As soon as Lieut.. Paguc was su b.

Why tine young lieutenant should
have attempted to take the life Of his

mystery, though it is known that he is
hardly responsible for his actions.
II appears that he has lately been
drinking heavily. and was yesterday
in the army hospital getting rid Of the

The affair has caused great excite

by the officer is painful, though not
