THE SHERIFF HAS HIM.
Capt Duncan, or The Twenty-secOnd KAN
sas, VIII Be Prosecuted By the Tir-
EinIa Authorities.

Washington. Aug. 3O.-Capt Louis
c. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty
second Kansas regiment, is held by
the sheriff of Fairfax county, Va, to
answer an indictment charging him
with Decorating confederate graves at
Bull Run, near Manassas It appears
that Dr. Duncan, whose case has now
become famous, was not sentenced to
five years Imprisonment, as reported
from Camp Meade, Pa. but escaped
much more lightly at the hands Of the
military court, there being a lack of
evidence to prove that he actually took
part in despOiling the graves
The finding Of the cOurt-martial, ap-
proved by Gen Davis, was that Sur
FeOn Duncan be deprived Of his rank
for two months, be confined to regi-
mental camp and forfeit half his pay
for the same length Of time and that
he be reprimanded by the commanding
general
