Chicago, October 23-The question
of holding a session of the Fort Sheri-
dan court of inquiry ON Sunday is I'M
der consideration by the officers who
constitute that body. Twenty wit
nesses remain yet to be examined,
some of whose testimony is expected
to be of most important nature, and
while there is no particular occasion
for hurry, Col. Snyder and Capt Moon
would like to finish the investigation
and submit their report to the War
Department. There is no section of
the code which prohibits the holding
of Sunday session of court of in
quiry or one of similar jurisdiction.
Sergeant Brainerd, who was in
charge of the guard house on the day
OF Private Hammond's mutiny, was
the first witness at to-day's session.
Sergeant Brainerd is the man who,
IN his testimony, Hammond accused
OF holding his back down against the
door sill as he was being dragged out,
so that Capt. Coverings command of
"scrape him" might be obeyed.
The sergeant testified that he had
been ordered TO take hammond to the
summary court, and the prisoner re-
fused to move from his CELL
L ASKED MIN II he was sick" said the
witness, and he replied that he was
not. linen L asked HIM if it was simply
case OF won't walk and he said that
1t was. Then | went away and reported
to Lieut.. Bernard, the officer of the
guard, who put the same question to
the prisoner and received the same an
sWer. Capt. Lowering, the officer of
the day, was notified, and l was sent to
get rope. Having to search for some
time before l found one, saw nothing
of what happened until the party was
ready to start for the guard house. Then
l stood on the step and watched them
drag Hammond until they disappeared
behind the drill hall"
Did Capt. Lowering kick Hammond
or prod him with his sword?" asked
Capt. Noon.
1 saw him make several attempts, :"
replied the witness.
How many times did Capt. Lover
ing kick the prisoner"
Il saw him attempt to stab him in
the corridor Of the guard house and
also kick at him at the head of the
stairs. L heard no vile language" Col.
Snyder then interposed and asked the
witness if he thought it was necessary
to convey Hammond to the summary
court room in that manner.
Il do,' said Brainerd, because he
refused to go and knew that force
would be used
Brainerd was asked where Capt. Low
ering stood when Hammond was being
dragged from the guard house and an
swered that he stood just outside the
door, also volunteering the information
that as the men passed, the Captain
kicked at the PROSTATE prisoner.

Early in the fore noon the people gatered in front of the Assembly hall. where a procession was formed, headed by the St. Johns Cornet band, which, under the leadership of Marinus Christensen, discoursed excel- lent music during the day. After marching through the principal streets the procession returned to Assembly hall. where the exercises of the day were held.
 Miss Louie Freeman, the May Queen, was vision of rare lovliness, and pre- sided over the meeting while the pro- gramme ofexercises was being rendered, with ease and grace. The programme itself was an excellent one, and re- fected credit both on the managers ot the affair and all who participated.
 In the afternoon dance was held for the benefit of the younger people and children, while the days observance closed with a ball in the evening, at Assembly hall.

Both sellers and buyers are to be con- graduated on the fact that the cattle in southern Arizona are in such capital condition for shipment In addition to the greater ease with which thrifty cattle are handled, the seller profits by the fact that much larger percentage Is accepted, and the buyer is a gainer through the fact that few die :n route and the cattle on arrival at their new range are strong enough to withstand little bad weather, and after a few days rest begin to grow and thrive.- Range News.

Black Jack Killed at Last.

A special dispatch from Clifton, Ari- zona, conveys the welcome intelligence that Black Jack, the notorious bandit has at last met his we'll deserved fate. The dispatch reads:
 Clifton, Ariz., April 29.-Word was brought to this town this morning that Black Jack, the leader of the noted train and station robbing gang, had been killed hy 8 posse under Marshal Hall, of New Mexico. nineteen miles from here. This band of murderers who were led by the dead bandit, have operated along the Southern Paclhc railroad from Pantano, in Pima county, far into New Mexico, but it has been presumed for months that they made their headquarters in the Chiricahua mountains near White Water Tn Coch- ise county.
 The band is some fourteen strong and is composed of Texas cowboys who banded themselves together for plum der. Marshal Hall has been on their trail for six months and has kept a large posse also on the Arizona front fer watching for the gang.
 This town is jubilant over the killing of the leader, as his men have terrorlz- ed the communities along the Southern Pacific railroad for six hundred miles and have put Wells Fargo and the rail- road company to heavy expense guard ing trains and stations. The news of the killing is meagre. It seems that the posse located five of the robbers and surprised them, but succeeded in securing only the leader, the others retreating into the rugged hills adja- cent. A reward of some SIG, 900 Is out for the capture of this outlaw which will undoubtedly be pad to the intre- pid marshal who has. never left their trail since they fired the first shot.

"Going into decline" How often do we hear this expression. What does it mean? It means that people are los- ing flesh, growing thin, wasting.
 The way to correct this condition IS toimprove the digestion. The condi- tion arises from an inability to eat and digest food. In fact food does more harm than good. because it fermcnts putreties in the stomach, developing poisonous substances which when ab- sorbed cause various disorders.
 What is required is that the stomach be made to perform it's duties The Shaker Digestive Cordial is food aI- ready sigested and digester of foods ds well. It will make the stomach healthy. Get book from the druggist and read about 1t.
