HONORS TO A SOLDIER
An Ovation to Maj or.General
Frank J Heron in
Dubuque, Iowa.
The Hero May Be Recognized by
PreSident.E ect McKinley's
Admin str ation.

There are not many survivors OF the war
for the preservation of the Union who at
tanned the rank of major-general for gal
liant service on the field of battle. One of
the few living heroes is Maior-General
Frank J. Heron, whose military record
makes bright page in the history Of
Iowa soldiers. 1t is said that he was the
youngest major general in the Union
army. 1t was his good fortune to COM
mand the army that fought the battle of
Prairie Grove, Ark, and there he achieved
brilliant and substantial victory. This
gallant soldier went to the front at Presi-
dent Lincoln's first call for troops. He
left his home in Dubuque, Iowa, with the
Governors Grays, which became Com
pany /, First Iowa Infantry, and gained
renown for bravery at the battle of Will
sons Creek. At the head of the First
Iowa fell the noble General Nathaniel
Lyon.
When the Ninth Iowa was organized at
Du buque Frank ]. Heron was commits
stoned Iieutenant-colonel of the regiment.
At the battle of Pea Ridge, Ark, March
6, Z and 8. 1867, where Generals Curtis,
Ashboth, Siegel, Carr. Dodge and jeff C.
Davis commanded the Union forces and
Generals Van Doren, Price. Mccullough,
Mcintosh and Rains led the Confeder-
ates, the Ninth Iowa bore a prominent
part. Colonel Heron was wounded dur
ing the hard fighting of the second day.
About the time that Heron fell General
Ben Mccullough and General Mcintosh
of the Confederate army were slain. 1t
was the fortune of war that the wounded
colonel should fall into the enemy's hands.
do ho
changed and appointed to lead the army
against the Confederate general Hlndman.
at Prairie Grove the battle which gave
the Southwest to the Union was won by
General Heron.
General Heron, now IS years of age,
recently received an ovation at Dubuque,
Iowa, his old home, which has attracted
National attention. Returning from Mex
leo, where he has interests in silver mines,
he was invited to a reunion of his COM
rades at Dubuque. All classes of people
Joined in a demonstration of welcome.
For three days his rooms at the Hotel
Julien were thronged with visitors. He
paid visits to Grand Army posts, went to
Linwood Cemetery and attended the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church with his old
friend, Senator Allison. It is mentioned
in the Dubuque papers, which gave elabo-
rate accounts of the reception, that when
General Heron and the old Governors
Grays left Dubuque in 1861 for the war not
one of the mem bers of the present Cover
nor's Grays vas born.
Iowa people reverence the men who
went to the front in 1861, and no citizen of
the State is held hi her in public esteem
than General Frank Heron. He is now
in his intellectual prime. His ability and
years of experience qualify him for public
place of high station. 1t is said that the
Iowa delegation in Congress will ask
Major Mckinley to tender to General Her
ron an appointment worthy of the hero.
A daughter of General Heron resides
in San Francisco, the wife of Judge Henry
c. Dibble.

DURRANT WILL
MAKE ANSWER
Case for Presentation to the
Supreme Court All
Made Up.
Oral Arguments Will Supple.
ment Care ully Prepared
Briefs.
Under the Stipulation Between the
Attorneys the Time for Delay
Has Expired.

Theodore Durrants attorneys will to-
morrow file their answer to Attorney
General Fitzgeralds stinging reply brief
in the Supreme Court. This is in obedi-
epce to the stipulation entered into on the
21st inst. between Attorney General Fitz-
gerald, General Dickinson and Eugene 4.
Deuprey, in which the time for Durrant's S
attorneys to act in this regard was limited
to ten days.
Notice may not have been attracted
much by the fact that on the 21st inst. the
order of submission was not set aside.
That order stands, and the stipulation
concerning the ten days prevents any fur
ther delay in getting at the final hearing
on the merits of Durrapt's appeal, conscI-
entiously and laboriously prepared by his
attorneys. through which Durrant hopes
to secure new trial.
The oral arguments of the Attorney
General and of Messrs. Dickinson and
Deuprey will follow the filing of the an
swer to the Attorney Generals brief in
behalf of the people. Therefore all that
can be said for Durrant and ali that can
be said against the appeal on the part of
the people will soon be uttered, and there
is reason to suppose that the proceedings
will be attended with much greater inter-
est than customarily characterizes pro-
CSc0AnSS III tl6 Supreme OOuTls
Some curiosity is naturally expressed
concerning the contents of the answer
which will be filed by Durrants attorneys.
Messrs. Dickinson ana Deuprey in their
brief attacked the witnesses for the people
who claim to have seen Durrant about the
church where the bodies of Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams were found.
They wound up with the assertion that
Durrant is innocent On the other hand
Attorney General Fitzgerald expressed the
opinion in his reply brief that the wit
.nesses were credible. that Durrant's alibi
was not sound, and that the circumstan-
tial evidence against Durrant pointed him
out as the guilty person.
Many appeals are brought before the
court BY prisoners condemned of murder
and several are now pending. This may
have influenced the Attorney General to
urge on the hearing of the case in which
most of the public attention is centered.
Many lawyers and others will probab bly,
listen to the final presentation of the ar.
gnment pro and con, to the Supreme
Court. Then that tribunal will take the
matter under adYisement and the life of
q Durrant may depend on the result.

AN ARTISTS VACATION.
Edward Cucuel's Return to San Fran
cisco After an Absence of Five
Years

Edward CucueI, one of the prominent
artists of the New York Herald, is visit
ing his family and friends in San Fran
cisco. He arrived here the day before
Christmas and will leave for New York in
a few days. Mr.. Cueuel studied in the
San Francisco Art School under Director
Matthews and was subsequently attached
to THE CALLS staff of artists. He went to
Paris from San Francisco and devoted four
years time abroad to the study OF art
in illustration. He illustrated for the
Partisan press before he was engaged on
the New York Herald.
In Paris Mr.. CCcuel met many Ameri-
can students, and among them quite a
number from California. Redmond
Thorndyke, Fonda, Seawell and Altman
have made marked progress. Altman's
work has received the highest recognition.
The big French painters, like Jerome,
fancy American boys, preferring them to
the English. Cas- aigne, whose work in
the Century has attracted so much notice,
was very popular IN Paris.
Mr.. Cucuel tells of many interesting in
cidents of his student life in Paris. Com
modore Harry Gillig was in Paris last year
and gave the American artists a swell
dinner, which lasted all night. Special
care was taken to rally all the Cali ornians
in the Latin Quarter, and the banquet was
one OF the events of the season. The
American students in Paris have formed
an association or club, and the institution
has attained great popularity.

Ericks on,s Hard Luck.

Edward Erickson, who recently smashed
one of the street letter-boxes, was sentenced
by District Judge Morrow to term oil one
year in prison at San Quentin. Erickson has
been in hard luck. On the day of his arrest
he asked police officer TO lock him up in Jail,
as he was wi lhout food or sheiter and had no
means to secure either. The officer answered
that he had no right to arrest man who had
not committed any offense. A little later the
man seized a cobblestone and broke open a
United States letter-box. A few minutes later
he was arrested and is likely to be clothed,
fed and housed for a long time.
