one of dozen men who are fond OF
hunting remember that water fowl
are the only species of game birds

prohibits the act of killing or taking

on ones own property. 1t is un'

The erroneous impression has gone

FREE LEGAL ADVICE.
People who Draw on Attorney Gen
eraI for Their Supply.

According to Deputy Attorney General
Merrill Moores the office of the attorney
general is the repository of more conun-
drums than any other in the Statehouse.
People in all parts of the State are contin-
ually writing to the attorney general ask
ing his opinion on all sorts of questions
With the average rural resident the con-
viction seems to be strong that the attorney
general is placed in Office only to answer
queries which ordinarily should be adj
dressed to their local lawyers. In most
cases, however. the queries come from
towns too small to afford a lawyer as a
resident. The towns of reasonable size
furnish few letters from men who wish
to save lawyers fees, the great majority
coming from places the existence of which
is unknown to anyone in the Statehouse
until in answering them their location on
the map is fixed. Even then 1t requires
well-edited atlas to find some of them. The
eXaSperating thing in connection with these
queries is that most of the matters touched
on are, as general thing, complicated and
require profound thought. AS each one of
them requires to be answered in a. manner
that will not reflect on the attorney general
the extra work done by that official can be
imagined, when from twenty to one hum
dred such letters come in each day.

Arthur Navin Pictures Some of the
UnDleasautneSs.


Al Navin yesterday received a letter from
his brother Arthur, in the Twenty-seventh
Indiana Battery. The letter throws a
strong light on the method of the COM
mander of the transport on which the bat
terry sailed to Porto Rico. The letter is as
follows:
I'VE are now about fifty miles from Porto
Rico. and as we are liable to meet a mail
boat any moment / thought had best write
and let you know how we are. There have
been some pretty sick men on board but no
fatalities. We have only two very sick
men in our battery and they are in no dam
ger. The funny sight was to see the gang
get seasick. Oh, my but they were sickl
There were forty or fifty of them, and
they sat around looking the picture of
despair. We had nice trip-lIo storms and
rather a smooth sea. We are too crowded
for comfort, and when we slept down on
the lower deck it is hot and foul smelling.
we could stand that II 1t wasn't for the
hot one they threw into us on rations and

and we had to drink It almost lukewarm.

beef. canned beans. bareback and coffee.
hadn't been moldy and the beans sour. The
coffee was all right in it's way, but it was
so weak that it couldn't stand alone. For
nearly three days l didn't eat thing but
bareback and coffee Enos and / finally got
next to the ships cooks and we got a little
meat ana DTedQ from lneIu.
THE sailors felt so sorry for the boys
that they got to dividing their mess with
them, but the ships captain called them all
up last Monday and told them that if they
were caught giving the soldiers any of their
mess they would be put in irons and when
they returned to New York they would be
tried for larceny. You should have heard the
howl from the boys when the sailors came
back and told of the orders they received
1t didn't do any good, though Last night
several of US went down in the hold of the
vessel a foraging expedition and to-day
the officers mess is short three ten-pound
boxes of fancy cakes, two twO-dozen boxes
of canned salmon, two one-dOZen boxes OF
fine California plums and three four-dozen
boxes of French sardines. Any time they
give us the worst of it they will have to get
up pretty early or stay up all night. l sup
pose there will be howl, but nothing short
of q stomach pump will disclose the miss
ing articles. We were just contemplating a
raid on the ships pantry. but we will prob
ably call that off. as we are now so near
our destination. We had four men left at
Newport News--Millikan, Gates Sanders
and MCGEE. They went ashore without
leave and didn't get back in time. Two
others-Coffman and Moore-got left at the
wharf, but hired tug and overlook us at
Old Point Comfort, at the mouth of the
bay. My foot is nearly well. i can walk
on it. but there is still slight soreness"

He Also Lived with the Sailors and
Fared Well.

Mrs. Andy Forsythe yesterday received a
letter from her husband, who is a member
of the Twenty-seventh Indiana Battery.
Mr.. Forsythe was an actor before he be-
came a soldier. The letter had been begun
at Chickamauga and the part relating to the
trip from Newport News is not dated. 1t
is as follows:
1.-THE horses were loaded on the good
ship Roumanian, and we got our dinner,
purchased by Captain Jim. Four batteries,
signal corps and hospital corps, in all one
thousand men, and eight hundred horses all
on one craft; you can imagine how we
were packed together. We worked all night
and UP to noon. Thursday, the 18th. when
we weighed anchor and started down the
James to the bay in tow of a tug, and out
into the Atlantic.
II am writing this in midocean. The
trip has been uneventful. Some of the boys
have been pretty sick. You know Andy had
his sea legs with him and came out on top.
Doubtless the papers will be full of kicking
about the food, but ], lived with the sailors
and I lived pretty high. SO don't worry
about me. This is the last day. of our trip;
we have sighted land and l will try to get
this off in the big bag"

on the ship were starving and should come

that. We would like tn murder the thief.
The stuff doesn't belong to him. and, of
course, all the money goes down in his own

but the captain got on to ii and said that

MAN WHO KILLED DOUGE
WALKED INTO THE POLICE STATION
AND GAVE HIMSELF UP.
William Fitzpatrick Tells What Led
to the KfIIing-DOne in
SeIf-Defense.

William Fitzpatrick, the young man who
struck Frank S. Douge with billiard ball
Tuesday evening, inf1icting injuries which
resulted in death several hours later, walked
into the station house last evening about 6
o'clock and gave himself up. After making
himself known to Sergeant Corrgan, who
was in charge, he told his story and was
locked up on the charge of murder.
His story is essentially the same as has
been published, corresponding closely to the
version given by Patrick Hagerty, the bar
tender. Fitzpatrick says that when Douge
entered the saloon at the Capital House a
game of pool was started between Douge
and one or two others Douge won easily
and then Fitzpatrick who is more of an ex
pert than the others, offered to try game.
Douge accepted on the condition that Fitz-
patrick should be handicapped twenty-five
points. Fitzpatrick won four games out of
five. and he says Douge was in a bad humor
at the close. Fitzpatrick then proposed a
new style, in which he was not to win I'M
less he run eight consecutive balls The
game was started and Fitzpatrick says he
made his points, but that Douge claimed
that only seven balls had been pocketed.
Angry words passed between them, in which
the lie was passed by both men. Fitzpatrick
says Douge then came at him with his fists
but failed to strike him. Douge then
grabbed up his coat and renewed the fight.
1t then that Fitzpatrick, according to
his own story hurled the ball. Fitzpatrick
is mere boy in appearance, and weighs
less than $50 pounds. Douge was large
man. Fitzpatrick says he used the pool ball
in self-defense. He waited to see Douge re-
stored to an apparently normal condition
and then departed for Muncie, where he in
tended plying his trade as a jewelry ped
dler at the fair. No more thought was be-
slowed on the incident until he heard an ac-
count of Douge's death read from a morn
ing paper yesterday in Muncie. He at once
realized he was the guilty person and start
ed at once to this city to surrender himself
to the police. He made his way to Fort
vile on the first freight train that passed
through Muncie and walked from Fortville
to this city yesterday. Without going to his
home or stopping any place he made his
way to the police station. The story as re-
lated by the boy himself is pathetic. He
acknowledges that he is guilty and only
asks for mercy.
