BORROWING FROM A PRIVATE.-Lieutenant-
Colonel Henry L. Noyes OF the 81 Cavalry. owes
his rejection by the Senate last week TO his re-
ported habit of not paying his debts. This was the
general cause OF the Senate action but there was
one case in particular upon which the committee
based it's adverse report, and upon which the
Senate Endorsed the committee. Some years ago,
when Colonel Noyes was assigned TO one OF the
Western posts according 10 the testimony sub
mitted to the committee, he borrowed a large sum
of money said to be several thousand dollars, from
one OF the enlisted men In his own regiment That
such a sum o, money could be borrowed from a
private seems incredible, but the testimony before
the committee showed that this man, whose name
the committee refused to disclose. was a frugal
individual He was the barber OF the regiment and
his wife the laundress. Between them they
laid up q considerable OF money in the course
of years. Colonel Noyes succeeded In borrowing
but from time to time paid back portions or II.
service, 1t Is said, the Colonel declined to make
any further payments. The soldier brought suit
OF ,ie money. and secured JUDGMENT for $3.50.
II was said the committee that Colonel Noyes in
his suit pleaded the statute OF limitations. first
having told the soldier that II he sued he would
never get a cent 1t appears, however. that Colonel
Noyes in an effort TO liquidate some OF his indebt
cdness. some time ago placed an order with the
for that purpose, but the soldier was not the
beneficiary of that fund. Twice since this charge
has been made has Colonel Noyes been promoted,
and the charge has never been raised against him.
II was the intention some time ago. IL * said. to
court-martial him on account OF this matter. The
court appointed and organized. but the wit
put I'm the record against him. Colonel Noyes IL
