Harlow. who ran his car over little Lot
tie Hecks in Fulton. on Friday evening,
badly mangling her so as to necessitate
the amputation OF her legs. was called
before Justice John yesterday morning
The examination was not gone into,
however News came 10 the court that
the child was near death. and that Mr..
b. s. Hecks. the father OF the little
girl was detained at home on account OF
the Illness of her mother.
The prisoner sat beside his counsel. and
appeared greatly distressed. Now and
then tear would trickle down his cheeks
Many OF his friends were in the court
room, and he had the sincere sympathy
Of all.
The case was postponed until next We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Meredith asked for bail. which was
granted. after a good deal Of argument
Justice Crutchfield stated that the child
might die at any nom INT, and he did not
like to set such a precedent. The Com
monwealths Attorney said that under the
circumstances he thought that BAH should
be granted. inasmuch as no jury would
convict the mOtoTman Of murder; that he
would take the responsibility. The amount
was fixed at $500, and Mr.. Patrick Nc

mer of 70, when, amazed at the force
and fury with which the Sioux had
fought and baffled the commands OF
Crook and Custer, Terry and Gibbon,
congress authorized the immediate en-
listment of twenty-five hundred men to
fill the gaps in the four regiments of
cavalry engaged in the campaign. No
credentials were required. EaNer for a
chance to get to the new diggings-
the Black Hills of Dakota-at the ex-
pense of Uncle Sam, swarms of toughs
were enlisted in the slums of New
York and Philadelphia and Baltimore,
and four weeks later were deserving by
the dozen, with horse and equipment
complete, as they reached the wasted
army In the field. But there was
leaven in the lump. "That young fell
ler's soldier clean through" said the
recruiting sergeant when Schramm
gave his name, age, nationality, etc.,
answering promptly SO long as the
questions were propounded in the Ger
man tongue.
Cant he speak English at alp" said
the recruiting officer, doubtfully.
''Well, what's the odds, after all, so
long as he's only going to be scalped?
Swear him in" And so, silent, OBJ
servant, patient, Schramm was shipped
westward with the first lot of victims,
turned over to the waiting officers at
the cavalry depot, was marched out to
camp and set to work grooming horse
the very evening of his arrival, and
turned out for drill the next morning,
when, barring a certain quaint habit
of throwing the left foot far out to the
front at the command march" and a
queer way of executing "abont face"
it was found that he was far better
drilled in the rudiments, at least, than
the corporal detailed as his instructor.
The carbine manual was strange to
him, but not so the saber. He handled
it like a master. He knew how to
clean and polish arms, belt buckles,
etc, in a way that the few old hands
at the post recognized at once as Tex
pert" He was besieged by German
sergeants with queries as to his past
history, but said he preferred to keep
all that to himself. Yes, he had served.
No use in denying that He had been
through certain cadet schools and en-
tered a certain regiment of hussars;
which one he wouldn't say, neither
could they find out by writing 1t was
nobody's business but his own, anyhow,

, WnaJ nave you peen making me sa 4,
anyhow? Come back here, Fallon, and
stop your laughing, too, sir! You're a
nice pair to play it on your old What
do you want, sir?"
Turning suddenly, he addressed a
ragged, tattered, hungry-loobing party
in hunting-shirt, buckskin breeches
and Shoshone leggins, standing atten-
ton before the colonel's 'shack"-he
had no tent-with a bare brown hand
raised to his rusty brown carbine in
salute
I'm ordered to report to the colonel
as the dirtiest man on guard, sir" was
the stolid answer.
For moment the commander gazed
at him in wrath, and then a light
flashed across his mental vision.
Now see what you've reduced me
to, Gray, you internal young sinner. l
sent Stein back with the orderly you
picked out, and here's the result"
"Well, sir, if dirt's what you want,
this
But il isn't, interrupted the colonel.
II want an orderly, and not a scare
crow. Now you see, do you?"
81 think do, sir Neither rag doll
nor Dutch doll, neither the clcanest
nor the dirtiest just happy medium,
one who can call names in English pre-
ferred, not so swell as to put our head
quarters TO shame, nor so shabby as to
make us blush for all Well, think
| understand you"
But here the colonel interposed with
language so forcible as to put stop
even to Gray's fun, which he would
stand, as rule, longer than anybody
else's. Meantime, the discovery having
been made that recruit Schramm was
but novice in English, whatsoever he
might be in German, that young soldier
was told by the sergeant of the guard
to go on out of this and back to your
bunkies. Sure you couldn't tell a
Sioux from a shyster unless he shot
you in Dutch" which, being inter-
preted, was understood to mean that
until he had mastered the English Ian
guage he wasn't fit for sentry duty.
And so, much troubled, the young fell
low went to Sergt. Schultz, Prussian
like himself, and sorrowfully told his
tale.
Never in his life had Private
Schramm's blue eyes gazed on scenes
and soldiers such as these. just what
he expected to find In the ranks of the
American army he had revealed as yet
to no one. 1t was the eventful sum-

from Cleveland to Saginaw, but Ii took
all he could command to keep up the
style in which they lived now. A gay
winter was coming on, and there was
very little interest and less discussion
among the three over the question
which should succor Carrie. and so poor
bDrgan's humble appeal was fruitless.
II was December when she was laid
away. In February a strong column
was sent to break up the Sioux strong
holds to the north, with the unusual
result of breaking up several house
holds at the fort. The Sioux lost moth
ing they did not get back; the soldiers
got back nothing they lost; in fact,
many of them did not get back at all.
The savage chiefs held council to set
tie ON the spot for the next battle, and
the soldiers a court to settle on the
spot the responsibility for the last,
which was failure. 1t was found that
beyond certain serious casualties the
damages were mainly at the hands of
Jack Frost to the feet and fingers of
the foemen, tho I'll several officers
were declared to have suffered in mind,
body. and estate, and others in reputa-
ton. which was odd. in view Of the
fact, as shown before the court. that
the accused had no reputation to lose.
Morgan. happily, was spared all partic-
ipation in this hapless campaign, be-
ing retained at the fort because Of re-
cent hcreavements and his motherless
children. He was made commissary to
help him out of trouble, and thereby,
was plunged into worse When the
command went out in midwinter he
would have been glad to go and never
return, but, as has been said, for those
little faces at home. Another column
was sent out in May, and others fol-
lowed that in June, and still Morgan
was held at the fort on commissary
duty until later the direful tidings
flashed in over the wires that Custer
and his pet troops were wiped out; then
everybody had to go. Morgan strained
