The Ofhcer Who Abused Private Wild
Before a Court NartiaI.
CHICAGO, March l9-The court-martial
for the trial of Lieut., NJ F. Steele on a
charge Of conduct tending to destroy mill
tary order and discipline assembled in this
city yesterday. The case is the one which
has caused SO much newspaper talk in which
Private Dell Wild refused to do some work
ordered by the lieutenant and was later
given severe sentence by court martial,
which sentence the president set aside Col.
james F. Wade presided, Capt Murray was
Judge advocate and Lieut.. crowder was
counsel for Lieut. Steele
wild Tells His story
The court convened at IL IN to the min.
ute, and as soon as the prelimiuaries were
completed Private Wild was called His tes-
timony was TO the effect that on Oct. ~ last
he had refused 10 assist Lieut. Steele III plac-
ing some canvas on a shed. at that officers
quarters, because rs he understood the mill
tary orders no en- isted man was required to
work for an officer. Upon refusing to help
do this work Steele became very angry,
cursed him. and struck him in the face, aud
then ordered his arrrst Steele called him a
who put him under arrest not to lose sight
or him for moment. Wild said he was
willing to carry wood and water tar the Of
ficers, but that the work required by Steele
was mental.
Declared To BE Irrelevant.
The defense attempted to prove that Wild
had regretted that he did not kill Steele,
and that Wild hal deserted from the Fiji :
tenth infantry, but the testimony was ruled
out, as Wild was not on trial. Wild himself
refused to answer these questions declaring
that that they had nothing to do with the
case, but that what he did say was that he
would rather kali Steele than strike him, as
in the former case he would have been tried
by civil court aud got justice, whereas y
can't get no justice in IA court -martial" He
admitted that Steele wanted him only Ia
help him do the objectionable work Cor
poral Scott, who arrested Wild, corrobor-
ated the prisoner 50 far as he was "A witness
TO anything, but he did not see Steele as
sauit Wild. This ended the case for the
prosecution and the court adjourned for the
day.
The Accuser and the Public.
Wild Is not a man to attract favorable
notice. He has the swagger and physiog-
nomy OF tough, and looks like denizen
OF the "leyce, in this city Nevertheless the
populace Is in sympathy with him. The
court Is open, and there were about 400 PEG
pie present yesterday, and every time Wild
gained point there was loud applause
which the court did not attempt to check.

. The Corn Palace Exhibition.

Our fellow parishioner, T. Jay Lacy,
has been appointed commissioner to
the Sioux City Corn Palace exhibition,
to represent st. Landry. The selection
is very good one, and we trustsle will
not fail to attend. We understand this
enterprise to be gotten up in the inter
est more particularly of the South. In
dications on all sides, point to an i'm
proving good understanding. among the
people Of the remote sections of our
country. This should be carefully and
auxiously attended to. On the 10Th
inst, the cars containing the Louisiana
exhibits, will leave Lake Charles and
go via the Southern Pacific Railroad.
What will old St. Landry DO in the
matter? Her vast aud varied resources
should not he unrepresented. If our
people will but arouse themselves, her
exhibit can be made to compare favor
ably with any equal area in the State.
We wish our commissioner to feel proud
of the parish, as we feel confident the
people must be satisfied with him. He
is the right man in the right place, and
it remains for the people to be up and
doing. We say to them, make selec-
tions from your productions, and thus
enable Mr.. Lacy to advertise the ad-
vantages St. Landry offers to immigra-
ton. We have almost most state in
area, and let us give it boom.
