Piate Var Relic.

While A. X. Learn was choppine
wood in Halter John canyon this week
and using his AK vigorously upon a ce-
dar tree. he happened 10 glance up and
saw an old gun among It's branches.
The but.end was resting upon one limb
near the trunk OF the tree and the barrel
Law diagonallv across another limb. He
climbed into the tree and found the
weapon to be one known as the old Ken
tn'ky squirrel rifle, 80 calibre, with oc-
tagonal barrel about 81 inches long,
muzzle-loading, the ramrod resting in a
wooien socket which is brsss-tipped and
extends tho entire length of the barrel.
There are two receptacles in the stock,
presumably for caps and bullets. They
are closed with brass covers which are
kept in place by spring hi ,ges. The
letters !. W. r. are artiStirally engraved
on the top OF the barrel and about mid
way. TIE first sight is about eighteen

CHRISTMAS TREE.

Music Hall was janmed Christina,
eve by everybody large and small flock.
ing to the Christmas tree. The trees
two large ones, were decorated in good
style and ELECTED much admiration from
the Juveniles.
Contrary 10 expectations the presents
were numerous and many of them Of
them were costly. There was some
tribute OF love or nearly everybody in
the aulierce anil a spirit of enjoyment,
comfort and coltentment, lowered over
all.
The literary program began with in
truductory remarks and prayer by Rev.
+. l.. Bellam andthen followed some very
choice seleetionsof vocal and instrument
tai music, Rotations, ETC., concluding
with the appearance OF Santa Claus
Ii nself, to the great delight OF the
children.
Those who contributed to the enjoy
ment OF the people were: Mrs. D. Wash
lem, Fred WaslsiIn, Mrs. 7. B. Holmes,
Miss Eta Mae Wilson, Fred Geogg, Al
Griswold, Irwin Lewis, Vic Geery, Roy
Lewis, Miss Buhh George, W. Taylor,
and Miss Eta ~Hettenliausen.
Much credit il due to Mrs. L. Hetten-
hansen aud Mrs j. Il. George for their
untiring efforts to make the affair a
success. They csn feel that they succeed
ed in giving pleasure to many, especially
the children, and their labers are ap-
preciatea.
There was a humorous side to the
affair in the wayof the young ladies re-
membered the young bachelors with
dolls, and we hope that Charlie Short,
Il. NJ. Wicklald. Jim Dorsey, Tom
McKinstry, T. f. Moran, A. F. Sisson,
Walter Macpherson and the other young
men SO remembered will take it upon
themselves to have something nor
substantial in that line before next
Christmas.

SOLDIERS CALLED OUT.
A Confusion as to National Guard
Orders Causes Some Trouble.
Naval Reserve

Grim-visaged war will be buzzing ere
long around the headquarters of the First
Infantry Regiment, Second Brigade, n.
G. c., Lieutenant Colonel Victor d.
Duboce commanding, and the popular
regimentai commander will probably not
be victor, but a victim.
The casus bellI came about in this wise
Orders bearing date of November % were
issued by Brgadler-G General Warfield 10
Lieutenant Commander Duboce for in
spection at o'clock last evening, the first
part of which read a follows:
The colonels commanding the First and
Fifth Regiments will detail members of their
staffs to each OF their companies, these officers
to act as inspectors and TO make immediate
returns through channels.
These officers, acting as inspectors, will pay
particular attention TO the following.
Then in a separate paragraph followed
the names of brigade staff officers de-
tailed by General Warfield to act as in
spectors.
Colonel Duboce went ahead and de-
tailed mem bers of his staff as inspectors.
They finished their inspection of the two
battalions o. the regiment at the Grove
street armory and dismissed the troops.
Scarcely had the last private laid down
his arms and empty cartridge-box and
beat rapid retreat to the carnival ball at
the Pavilion when General WarfieId, sur
rounded with all the warlike glitter of
full staff OF brigade inspectors. arrived.
They found not the serried ranks of SOL
diers with arms at present, but an armory,
still, deserted. Up in the regimental head
quarters the colonel with his adjutant was
discussing the airship as factor in mill
tia warfare unconscious of the campaign
about to burst upon him.
The astonished commander in chief
dispatched his own detailed inspector,
Major Charles Jansen, to scout, That Of
fcer, all sabered, booted and spurred,
mounted the stairs. and, striding into the
presence of Colonel De boce, demanded the
regiment for inspection.
The colonel RULED his orders on the
visitor and somewhat stormy interview
took place. Then he returned to the gen.
eral, who led his staff forthwith out into
the night, while the regimental com.
mander in his office waited for the general
that never came. There was no inspec-
ton OF the First Infantry that night.
The war correspondent OF The CALL. in
fornia Hotel later in the evening. That
officer would not state just what course
would oe taken in dealing with the ap-
parent disobedience of orders, but from
the conversation it was easy to see that
there is battle not afar.
The report as handed to Brigadier War
field at midnight last night show ed 544
officers and men present.
Word to report in heavy marching
order came to Lieutenant Commander
Turner of the Naval Battalion DUR
ing yesterday afternoon. In an hour
and three-quarters ne had the four
Hotchkiss guns and all their gear
landed from the Comanche by a
hastily summoned landing party, and at
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-26

o'clock 103 men marched from the
armory, formed a battery and were in
spected with their guns and equipments
on pier Z, the new Spreckels dock. Only
the first and second divisions OF this City
were out.
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Nerney was
the inspecting officer, and he said his re-
port would be most favorable one.
Each man carried in addition to his
arms rubber poncho and gray blanket,
a canteen and haversack, in the latter
being a tin cup, plate and knife. fork
and spoon. Each man carried the pre-
scribsd amount of ammunition, and there
were $50 rounds of shell and shrapnel pro-
vided for the Hotchkiss battery.
