Commercial Bulletin says, that Capt. N. G. Evans.
Of the IT, 5. Army, stationed in Texas, has written
a letter explanatory of the statement which went
the rounds of the press some months since to the
effect that three deserters, arrested had been tied
TO the rear u q Wagon, with ball and chain, and
that one of them died Immediately after the train
arrived at Fort Bslknap. The man died as report
ed but the Captain thinks he was not cruelty
treated. The discipline that requires or permits
sick man to walk for miles with bail aud chain
is brutal aud Infamous, and q disgrace to the gov
