HAMMOND'S CASE
Illtreatment Of Privates Will Be In.
Vestigated-Perha

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Charles Ham,
mond, the private who was dragged by
a rope tied to his feet from the guard
house at Fort Sheridan to the headquar-
ters of the post, began at noon to serve
fourteen days sentence of solitary
confinement with bread and water
diet. This decision Of the summary
court at Fort Sheridan deals alone with
HammonG's refusal to work as pris-
orer. The finding was returned by
Lieutenant Colonel Bainbridge, who was
sitting during the session and was this
morning approved by Colonel Robert H.
Hall, the commanding officer Of the
post.
Captain Lowering, the officer whose
treatment of the rebellious private has
created such a storm of discussion in
civic and army circles alike, will under
go no investigat ation. Colonel Hall as
s,erts that his subordinate only obeyed
instructions as a soldier; that this treat
ment of Hammond was wholly excusa-
Bile under the circumstances ard that
he would be in nowise censured for his
behavior. The whole affair will proba-
bly, be reviewed by general court mar
tial which will be assembled at the in
stance of General Brooke, department
commander.
Colonel Hall has forwardedito to the lat
ter officer statement of the case and
further charging Hammond with dis
obeying orders.

is a Republican, will be succeeded to-
morrow as secretary and treasurer of the
Yosemite commission by ]. ]. Leerman.
a Democrat, who is at present employed
in the office Of w. w. Foote, the new
commissioner. The Republicans have q
majority in the board, as they number
five to the Democrats four, but owing to
the absence of Mr.. Givens from the state
and the visit Of DR.. Johnson to the south.
they became minority Of one today.

debut in the commission. The same ra-
ito as to politics will prevail tomorrow,

advantage of the situation to elect their
candidate without waiting for the gov-
ernor to name three more commissioners
in the spring, thereby giving his party
preponderance in the board.
The board appointed a committee to
confer with the Sierra club regarding the
opening of new trails.
A new policy has been entered upon by

Welburn's Weak Defense

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-THE Do.
fense in the case against o. M. Welburn.
the 6eposed Collector of Internal Reve.
nue., opened, today with an assault upon
the reputation of Thomas Sinnot, one Of
the principal witnesses for the prosecu.
ton. A rumber of prominent citizens
testified to the good reputation borne
by the defendant prior to his arrest, and
then Welburn took the stand in his own
behalf. He denied the allegations Of the
prosecution, and made very plausible
statement, to the effect that he left all
the arrangements with regard to the
paymer,t of deputies to Chief Deputy
Louis Loupe, and knew nothing. He de-
MED that he received one dollar Of any
ones salary, or that he authorized Mes
senger Dillard to sign checks or couch-
erS for him.
