Drill Yesterday.

Companies E and OF the Second IN

were out for field drill yesterday un-
der the command of Colonel j. W.
Guthrie. The Signal Corps also turned
out and spent several hours in flag
signal practice. The drill was held in
side Agricultural Park
Had the men been actually in the
field, two of them would have been sent
to the hospital with wounds to be
dressed. And they were not trfiing
ones either. The men were engaged in
a skirmish drill, and after firing blank
cartridges they fixed bayonets and
rallied" as If expecting the enemy
no charge upon them.
Most of the shells used were too
tight for the rifles and could not be re-
moved by the electors. This required
the men to use their ramrods for driv-
ing out the shells preparatory to re-
loading. While thus engaged in fore
ing down their ramrods Sergeant Guth
and Private Hill of Company G were
both injured.
Each drove his right thumb down
with great forceon the point of his bay
onet Guths thumb was pierced TO the

passed by the bone and cut clear

DROWNED WHEN NEAR Home.
Sad Fate Of Mrs. John johnson Last
Tuesday.
IT. Was Not Known Till Yesterday
When Her Body Was Dis
covered.

1t was sad and heart-rending dis
covery that District Attorney
Frank D. Ryan made yesterday
afternoon when he set out toward
Sutter County to ascertain if
possible what had happened to his
wife's sister, Mrs. Maggie Johnson,
whose home is in that county, some
hve miles from Pleasant Grove.
He first found her buggy in the brush
that borders a creek near Pleasant
Grove, and this confirmed his worst
fear that Mrs. Johnson had been
drowned. After a short and fruitless
search in that vicinity for her body,
Mr.. Ryan visited a neighboring farm,
secured the assistance of some men and
q further search was made, resulting
In the finding of the unfortunate
wonan's body farther down the
stream, the waters of which had fallen
IN the last few days.
A week ago yesterday Mrs Johnson
whose husband is John Johnson, a
Well-known young farmer in Sutter
COunty-came in buggy to this city
to visit her sister, Mrs. Ryan. She
remained at the latter's home at
Twelfth and P streets over night, and
ITO her home, distance of twenty-seven
miles.
But she did ont reach there. Mr..
johnson did not expect her on any
particular day, butt yesterday he be-
came anxious over her prolonged alb
sence and went to Pleasant Grove,
where he expected to get a letter from
her explaining why she had 50 pro-
aonged her visit
Receiving no letter, he telephoned to
Mr.. Ryan, asking, why is Maggie
staying so long in the city,"
Mr.. Ryan was dumfounded. Why
he replied, Maggie left here last Tues
day for home
1t then became evident to both Mr..
johnson and Mr.. Ryan that something
had happened to the missing woman
and Mr.. Ryan decided to leave at once
and If possible unravel the mystery.
There had been severe storms a week
ago, and ii was feared that in at
tempting to ford one of the several
swollen streams that intercept the road
TO Pleasant Grove Mrs. Johnson might
have been drowned.
How well-grounded We're these fears
was soon proven. Mr.. Ryan hastily
procured a team and left the city, trav-
cling over the road his sister-in-law
had taken. Last evening he telephoned
no Mrs Ryan the terrible news of her
sisters death and the finding of her
body, as already related.
Mr.. Ryan did not return last night
and Undertaken George Clark was
summoned to the scene of the drown
ing. The body will be brought here
to-day. Mrs. Ryan is nearly prostrated
over the terrible affair. Her sister was
20 years of age, and her home was a
happy one on the farm in Sutter Coun-
fy. She leaves no Children.
