Both were identified with Camp Thorn
as at Chickamauga. General Frank
having been in command of the First
division of the Third corps at that
point. and Major Hoyt. his chief sur
Ceon there. is here. General Frank
said he considered Chickamauga a good
site for a temporary camp. but not for
a permanent camp for a large army.
The chief difficulty was in putting sinks
down deep enough, owing to the rock
formation near the surface. He thought
the camp should have been moved as
early as July. The hospital tents were
not floored when he went to the camp
early in July. though there had been
sufficient time to have furnished floor
ing in the entire camp. General Frank
said that his corps commander had new
er made an inspection of the camp
with reference to sinks, drains. etc.
DR.. Henry r Hoyt said the increase
IN sickness above the normal had begun
about the middle of July. He thought
much of the malaria had been due to
the fact that the men were compelled
TO sleep on tn ground He attributed
the increase in typhoid to the sinks. to
the flies. to the fact that the wells were
infected and to the carelessness OF the
men. The command used water taken
through pipes from Chickamauga river
and the pipe was located only a few
feet above the mouth of the stream
which drained the camp. The doctor
thought that some of the water from
this tributary stream had been forced
into the pipes by means of eddies-

A Thief stole IL, and Later 1t Turned
I'd I'm q Pawnbroker's once.

A fine fur overcoat that Andrew Weber
says was stolen from his room at the Ska
git hotel several weeks ago, was recover
ed yesterday afternoon from the Bell Loan
offico by Constable Whitfofd. acting under
a search warrant issued from Justice Aus
tins court.
Weber was taken Ill While staying at
the Skagit hote. and went to the hospital.
He left his fur overcoat that he intended
to wear to Alaska, together with other
persona; effects. in his room. The hotel
people did not disturb the room OF the
articles In II. but when Mr.. Weber re-
turned from the hospital he discovered that
his overcoa. was missing.
There was not the slightest clue to the
guilty party, but Mr.. Weber thought
that the person who took the garment
would. In all probability. sell t at some
secondhand store or pawn shop. Follow
ing out this idea he went around TO the
different places. and finally discovered a
coat at the Bell Loan Office. which he
identified as his. The proprietor OF the
place did not see fit TO surrender posses
sion on Webber's simple statement that
tho coat belonged to him. so Weber pro-
cured a search warrant yesterday and got
possession N that way. The case will be
heard next Monday afternoon.
