STRUCK COL. CRoFTON.
EXCITING EPISODE ON THE
EVANSTON CAMP GROUND.
Lieut.. Welsh Smashes His Supe-
rior officer and Is Placed
Under Arrest.

aCHICAGo. Aug. 26.-Col. R. E. A.
Crofton, commanding the Fifteenth
United States infantry, was struck i'll
the face yesterday morning by First
Lieut.. B. G. Welsh, of Company E.
Fifteenth regiment. Col. Crofton was
engaged changing guard mount. The
attack of Lieut.. Welsh, it is said, was
entirely unprovoked on the part of Col.
Crofton. Welsh was placed under arrest
and will be tried before court martial.
The, affair created a great sensation
throughout army Headquarters on the
prairie west of Evanston. where the
assault took place. At 9 o'clock in the
morning, Col. Crofton was engaged i'll
performing the duties which devolve
upon him as commander of the regi-
ment, in connection with the change of
guard mount. Officers were crowded
about him receiving their orders, and
formed quite group near the conf
mander's tent. Lieut.. Welsh suddenly
approached Col. Crofton and addressed
him in low tone. The two
walked some distance apart from
the others, still conversing in
low tones. Suddenly the lieutenant
was seen to strike his superior officer a
blow full in the face with his fist. 1t
was powerful blow, and Col. CroftOn
seemed dazed by it. and was seen to
stagger, but he quickly recovered and,
with blood squirting from his nose, Or
dered Welsh under arrest, and then res
tired to his tent. Welsh was sur
rounded Immediately by several SOL
diers and was put in the guard
house, where he was closely guarded
by four soldiers. The affair was the
topic of conversation today at army
headquarters at Evanston. The men
were very reticent about speaking OF
the occurrences TO civilians. What the
conversation was that took place be-
tween Col. Crofton and Lieut.. Welsh
before the blow was struck no one
knows. 1t was noticed, however, by
those who saw the affair that the two
men were becoming somewhat excited,
and that he conversation was rapidly
becoming heated when Lieut.. Welsh
struck the blow.
The crime of aSsaulting a superior
officer in the United States army is con-
sdere6 one of the most serious Otfenses.
and the penalty is dismissal from the
ranks. Lieut.. Welsh will probably be
tried by general court martial.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 26.-Noth-
Ing has shocked this community so
much for some time as did the report
this morning, as people were going to
church, that Hugo c. Metzl, the jew
eler, had committed suicide by shoot
ing. Failing to RETURN home last night
as usual, his wife early this morning
aroused several neighbors from
their slumbers, and asked them
TO search for him, as she feared
he had met with something
unusual. Inquiry was made at different
hotels, but nothing could be learned.
Officer Becker and an intimate friend
about Z O'Clock visited his place Of bust
ness, and discovered his liteless body in
the basement of his store with bullet
hole in his left temple and another one
just below his heart. Evidently the
first, but, missing his aim, placed
the weapon against his head and
killed himself. A thirty-eight caIiber
revolver With two empty barrels told
the rest of the tragic story.
For some time Metzl has met with
different business reverses through un-
fortunate specuIations, and this
undoubtedly weighed so heavily
upon his mind that he lost his reason.
Tpon an envelope found on his person
was the following:
Aug. % 1891 have lost nearly everything
and this is my last step. II. c. METZL.
Until recently he was considered one
of the most public-spirited and enter
prising citizens. and he still had enough
left TO begin over. He was a young
man, and leaves wife and one child.
He was prominent Odd Fellow, and
had $4,000 life insurance in different
companies. His parents, who reside at
Milwaukee and are well-to-do Hebrews.
were notified. No inquest was deemed
necessary.

NEW YORK. Aug. Ex-senator Wal

his trip abroad he had spent much of
his time in England, France and Ger
many, the three countries most inter
ested in tine silver question. In Ger
many the feeling was almost entirely in
favor of bimetallism, but that country
would make no move until England

and Chamberlain favored bimetallism.
and thought that that system adopted
in India was not satisfactory. Glad
stone was opposed to bimetallism, and
Lord Rosebery would express no opin-
ion on the question. The senator
thought that the time was not far dis
tant when there would be all interna-
tional agreement on the subject.
