the prisoner that he consented to accept
them. In both hands he grasped q CROSS,
which, at the conclusion of q prayer, he
kissed and returned to the priest. He was
then strapped, and was kept in this posi-

to be heard in one sentences: 'Oh, Jesus,
l love thee with all my heart" The moose

General Cosby and Col. Sountag, In
spector Generals Of the rifle practice Of the
N. G.. O., have had a consultation at Sac
ramento regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
sending o team to the interstate match at
Carson. Col. Sountag expressed the
opinion entertained by himself and Major
Klose that no team capable of coping with
the Nevada team could be selected without
the aid of the Fifth Infantry men. AS the
latter had positively refused to go, Col.
Sountag recommends that no team be
sent. This, in all probability, settles
the matter, and the Nevada team will be
allowed to carry off the trophy by default.
