THE CARTIER COURT MART1 L.
Several Interesting Features in Yester-3
days Proceedings.
. n a


SAVA NlNAF GA, March 26.-Tbere
we're several interesting fea.ures IN the
Carter court martial process dings mere
today. Lieutenant Thomas u KEGS,
who was here from 1883 to 1893 with
CAPTAIN Carter, was taken up by COL
onsl barr ON the cross examination,
and asked about Captain Carriers horses
and forage account. To this Mt. Hla0rs
objected as it had not appeared in the
direct examination. Colonel Barr sas0
the witness having TESTIFIED 70 CaPta.h
Cutters ''mmaculateness, he eonsid-.
cred he had the right 70 sht'W up the
irregularities.
This brought spirited reply 1ron-
Mr. Blair, who said such a remark
ought rot to be justified by the record,
and asked the courts l.lGing. The court
refused 10 exclude the evidence Lle'a-
tenant ReeS' forag accounts were assf'
brought inro dispute. Lieutenant KEGS
characterized Chief Clerk J. W. Q. Ssei-
ly, witness for the prosecution. as
Sycophant and liar.
The most sensational feature was the
repetition by Lieut enant Rees OF a con-
yersa.tion he had with Captain Gillette,
in, which he considered Ca Main GilR elite
tried to intimidate him. When asked
fCsr this conversation on redirect ex-
animation by Mr.. Blair he said:
II went up to the engineer offre hSrv
nearly two months ago. when first

moneQ, on an efTdIHd, anu odPld1i I'A..
lette at once began to talk to me ABOUT

t. stMnony that I had given before the
board OF inquiry. that was extremely
partisan toward Captain Gartse-.- He He,
said: Now you and viii! be IN tne
corps of engineers longer than Captain
Carter; I know that; and now We wild
have to be careful bow we stand in
this business He said you must not

your prejsldices influence your testi-

tlciaNy responsible for the charges
which have been made against Captain
Carter. I realize that it has come TO
be a fight betwt en- him and me, and
when I am fighting. I fight hard. and
anybody who stands in my wey Is
liable TO get hit: it would make no dr.
ference if it was my best friend. /
would hit him and hurt him If could"
Those were. as near as can re-
member. his words, and them he went
on to show me what he could produ: e
against Captain Carter, particularly in
which I knew all about, and knew
there was not anything i'm it. and he
tried to make that as black as possible.
and. as I thought, to Try to prove to me
that Captain Carter was wrong, and
told me to come up and he would show
me lots o. things: that he had lots Of
things Of rhe same kind that he could
show me. 7 said With reference to that

everything they had in the trial, and
I would probably hear IT."

In the movement of the Game and Fish
Protective Association of this State on
the legislature for more law to protect
game and fish, except for the privilege of
duck shooting there is no movement for
licensing anglers and gunners. If the
State is to incur the expense of protecting
game for the amusement of sportsmen it
is only reasonable that they should pay
for the sport. All the black bass that can
be taken with rod and reel have in the
aggregate no money value worth consid-
ering. The black bass is fish of prey
and may justly be termed the river wolf.
They devour more young shad fry placed
i'll the streams by the fish commission,
than all the seins OIL the bay and tribu-
taries catch of shad.
