be out for the places.
Commander-in-Chief Mickey aiiid this aft
ernoon that he did not want to mix In the
fight of the guard, but that ho felt that
the warfare now being waged was a detri
ment to the guard and that It should be
stopped. He la seriously conrldcrltig Is
suing an order to atop It. The guard fears
thero Is only one way In which It can .lie
topped.
General Barry has violated nil military
precedent In that he has sent letters to
each of the officers of the guard asking for
their support In hla ambition to again be
elected brigadier general of the guard,
which he closes by requnrtlng an early re
ply as to the Intention of the officer. This
la paramount to an order, so It Is claim-J
by his opposition, and reading between tho
lines It means "support me or take the
consequences." It Is not unlikely that by
Monday Ooneml Culver will Issue a mani
festo which will result In Barry being
court-martialed.
In the meantime tho newspaper fight be
tween the two will net on tho guard like

The runaway seemed sorry that he had
cnused his folks worry, explaining that he
had Intended to go to St. Joseph for a short
stay with relatives. Subsequent events
show that he walked to Dawaon, eight
miles, on Thursday evening und remained
over night with friends of the family, and
It waa thla fact that helped to locate him.
He boarded a freight train and resumed
his Journey as far as Salem, The lad had
