ASK THAT HOWELL BE PUNISHED

They Consider the Captains Assault Upon
Merchant Larson Was Uncalled For.
Dies MONIES, Sept. 22.-Many promi-
nent signatures are being secured to a
petition asking the reprimand by the
war department of Captain d. L. How
ell of the Seventh infantry, for the as
sault on A. w. Larson, a prominent
clothier, in the Slavery house few
days ago. On the strength of the fact
that Larson had his wheel in the hotel
by sufferance of the management of the
house, that the brushing of mud ON the
clothes Of the army officer was purely
accidental, and in view of the additional
fact that the offense did not justify an
assault which brought $40 and costs in
the police court the next morning, the
petitioners believe they have just
grounds for bringing the matter to the
war departments attention.
