to keep cool and not lose his temper In one

AN Explanation NEEDE3.-Mr. John 70
syth, Of the Waterfowl Rilemen. was somewhat
surprised last Friday upon the receipt of an
official communication from Madison, to the
effect that he had been removed from the office
Of Second Lieutenant in that company, and
L, H. D. Crane, Of Ripon, appointed in his
place. As he had not been notified that charges
of any kind had been preferred against him.
and furthermore knew of no good reason why
he should be so summarily decIpitated, he
had right to feel not only astonished. but ag-
grieved and insulted. 1t is pretty strongly in
timated that another official in the company,
was instrumental in procuring Forsyth's remov-
al, and in arder to bring it about resOrted to
rather dishonorable mems We are not par
ticularly posted in the case but simply state
the rumor prevalent upon the street. Forsyth,
we believe, has gone to Madison, to investigate
the matter.
