To STAY or Not to Stay.

That is the question which comes up
for the boys of the Seventh Ohio WHO
are home on furloughs to decide. 1t
seems that the officers of this regiment
wish to keep their positions and thera.
fore have represented to the powers
that be that the greater percentage of
the boys wish to remain in the service,
while the boys complain that more
than half of them do not wish to re-
main. 1t is understood that Col. Ham
ilton was in Washington and the sup
position is that he has been trying to
get the sentiment of the boys ex-
pressed so he can use 1t to some ad-
vantage before the final arrangements
for luusterinS out of tic regiment.

A Santiago Hero.

Mr.. Bernard Savage, of Centre Bend,
Morgan county, was in the city yester-
day, and placed the Leader under OBJ
legations for friendly call.
Mr.. Savage is one Of the heroes of
Santiago de Cuba, having participated
in both the decisive battles which
shook Spain to her senses.
Mr.. Savage is full of interesting
war talk, and told us many incidents
of army life. He was a member of
troop G., 1st Cavalry of regulars and
he served his country we'll and honor
ably.
Savage enlisted in the regular army
at Evansville, Indiana, October 18th,
1895, and his required three years of
service expired on the 18th of this
month. A large part OF his army life
was spent at Fort Sheridan, near
Chicago. He received his discharge
at Fort Meade, South Dakota, and is
just from that place.
Mr.. Savage went down 10 Parkers'
burg Wednesday afternoon to see his
brother, who lives there, and about
Saturday he will go to Centre Bend tC
see his folks and his old home after an
absence of three years.
The young man has had with him
for year past an Italian greyhound
which has stuck to him through thick
and thin, and was companion in the
trenches in front of Santiago.
Savage is an interesting fellow, and
he looks the fighter from spur to cap.
He has an intense admiration for Gen.
Joe Wheeler, and is warm in his
praises of Roosevelt.

A Still Alarm,

On a still alarm Thursday night
about 1:30 the fire department was
called to the trestle between Second
and Third streets, near the c. G. Nj. de-
pot, which was on fire, likely caused
by a hot coal dropping from an en-
gine. They attempted to extinguish
the fire with chemicals but failed and
made use of the hose. The fire had
APPARENTLY been burning for some time
but in such manner as to not cause
any danger to trains using the track.

SHOT
In the Abdomen and Seriously In
p. iured.

Tuesday, the 18th, as Lewis Lorenz
and his brother were hunting on the
hill back of "Ridgways" landing about
six miles up the Muskingum, Lewis
met with most serious accident, the
outcome of which is in doubt.
Mr.. Lorenz's accident was due to the
accidental discharge Of a shot gun in
the hands of his brother. They we're
climbing hill, and were quite near
each other when an accidental Jolt set
off the gun. The load of shot entered
Lewis's left thigh and groin, and one
shot penetrated the abdomen. All the
load with the exception OF the shot
that entered the abdomen will work
little injury, but the one which struck
the man in the abdomen has set up
peritonitis. This condition lends rath-
er a bad aspect to the case. F.
