He VIII Be Charged With Maltreating
Subordinate.

The Secretary of War has decided to order
court-martial to try Lieut.. Steele, eighth cav
airy. who preferred charges of characterization
against Private Dell Wild, causing his trial.
conviction and imprisonment. Wild, as was
stated in Saturdays STAR, was re-
leased by order Of the President
on the ground that his trial was
improperly conducted, Lieut.. Steele. his &C
cuser, being judge advocate of the court. Wild
has been confined at Fort Smelling, Neb., for
some weeks and kept at hard labor He says
that Steele struck him when he re-
fused to perform duty that he was not
obliged to perform, calling him deserter
His charges against Steele, which he preferred
to Col. Townsend at the time, were ignored
and he was tried himself instead. Steele is to be
tried upon charge of maltreatins subordi-
nate, in violation of the first article of
war, and it is just possible that
the testimony at his trial may develop state
of affairs, connected with the examination of
Wild's case, such as may lead to one or two
other trials or reprimands. At all events Col.
Townsend and Gen. Ruger, who
passed on the case on its way to
the department without calling attention
to its very evident irregularity and injustice. are
in an unenviable position and will most likely
be called upon to explain why they allowed
such gross breach OF the law to go unnoticed.

had made him an offer to lease the house for
a term Of ninety years, but Mr.. Frank Tracy
