stood nine for conviction and three for ac
quittal. The defendant was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff, and his case will
not come up again until about the middle Of
next month, if, indeed, it does then, fol
there is widespread opinion that further

Orange Growers bank, was banqueted last
night at the Bordwell by his friends, the af-
fair being in honor of his safe return from a
long visit east. The banquet was set for 25,
and the festivities of the occasion lasted un-
til late in the night.
Most of the members of what was Com
pany M of the Volunteers arrived home to-
day, bag and baggage. The boys are more
than pleased that their term of enlistment
is over, and that they are now free to resume
the duties they left off seven months ago,
when the call for volunteers sent them on
their way to the front. Now that the boys
have nothing to fear from higher authority,
they are telling about some of the miserable
indignities to which they were subjected
when in the camps at Srtl Francisco, at the
hands of some of the officers of the rcgi-
ment. Most of the boys spoken to say they
would enlist just as quick again as they did
in the first place, provided the country
needed them and they could have different
regimental officers. So far as the boys join
ing national guard company is concerned,
the majority of them will not do so.
