aboard and asked the captain for 81 Of his pay,
whereupon he charged that he was assaulted
His face was terribly bruised and his finger
badly bitten.
Capt Chesser claimed that the deck hand
did not come to him in a gentlemanly way and
that when he refused him the deck hand be-
came boisterous. During the difficulty he
charged that Brooks assaulted him with a stick
OF wood.
During the hearing Mr.. Mullowney showed
that Chesser had had trouble with other hands
on his boat and reference was made to the
number Of cases in which captains of oyster
boats have assaulted those under them.
The jury returned verdict Of guilty and q
line Of go was imposed.

surprised and panied when they know Of the
death of Lieut.. Philip A. Bettens, jr, of the
ninth United States cavalry. His death &C.
CURED last Sunday evening at Fort Huachuca,
Arizona, whittier he had gone with the hope
that his health might improve.
Lieut.. Bettens was quartermaster Of the ninth
cavalry battalion, which served at Pine Ridge
during the campaign Of 189O-91 and it was
then that he caught the cold which eventually
developed into rapid consumption aud caused
his death. Personally he was Q most loyable
man, possessing the respect and affection of
every one who knew him. The services rem
dered by him in the last Sioux campaign were
meritorious his efficiency Is q quartermaster
gaining for him high encomiums
One march was especially noteworthy. Late
on the evening OF December s. 1880, orders were
issued to break camp At 10 o'clock the next
morning Lieut.. Bettens had his wagon train
thirty six-mule wagons-at Harvey Springs. q
distance of nearly sixty miles from the starting
point. Such q march in such o country was by
no means an ordinary achievement Lieut..
Bettens was born in Indiana, graduated
from the Military Academy in 1885,
and served continuously with his
regiment until his failing health compelled
him to leave Fort Robinson, Nebraska, for the
more soothing climate Of southern Arizona.
He was an officer Of X troop, now stationed at
Fort Myer, but he was not ordered here. His
wife-the only daughter Of Maj Thos Is.
Devices, late Of the ninth cavalry-sur wives
