HE Is GOING BACK.
He Left the Tenth Infantry But is Sorry
He DID 1t.

A corporal and one private from Fort
1eavenworth went north last night with
a man who bore the somewhat unmusic-
al name of Rosjord, a Sweed by COM
plexion and farm laborer by occupa-
ton. Rosjcrd came over from his
rugged Fatherland two years ago and
was SO pleased with America and its
institutions that he proceeded in a few
weeks after landing to join the army
that he might defend his adopted land
from the encroachments of the Saxon,
the Frank and the Spaniard. He joined
company F of the Tenth infantry, but
while he worshiped at the shrine OF
Mars, he worshiped also at the shrine
of Baccus and OCCASIONALLY kneit be-
meath the window of blue eyed little
Swoed girl that worked in the kitchen
and laundry of the company comman-

night at the window of the little lady
his commander stood on the poarch
with his martial cloak around him.
and when he thought il was about time
TO prevent Rosjord from breaking a
square yard OF government glass he
shouted at the top Of his voice and Ros-
jord went through the air like a shot
from his own rife. Mr.. Rosjord could
hot look upon the face of his comman-
Ser again; he had not the nerve to 90
1t and so he deseted. He concluded 10

FRANK nj. SCOTT RETIREs.
After Running Bakery Eighteen Years
He Will Take a Rest.

This Is the last day Of the Santa Fe
bakery as it retires from business af-
ter twenty-four years continuous bus
mess. 1t was established in 1872 by C.
G. Ekarett but for the last eighteen
years the present proprietor, F. NJ.
Scott, as everybody knows, has held the
reins over the bakery and seen that the
people of Wichita did not have to pay
too much for first-class bakery goods;
but on account of poor health he will
have to retire for awhile. He retains
his bakery fixtures and will stay in
Wichita and may start in again. Mr..
Scott also wishes the Eagle to thank the
people of Wichita and Sedgwick county
for their appreciation of his efforts in
trying to give them honest service for
the past eighteen years for he says the
people have been loyal to return the
compliment as every resident of Sedg-
wick county and Wichita can testify.
He also desires to say that all tickets
out against the Santa Fe bakery will
be cashed at the Bon Ton bakery, 254
North Main street.

THEY WERE GETTING CNspLrCEp.
Spare Time in the District Court Occupied
by Divorce suits.

Dy divorce suits.
When there was a Iull in the proceed
ings in the murder trial in the district
court yesterday some of the attorneys
would trot in woman who desired a
divorce from her beastly husband which
would consume about three minutes Of
precious time.
Mary E. Walton said she lived in this
city and had been married nineteen
years ago and had two children. Her
husband sneaked off five year ago and
got lost. At any rate he had never re-
turned. She has ever since that time
supported herself and children. Judge
Reed is a silver man and believes in go
ing 1t alone without any reference to
foreign powers and Mary got her di-
vorce.
Alice Warden was rather a pretty
young woman who dressed in black and
wore a coquettish black hat and a cute
little vail that partly concealed only one
one-half of her face.
She told Judge Reed that she had
married her husband two years ago and
that she had lived six years in Wichita.
She concluded that her husband had
not treated her right. He would get
drunk and engage in the innocent past
time of choking her, she could not tell
how many times and the tears sparkled
in her eyes.
Mrs. Ann Scott said she was the
mother of the petitioner and she con-
firmed Alice's story and said she had
seen black marks on her neck caused
by the choking. She summed the mat
ter up by telling Judge Reed her son-in-
law was worthless fellow and then of
course the divorce was granted.
