vent Verdict.

BUTCHERS ARE AT WAR
ARRESTS IN WALLA wALLA MAY
CREATE 4 SENSATION.
American Dressed Meat Company
Employees Accused of steal
ing Cattle.

Walla Walla, Wash. March PAR.
Harras, a prominent butcher, and one
of the stockholders of the American
Dressed Beef Company of this city, and
w. A. Montgomery, who was employ
ed as butcher at the company
slaughter yards, were arrested late
tonight on a charge of stealing cattle.
Both We're released In bonds of $1,000
each to appear in the justice court next
tuesday. The complaint is made by
Oliver Cornwell, who runs a small meat
market in the city. The prosecuting
attorney stated to a reporter that for
several years past members of the
American Dressed Meat Company have
been suspected of stealing cattle from
farmers and other stockmen of the
county, and although the officers have
been working on the case all the time
no direct evidence could be secured
until few days ago that they were
the guilty parties.
1t appears that last October Corn
well found two of his cattle in the yard
of the company but all the employees
denied any knowledge OF how they
came there, and released the cattle.
Today the prosecuting attorney claimed
to have secured sufficient evidence to
arrest all the members of the company
and several of their employees, and
stated that he has a strong case against
them. Warrants were also issued for
the arrest of Gus Harras president Of
the company, and Otto Eichler, who is
employed by the company as a buyer
of cattle. The arrests caused consider
able excitement and sensational de-
velopments are expected.
r. Harras stated to a reporter that
the arrests is spite work on the part of
other butchers and meat companies Of
the city, who have been trying to in
jure the business of the American
Dressed Meat Company for several
years.

A TEMPERANCE UNION SESSION
San Francisco Turned Down as the
Convention City.

Chicago, March 24.-At a meeting of
the general officers Of the National Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union to-
day it was decided not to hold the next
national convention at San Francisco,
although that city had been previously
chosen. It is believed the holding of the
next convention in or near the state of
Kansas would better conserve the tenn
perance interests, as crisis is impend-
ing in that state. The refusal of the
railroads to make such concessions as
were hoped for is another reason. 1t is
probable that the next national cOnven-
ton will be held at st. Louis IN October
or November 1896

osTRAoIsED by ARMY SOCIETY
Lieut.. Lang, who Married beneath
His station, to- he Retired.

Washington, d. c., March 2i.-Second
Lieutenant Clarence p. Lang. u. 5. A..
although graduated from West Point
only so recently as June, 1894. is to be
retired, and the causes thereof and the
social ostracism Of the lieutenant and
his young wife ever since their mar
riage. which was on the day of Lieu
tenant Lang's graduation, is a matter
of exceeding gossip in army circles.
The army, from a social point of view,
is an institution which is not generally
understood outside of itself; but there
is no place in the United States or
abroad where social lines are more
closely drawn.
Lieutenant Lang was young; besides,
he was only cadet, and not an officer,
or he might have acted differently. He
first fell in love with and then when he
had the right, married the daughter OF
Commissary Sergeant Klinger of West
Point 1t does not appear that the girl
was ambitious, or anything more than
loving and lovely, but the marriage
was secret and the best man was a
private soldier, who has since been
discharged from the service. though he
had made no application for discharge.
Father-in-Law Klinger was transferred
from West Point because II was not
thought well to have him there as a
constant reminder to the cadets of the
eloDement of one of their number on
his graduation day. For there were
other non-commissioned officers and
enlisted men who had pretty daughters,
and the example might have been fol-
lowed by others The story would have
been rehearsed to every new pleb and
such gossip, it was held would not eX-
ert a good influence among a crowd of
young celibates. Lieutenant Lang was
stationed at Fort Warren, Mass.
The wives of the other officers did
not visit Mrs. Lang, even during her
confinement. This was through nc
lack Of womanly interest or sympathy
but the reason frankly stated was that
the presence in Lieutenant Lang's
quarters of Commissary Sergeant and
Mrs. Klinger prevented it, Army So
ciety might be willing to accord to Mrs
Lang recognition as the wife of al
officer but her marriage conferred nC
social rights upon her father and moth
er, not even at so critical period as M
accouchment.
Lieutenant Lang voluntarily applied
for retirement soon after graduation
out tnlS was feIuSeu. ne was IiSi
granted sick leave, and now that h
appears to be untitled for duty he ha'
been ordered before a retiring board
Nobody knows whether his home lif
is happy, because nobody has been t
see, and probably nobody cares.
But the fact that he spends the mos
of his time with his pretty young wifi
and baby might be accepted as evidenc
that he cares more for them than h
does for the society that has refused t.
receive them. Secretary Lamont ha
investigated the matter it is said. an
as Secretary Lamont was not Away
at the head of the army, socially. n
may have taken a different view G
things from some Of the others. A
! all events, Lieutenant Lang will 500
: be retired and the gossips will regar
} the incident as officially closed.
