ACCIDENTAL DeATH.-Ayonng scldiern
at Fort Smelling named Charles Roos came TO
his death three or four days ago in the follow
ing manner:
He joined the army about two weeks ago
and was mustered into the Third Regiment as
a drummer. Some of the older soldiers said
they were going to initiate him. and tossed him
in a blanket. He tried to get out of the blank
ct, and finally succeeded, by hard struggling
He seemed well and cheerful afterwards, but
the same night was taken ill, grew delirious
and next morning spit blood. He died soon
after. ~
1t is supposed that in struggling he injured
himself internally, somehow. The whole thing
was result of the playfulness and pranks of
the soldiers, and no one in particular seems to
be to blame for the accident, for such it un-
doubleday was. But such pranks should be
prohibited.
Roos was Swele boy, about 16 years of age.
He has sister living somewhere in, the State,
and father in the Third Regiment 1t Is
thought. He used to work for e. B. Jenny,
in this city. a
