MIXED Up OVER LOCKERS
Companies M and K Of Hoboken
Have a Lively Scrap
on Hand.

The outlook for a lively war between
the members of Companies M and K of
the Fourth Regiment of Hoboken is very
promising. The trouble is over a gun case.
Ever since Company NJ was organized
the guns of the company have been kept
piled in a corner Of the mpa room
in the City Hall. exposed to dust, dirt
and damage. Repairs have lately been
made at headquarters or the Hill and a
row of new gun cases has taken the place
of the old ones.
AT a recent meeting of the Board of
Officers Captain Seymour of Company M
made a request that the old gun cases,
which are of black walnut and very pref
ty, be sent to the local armory. This was
agreed on and yesterday two cases ar
rived here and were taken to the armory
Captain Seymour was on and when they

from the front of one of them sent it to
an artist to have the company initial LETT
tered on 1t In gilt.
of Company M rushed into the Captains
office and explained, Company K has
stolen our locker"
The Captain was up in arms at once.
He rushed down to the arnory and sure
enough Company K had not only taken
possession of the best of the lockers, but
had put locks on all the doors.
Who put locks on those doors?" he
Lieutenant steigleiter," answered that
functionary.
H did. did he? Well off they come;
bring me a hammer" shouted Captain
Seymour.
On second thought he decided not to
deface the locker, and today he will con-
suit Captain Fisher Of Company K. I'm
less the matter is adjusted Captain Sey-
molr viii complain to the Boar of OFF,
GERS at headquarters.
A member Of Company K said last
right, I'VE have the locker and we pro-
pose toakeep It. We got 1t ahead of Com
pany M, and he best thing for them to
do is to take what is left"
Major Lehman has not interfered in the
scrap. which Is fast th;ckening,. hoping
that the companies will adjust it Setween
themselves. The lockers are worth 500
each.

Saturday and Sunday We understand
the people are much pleased with Miss
Lizzie, and well they may be, for one of
the lovliest and most intellectual char
acters to be found is recognized in the
person of Miss Thomas. Those who
know her best love her most.
Rev. B. F. Phillips visited Mr.. James
