A dozen fine mules arrived yesterday
| from Missouri for use at Fort Marcy.
They are beautiful animals. All are
broken and gentle save one, and he yes
terday afternoon distinguished himself
by giving one of the corral men three
kicks, striking him twice on the hip and
once in the forehead. However, the man

action OF the grand jury and of District
Attorney Twitchell in taking measures to

grand jury and the district attorney are
working in the right direction.
