An Alleged Assault

Eugene Cawear was sent to the receiving
hospital yesterday afternoon for medical
treatment. His left arm and leg were
broken, and his head was bruised in the
side. Cawear claimed to the officers that
he had been attacked by man Saturday
night at the corner of Sanchez and Arcadia
streets, and knocked down and injured. The
attack had been made without any provoca-
tion, but the stranger had not attempted to
rob Cawear. The detectives investigated
the case and learned that some time be-
tween Q and o'clock Saturday night Cawear
was seen to fall down twice at the corner
where he claimed he had been assaulted.
He was under the influence of liquor at the
time he fell, and it is thought his limbs were
broken then accidentally, and not by the
blows of an unknown assailant. He was
later removed to the county hospital.

her military strength. Two new army
corps have been created, as well az

over 400 guns; the Siberian rifles have
been doubled, and now four new army

strength within short time. Russia
already has twice as many army corps
as Austria and when the new ones are
raised will have by far the largest
army in the world, with eight more
army corps than either France or Ger
many. Yet this immense force costs
just about what Great Britain spends

which. as Lord Wolseley affirmed, can
provide two fully equipped corps for

In his account OF Bismarck in the
Franco German War" DR.. Moritz
Busch describes the great chancellor
as conducting his business while with
the army sitting on empty boxes at a
table formed OF door taken off its
hinges and resting at one end on
cask mounted on box and on the
other on a kneading-trough, having
empty bottles fer candle-sticks and
washing himself in cracked hand
basin patched with sealing-wax, SO as
to hold water. For a bed Bismarck
was happy to get an old mattress laid
on the floor. On his way to Busarcy
the chancellor had nothing to eat but
the soldiers bread and fat bacon and
his only warm food in thirty-siX hours
was some pea-sausage soup which
benevolent general officer gave to him.
For his horse Bismarck could get only
half peck of oats. Such is the luxury
of camps seen under the thorough Ger
man system of staff organization. Dur
Ing the civil war Stonewall Jackson's

the steak on it several hours before
it is to be used, turning 1t every hour.
If the steak is to be used for break
fast, an excellent plan is to fix it the
previous night and just before going
to bed turn it over and add little
more vinegar and oil If the mixture
has all been absorbed. The steak
should be cooked without wiping it.

and salt and garnished with slices of
