BIG SALARY FOR LUETGERT
As Museum Curiosity He Can Re
ceive $500 Per Week k-Applfcati0n
Made for Release on Bond

| Chicago, Oct. 22.--Formal application
for bail for Adolph l.. Luetgert was
made today to Judge Tuthill by Attor-
neys Vincent and Phalen. George Mid
dleton, the museum manager, was at the
criminal court prepared to go on the big
sausage makers bond in any sum, should
Judge Tuthill act favorable on the appli-
cation. Should Luetgert be released
pending another trial, he will probably
sign contract that Middleton has al
ready prepared, giving Luetgert salary
of $500 week for his appearance in the
museum for an indefinite period.
States Attorney Deneen vigorously
opposed the demand that the prisoner be
released on bail. ExJudge Vincent said
he would let the matter rest two or three
days, and then make formal application.
II was intimated that if the formal de-
mand is Denied a writ of habeas corpus
would be applied for. If this action is
taken, States Attorney Deneen says he
will at once put the Luetgert case on call
for trial again.
Judge Tuthill said "From the wide
publicity the newspapers have given the
interest of the people of Chicago
in the trial, hardly think the
prosecution can find 12 men who
have not already tried the accused in
their own minds, and either acquitted
or convicted him. That is the problem
confronting the states attorney and un-
I less he solves it by proving his men, of
course Luetgert will 20 free"

A BRUTAL ARMY OFFICER
Private Charles Hammond Relates His
Treatment to Court Of Inyesti-
CATION at Fort Sheridan.
KICKED AND STABBED BY LOWERING
The Captain Thinks Brutality Neces-
sary to Maintain Discipline in the
Ranks-Admits Ordering Ham
mond's Punishment.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Private Charles Ham.
mond of the United States army, gaunt
and thin, showing plainly the effects OF
IA days confinement on bread and water
diet in the guard house at Ft. Sheridan,
appeared before court of his superior
officers today, and told them of the cir
cumstances of his disobedienoe to orders
from Captain Lowering, and the drastic
measures taken by that official to enforce
his commands.
Under oath he testified that Captain
Lowering kicked him repeatedly, and
stabbed him in the hand and shoulder
He was dragged over door-sills and up
and down steps, Lowering all the
time curslng him. Ever since he has
been in solitary confinement on bread and
water.
Colonel snyder asked Hammond why
he left the barracks at Plattsburg, N. Y.
The witness replied: II had some priv
ate business in Chicago, and as the in
spector general was at the barracks |
knew a request for a release would be re-
fused. l had no intention of deserting
and reported at Fort Sheridan 80 as not
to be so ranked. Iexpected to be con
fined but thought that l would be re.
turned to my post and after serving q
short sentence restored to duty.
Captain Lowering was called. He made
no attempt to deny any of the accusing
witness statements He admitted that
by bis orders Hammond had bee n dragged
from the guard house, and also admitted
that he struck the soldier and pricked
him with sword. None of this treat,
ment, Lowering said, injured Hammond
in the least, as is proved by the surgeons
report, and the methods used we're, IN bis
opinion, necessary for the discipline of
the army.

WORK OF lNCENDIARIES.
Two Ranch Residences and Other
Property OF John Bennett. Near
Kingston, Reduced to Ashes
on Sunday.

dispatch from Kingston, Sierra couu-
tw, dated Thursday, conveys the follow
ing information: The two residences,
steam aawmill, tannerv, Angora goat cor
raj, and other out buildings belonging to
John Bennett, one of our most industri-
GUS and honest citizens, were set on fire
by some unknown person or persons at
an unknown hour last Saturday night
and totally destroyed, with all their con-
tents, except the $500 head of Angora
goata, which were turned out and into the
orchard to devastate and destroy, in
which they practically succeeded, peel
ing the trees, breaking down the branches,
and destroying the fruit.
Both Mr. Bennett and his foreman were
absent at the time the fire occurred. Mr..
Bennett was away conferriDg with buyers
as to the sale of part of his herd of goats.
On Sunday morning, with the purchaser,
he returned to out out 1000 head, only to
find every vestige of ten years. improve
meDt in ashes, everything still hot and
the strlngers in the mill frame still in
flames. 1t was a sad and terrible greet
ing, but he dug around in the ashes, find
ing his wife's gold watch, and the rem
nants of firearms not consumed.
1t was evident that the fire was not set
for purposes of robbery, but simply to
destroy. To burn ont the place 80 com
pletely required four separate fires at
distant points. The fire must have been
planned for some time and the culprits
must have shadowed the owner, and knew
of his absence.
