordance with the house rules.
Tobacco schedule has been brought back to
the house rate on the Important Items of
wrappers , the rate being (1 Instead ot the
senate rates of $1 CO and $2 25.
The metal schedule has not been ma
terially changed from the rates fixed by the
senate.
Neither cotton nor coal has been cirrled
back to the free list as In the house bill ,
and , while the decision is not final , there
Is every reason to believe that the senate
rate of 40 cents per ton on each will stand
Tha Income tax has not yet been passed
on , but there Is little disagreement except
on the one item of limiting the tax to ( he
5oars and the conferees have not jet come
together.
The Issue between ad valorem and specific
rates thus far has not resulted in as much
of a return to the house ad valorem rates
as was expected , as It has been found that
In some cases the ad valorem rates were
greatly In excess of the specific.
The whisky schedule has been a source
of a determined contest for two dajs , the
main effort being to secure a compromise
on the basis of $1 per gallon nnd an exten
sion of the bonding period to flvo jears
This Is resisted on the ground that white
It Is an apparent increase of 10 cents in the
tax It will In fact give the government no
additional revenue.
It Is quite definitely settled that lead ore
Is to remain at three-fourths of a cent per
pound as fixed by the house.
The conferees are willing to grant an ex
tension of two years over the tlmo fixed
by the house bill for. the bonded period on
whisky , but the semtors are holding out
for the entire period ot eight years and for
the full 20 cents a gallon Increase In tax.

Mill Intended to Pun Ui.illj Annul Contracts
I'uynblo In Gold.
WASHINGTON , July 14 Business circles
will be Interested hi the bill which passed
the house committee on judiciary yesterday
providing that all contracts hereafter exe
cuted for the pajmerit of any sum , whether
in gold , silver or coin , may be discharged by
any money which Is by law a legal tender
for the payment of debts. The author of the
measure , Mr. Lane .at Illinois , explains that
It Is Intended to regulate the practice In
the federal courts In regard to entering Judg
ments and to preserve the stability and uni
formity ot the currency. The daw now Is
that gold and silver , certificates are legal
tender Cor the payment ot all debts , public
and private. There are some exceptions In
regard to the payment of customs dues In
treasury notes , but this do = s not apply to
judgments between private parties But for
private transactions between Individuals the
law makes both kinds of money equal , and
Mr Lane says that neither the courts nor
private Individuals have any right to annul
the law. This the federal courts have done
In holding that a judgment can be entered
in "coined dollars" for the purpose ot annull
ing the act of congress making treasury
notes a legal tender In England It was
a felony to discredit the coin of the realm.
The courts of Trance have held that parties
cannot by special contracts discriminate be
tween the bank notes of the Bank ot France
and coin money.
Several state courts passed upon the ques
tion and construed the law substantially as
It was held by the courts of Franco. It is
to the Interest of society , said Mr. Lane ,
that money should JJQ used In business , but
It Is unjust that borrowers should , In ad
dition to the risk of their business , be held
responsible for fluctuations of the currency.
When the money of the country Is loaned
under gold contracts then the money power
can Increase Its wealth by forcing gold tea
a premium and compel the debtor to paj
much m < Jro than the amount ha borrowed.
A different view of this question is taken
by the republicans of the committee , all of
whom , except Representative Brodcrlck of
Kansas , voted against the bill Representa
tive Watson of Pennsylvania says the suc
cess ot such a measure would be a menace
to the very foundation of business. Partic
ularly would It be disastrous to foreign dealIngs -
Ings and to commercial paper. Most of the
bonds of municipalities , states and corpora
tions , ho said , are payable In gold coin , and
under such a law there would bo no pate-
guard to prevent lenders of money , either
Individuals or organizations , from belnt ; paid
In a depreciated currency lie regarded it
as an outcropping of the free silver move

WASHINGTON , July 14.-By n meeting
which lasUd nil day the house committee on
Pacific railroads was able to finish today the
problem which has cngiged It throughout the
session , and to reach a practical agreement
on a plan for the settlement of the debts of
the Central and thn Union Pacific. The bill
which will be reported to the house , will be
In Its main features the one Introduced by
Chairman Rellly , with so mo Important
amendments of the second draft of It.
The time for tlio settlement of the debt to
the government Is fixed at fifty ycar , semi
annual pavments In liquidation ot It to be
made. Interest Is to be at the rate ot 3
per cent per annum The principal amend
ments agreed to today were In the direc
tion of making Ironclad the government's
hold upon the property anil Insuring It from
losing any of Its rights by the new arrange
ments , also In obliterating the provisions
for a purchasing committee ; In case the
property should change hands , the com
mittee -not deeming It best to anticipate such
a contingency According to the plan the
first mortgages , amounting to $65,000,000 ,
will be paid as they mature , clearing the
property of debts on which It Is paying C
per cent , the sinking fund now amounting
to $ IS,000,000 , will be devoted to paying
the first mortgage. The government's lien ,
which will become the first lien under the
plan , Will draw Interest at 3 per cent , the
prlnclpil being paid In graduated semi
annual payments through a period of fifty
> ean
Propositions were made during the dis
cussion to have this period reduced to forty
jears , but It was concluded that In the pres
ent condition of the roads they could not
be expected to meet such requirements. The
period of fifty years Is a reduction of one-
half of the time originally proposed In the
bill One member made a stand for gov-
eri ment ownership , taking the position held
by the California members of congress , Ma-
gulre and Geary His views did not gain
the support which they might have won If
It had seemed clear that the railways would
become paying property In the hands of the
government. Ihen had this been the pros
pect , most of the committee expressed them
selves as opposed to government ownership
on general principles Under the bill , however -
over , the government will foreclose If the
corporations fall to meet their payments
The amended bill will bo printed and sub
mitted to the committee early In the week ,
when a formal vote will bo taken.

SAN FRANCISCO , July 14 When the
steamer Lakmo came Into port this morning
from Prybyloff Island and Dutch harbor ,
Captain C. F. Gilford of the whaling bark
Abram Barker was on boird as a passenger.
Captain Glfford was picked up on May 7 ,
forty miles south of Capo Navcrln. The
crew wasr picked up by the whaling bark
Horatio. It Is a very thrilling story that
Captain Giftord tells Of the wreck.
"On the tUh of May , " said he , "we were
working through the Ice on a strong breeze.
The Horatio and the Abram IHrker were
together Naturally , In working through the
Ice the vessels encountered more or less of
It Wo did not lilt the Ice hard enough to
stave In the ship , but sometimes It was hard
to toll what the result would DO. Wo went
through several drifts of heavy Ice and were
working through the Ice all that night.
"In the morning , about 4 30 o'clock , we
started the pumps as usual and were startled
to find ton feet of water In the hold. We
took off the scuttle down tn the cabin and
tlio water was clear up to the lower decks
The provisions were under water ntid our
supply of fresh water was spoiled. We
signaled at once to the Horatio and she
came down to our assistance. Some of the
crew came aboard and we started up the
pumps to their full cipaclty. Wo pumped
till 12 30 and g lined only six inches Our
steam pump give out and the water gained
rapidly on us.
' Under the circumstances It was deemed
advisable to hold a survey , and we decided
to abandon the ship right then and there
We took our personal effects and went
aboard the Horatio. Two hoyrs after that
the vessel sank In the deep sea "
Captain Glfford further explained that the
bark had "no catch " She left this port
December 9 , the mate taking her as far
as Honolulu , where he Joined her on the 9th
of March. On the 20th of the same month
they started for the far north. The Abram
Barker was built at Fair Haven. Mass , In
1845 , and was owned by J. W. Wing of New-
Bedford.
L'ttlo was known by the captain regardIng -
Ing the operations of the Bering sea patrol
licet The British schooner Wat had been
overhauled by the Mohican and taken to
Dutch harbor. The captain reported the
catch of the whaling fleet , as far as ho
knew , as follow b"On May 19. the Orga ,

PARIS , Tex. , July 14. A dispatch received
at the United States marshal's offlco from
Clarksvlllo , Tex. , announces the killing of
three men by Deputy Marshals Joe McKee ,
D. E. Booker and L. C. E. McAfee. Two of
them are said positively to be Longvlow bank
robbers , but the marshal's office will give no
Information. Three or four days ago three
men headed for Texas from the Indian Terri
tory There were one or two women In
the party. They crossed and recrossed the
Red river , so as to tangle the trail. As their
movements were suspicious the deputy mar
shals procured a hack and followed , taking
that means of conveyance to put the parties
off their guard The men were supposed to
be making for Clarkbvllle to rob the Red
County bank. The deputy marshals came
upon them this morning In camp and at
tempted to arrest them. They made a fight
and three were Killed and the fourth was
captured None of the marshals were hurt.
The bodies were buried this morning at
Clarksvlllo. The men were killed at 8
o'clock , about three miles cast of Eagle
Town. Choctavv nation. One of the killed
was John ICoegan , alleged to have been la
the Piano bank robbery several months ego
The others are believed to be the last of the
Dalton gang , although their names have not
been disclosed. A trunk was taken which
has not been opened and which Is belloved to
contain valuable Information.

FINDING CF THE COURT MARTIAL
Not In Ilio Discretion of the Accmeit tr
I'd it on thr I.rcnlllj of the Order
111 * Only Only Was
lo Obey.
Charles 0. Ccdaraulet , private , company A ,
Second Infitiitry. has , bcrn found guilty at
dlsobcjlng his superior o 111 corn , and yester
day tlio court martial Jury returned Its % or
diet , ami tlio ncctticd was sentenced to b
conttncd at hard labor under charge of th
guard for a period of six months , nnd to
forfeit to the United States $10 per month
of his pay for tlio same period.
This Is the first tlino such n case has
arisen In the annals of tlio army , and the
decision nml llndliiK of tlio court mnrtlat
establishes a precedent for future cases of
similar nature. The case has attracted a
greit deal of attention In army and re
ligious circles.
Ccdarquist was with his company at the
Ucllcvuo rlllo range for practice. On the
morning of Sunday. June IT. ISO I. he vva
ordered by Second Lieutenant Edwin V.
llookmillcr to vngago In rllle target
practice. Cedaniulst refused on tha
grounds that his religious scruples would not
allow him tololitc the Sabbith day by dis
charging llrearniH. Hoas placed under ar
rest anil a court martial was ordered. Cedar-
qulst retained attorneys , who set up tha
claim that to vngiiRO In rlllo practice and
discharge llrcarms on Sunday \\as a viola
tion of the state lawn , and that ho could
neither bo compelled to do so nor could ha
bo punished for refusing to obey his superior
olllcers when ordered to practice on Sunday.
The decision In full , as handed down by
the court yesterday. Is as follows :
"In the foregoing case of Private Charles
O. Ccdarnulst , company A. Second Infantry ,
the defense was practically limited to Urn
contention that the order In respect of
which disobedience was charged was an un
lawful one In that (1) ( ) It enjoined a duty to b
pci formed on Sundnv In violation of orders
and regulations limiting Sunday labor In
the army to the measure of strict necessity ,
and (2) ( ) that the act required to be dnna
would have been a Eolation of section 241 of
the Criminal Cede of Nebraska
"That a commanding olllcer has a discre
tion under existing orders to require target
practice by his command on Sunday In cass
of necessity is undoubted The evidence In
this case falls to fix upon the commanding
officer of Bellevuc UlUe range , Nebraska , any
abuse of discretion In the Msuo ot
the order complained of by the accused. The
legality of that order and the obligation of
the accused to obey It when duly transmitted
to him c-innot , In the opinion of the reviewIng -
Ing authority , be questioned. It was not for
him to Judge of the necessity for the lssu
of the order. That discretion pertained to
his commanding olllcer , and once exercised ,
whether erroneously or not , It was the duty
of the accused to obey ,
"The further point repeatedly urged upon
the attention of the court , that compliance
by the accused with the order given him
would have rendered him liable to the pen
alties prescribed In section 241 of the Crim
inal Code of Nebraska , Is thought to b
equally untenable with the first. It Is con
ceded that soldiers stationed at Bellevu *
Rifle range , Nebraska , who , as Individuals ,
engage In hunting and shooting on Sunday ,
would be within the provisions of the section
referred to and liable to 1U penalties , but
after careful consideration , the reviewing au
thority Is of the opinion that the state could
not make , nor has It , by this section or any
other legislation to which his attention hat
been called , attempted to make the per
formance on Sunday of target prartlco or
any other duty pertaining to the Instruction
and discipline of the army a criminal offense
"Tho occasion Is deemed opportune for In
viting the attention of the department to th
fact that the obligations of military service
will never permit a soldier to refuse obedi
ence to an order because , In his Judgment , It
Is an unnecessary one. The justification for
an order will generally depend upon circum
stances of which ho cannot be fully advised.
His duty Is to accord all orders not pal
pably Illegal on their face a most unhesltaU
Inc obedience , and courts martial will b
uniformly upheld In the rigorous application
of this principle In the administration of
military justlcu In this dcpartmnnt.
"The sentence Is approved , but , In view of
the peculiar circumstances attending the
commission of the offense. Is mltleatod to
confinement at hard labor for two months at
the station of his company. It Is desired ,
however , that It shall bo understod that. In
view of the warning held out 1m this order ,
offenses of the character charged In this casf
will not In the future be regarded as flttlna
"nes fop the exercise of clnmcnrv.
