THE SOLDIER !BoY.
One Way of Getting Young Man Out of
Uncle Sans Army.

Deputy United States Marshal Burton
Smith went to Augusta yesterday to
serve writ of habeas corpus in an in
teresting and rather novel case. On the
sth of Hast November, young man
named George A. Wagenen enlisted at
the Kennebec arsenal at Augusta as a
second class private of ordnance, under
the name of George A. Wagner The
enlistment was made by Major John r.
McGulness, the recruiting officer, for
three years.
The mother of young Wagenen is Mrs.
Mary c. Purcell of Augusta, and she
now comes forward to get the young
man out of the bonds with which he has
entangled himself. Through F. w.
Whitehouse of Augusta, her attorney,
Mrs. Purcell petitioned Judge Webb to
issue writ of habeas corpus which
might bring her son and the recruiting
officer before the court, where it might
be determined whether the young man
was under age when he enlisted. Mrs.
Purcell alleges that he was born on the
goth of August, 1874, in Bowdoinham.
Mr.. Smith went to Augusta yesterday
and brought young Wagenen from the
arsenal, where he is serving, and will
produce him in the United States Court
Monday, when the case will be heard.

A TRAMP'S JOURNEY.
1t Came Near Ending in Death in the
Storm In This City.

In the worst of the storm of Thurs
day night, tramp, young fellow Of
about 20, had thrilling experience he
will be likely to remember. He boarded
Grand Trunk freight train at Danville
Junction, holding on between the cars.
The storm was thick along the Grand
Trunk, and the wind was very high,
making it mostimpossible for him to
keep his grip. When the train struck
the East Deering end of the railroad
bridge. he felt his strength giving way
and knew that he Unjust drop off," This
he succeeded in doing in safety, but
hardly more than cleared the track. A.
this time the storm was at its worst,
and after he felt, rather than saw the
train pass, he began to creep over the
bridge, making but slight Roadway. At
the draw section of the bridge, he was in
position of considerable danger under
the circumstances, having to pass over
wet and slippery timbers, with nothing
to catch at had he slipped. After pass
ing the draw, he foound he could do no
more, and fell in the very pathway of
the next freight special, then almost
due. He was rescued by the draw tend
ers, who took him to their s'house, y
warmed him, and gave him their lunch.
The boy was almost starved, as well as
chilled. He wore very thin suit of
summer clothes, no overcoat, and shoes
that let in the water with every step.
