MARRIED BY A D|SGRACEFUL SCENE
the Montana Volunteers Ship
Cheers of All San Francisco Private Stanley Attempts
to Kill Lieutenant Kennedy With a

of them in camp. They were quickly
recognized by the letters and numbers
on their haversacks and were given
farewell that reminded them forcibly
of the fact that they were soon to leave
the land that had fostered them, but
would never be forgotten by those they
left behind.
After reaching Market street the
troops continued straight down to the
water front and thence to the Pacific
street wharf. Everything was in readi-
ness on the Pennsylvania for the en-
barkation. At the wharf thousands
had congregated to cheer the Montana
troops as they embarked. Mothers and
sisters were comparatively few, but
sweethearts and hope-to-be-mo
in-law We're out by hundreds and thou
sands and the scene was one the Mon
tana boys will not be forgotten for
many long month.
There was disgraceful incident that
marred the progress to the dock and
embarkation. Saloonkeepers all along
the line of march presented many of
ly among the California recruits. There
are turbulent spirits among the Mon
tana boys, however, and these, together
with a number of Californians, were
beastly intoxicated when the troops
reached the dock. A Montana private
named Stanley made a murderous as
sault on Lieutenant j. NJ. Kennedy with
knife he had concealed in his breast
beneath his shirt. The assault was
made after Stanley, who was intoxicat-
ed, had been relieved of his arms. He
seemed to be on the verge of running
amuck with his knife when a blow from
the butt of a rifle in the hands of a
Montana trooper broke his jaw and laid
Stanley insensible on the dock.
Then occurred the most disgraceful
scene of all. Captain Dunleavy of the
harbor police, who was in charge of a
squad on the dock. lost his head. Chap
lain Stull, who is beloved by every
member of the Montana regiment
thinking only of his duty towards the
poor. miserable wretch, tried to reach
him where he lay on the dock. Dun
leavy, with no regard for the Montana
minister or his official position, made a
disgraceful assault upon Chaplain Stull
grasping him rudely by the coat lapels
and shaking him violently. Chaplain
Stun was bitterly hurt in his feelings
and stated that had he been able to get
an hours leave of absence on shore he
would have laid the matter before the
police commissioners. Had the assault
been made by other than a burly police
man, the case would have been one of
aggravated assault. 1t aroused intense
indignation among the spectators and
Dunleavys ears must have burned with
the remarks that We're hurled at him.
The Pennsylvania will sail tomorrow
morning and will probably overtake
Major General Otis at Honolulu, to
whom Colonel Kessler will relinquish
his command.
