tire squadron, is a member of the princely house of Stolberg Wernigrode. which is so powerful and influential that doubt whether the count will re- ceive any other punishment than be- ing placed on the retired list
 An officer who strikes his superior, or even at him, is punished by death in the continental armies of Europe in times of psace, as we'll as in those of war. the sentence Of death being in fIicted by court martial, while in the English navy the other day a sailor was condemned to ten years penal seryitude for having attempted to strike his captain.
 Officers are likewise permitted by usage Cn the continent to draw their swords or revolvers and to cut down or shoot any subordinate, that is to say, any nOn-cOmmissiOned officer or man who by attempting to strike them may be said to be in a state of mutiny. This is sanctioned, not by military law, but by custom, and on the same ground on which an officer in uniform is more or less allowed to cut down any civilian who strikes at him, and who is pre- vented by the inferiority of his social condition from giving reparation in duel for the blow
 From this point Of view, therefore, Count Stolberg has been guilty of no offence in killing the sergeant.
 Where he was wrong, however, ac- cording to military ethics. was in com mencing the affair by striking the un- fortunate man in the face, thus pro voking the sergeant's very natural re- sentiment, and it is solely for this breech of military regulation that the count will be retired without any stain On his character, or his civil or social status being in any way affected.

Peter Grant Held Up
 on Howard Street.
RELIEVED OF HIS VALUABLES
HE SUBSEQUENTLY TRIES TO
 STRANGLE THE ROBBER.
Meets Him on the Water Front and Is Prevented From Kill ing Him by
 Citizen.

Pete Grant, a sailor, was held up by a lone robber at Second and Howard streets, a short time ago and robbed of $14 S5.
 The robber was armed with g. revolver and placing the muzZle against Grant s forehead, threatened to kill him if he made an outcry. He then went through his pockets, taking all the money he had and a cheap silver watch.
 Last evening Grant saw his despoiler walking along the water front, and ac- costing him he deman led the return of his money.
 The robber laughed at him. and threat ened to break his jaw if he again spoke to him.
 fingered at what he termed the audac- ity of the robber. the pugnacious sailor grabbed him by the throat and proceeded to strangle him. A citizen who was pass ing at the time. being ignorant of the cause of the trouble, seized Grant and prevented him from strangling his de- spoiler. After Grant had released his hold on the robbers throat the latter took to his heels and made his escape.
 Grant was subsequently taken to police headquarters where he told his tale of woe to the Chief of Police.
 According to his story he was walking along Howard street, and when near Sec ond he was approached by the stranger, who was armed with revolver. Placing the weapon to his head he ordered him to throw up his hands under penalty of being made a subject for the Coroner Thinking that the stranger was playing "a joke on him. Grapt attempted to grab the revolver, when the ominous click of the trigger brought him to a realization of his predicament.
 With an oath the robber threatened to blow his brains out if he resisted, and then proceeded to search his pockets. Af- ter taking his money and watch the des- perate robber ordered him to move on or suffer being riddled with bullets. Grant, realizing he was in the hands of des- perate man, lost no time In complying with his command.
 While strolling along the water front last evening he recognized the man who had held him up and he determined to get even with him. Grant declares that If the citizen had not interfered he would have strangled the thieving stranger He describes him as being about 35 years of age and had a stubby red beard. He was poorly dressed. and on the night of the robbery he wore dark slouch hat, which was pulled down over his eyes.
 A description of the robber was at once sent to the Harbor Police Station with in- StructiOnS to arrest him.

ChiVaIrous Act of a Young Artilleryman.
A MYSTERY SOLVED AT LAST
RETURN OF A DESERTER TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY.
The Extenuating Circumstances in the Case of Eugene D. Giber- son, Whose Sentence Has
 Been Reunited.

Among the orders issued from military headquarters on Saturday last was one stating that 'in the case of Private Eugene D. Giberson, Battery G, Third Artillery, guilty of assertion, and sen- tenced to forfeit all pay for eight months and to perform hard labor for that time, General Merriam, in view of extenuattng circumstances attending the absence of the accused from his battery and of his voluntary return to the same in time of war, as well as his good record in all other respects while In the service, remit ted the sentence and ordered the private to return to his battery"
 The story of Giberson's career since he came to the Pacific Coast is brief, though 1t is full of romance and forms most interesting chapter in the young mans biography.
 Giberson who is only p years of age, comes from a most estimable and refined family of Cleveland, Ohio, where he was educated. He is a graduate of the Cleve- land high school, and for two years at tended the St. Johns Military Academy In that city. Bright, intelligent active, handsome and well-equipped in every way to fight lifes battle, he came West in 1894 to seek his fortune. The Midwinter Fair attracted him to San Francisco. One day, while taking in the sights at the fair in company with a young lady, he met the wife of military officer to whom he was introduced by his companion. She was striEingly handsome woman, highly cultured, refined in manners and fascinat- ing in conversation. She was several years older than young Giberson, but she :: at once manifested a deep interest in him. In the course of time their acquaintance grew into very warm but innocent friendship. The lady assisted the boy-he was then not much over eighteen years of age-in every way, especially in his stud ies talked to him about his prospects in life, encouraged him in his ambition to make his mark, and endeavored to map out for him some particular pathway to pursue in the accomplishment of that laudable object. It was finally determin- ed that military career afforded the best opportunities to win fame, and perhaps fortune, and young GibersOn, encouraged by his fair patron, enlisted as a private in Battery c of the Third Artillery Regt- ment with view of sooner or later be- coming a candidate for the second lieu tenancy.
 His battery was stationed at the Pre- sidio and now young Giberson was near his friend who resided at the post. She continued to take an interest in his ca reer and as a. result they frequently met and took long walks along the romantic pathways of the Presidio reservation. Perhaps 1t was indiscreet on the part of

THINK THEY HAVE
 TWO SMOOTH CROOKS
EDWARD BURKE AND GEORGE
 KING ARRESTED.

For the past week Detectives Thomas, Gibson and Egan have been looking for three pickpockets and all-round bunko men who are supposed to hail from the East, and last evening the officers sue, ceeded in landing Edward Burke and George King, whom they suspect of be- ing members of the gang.
 The names of the suspects were placed on the detinue book at the Central Sta tfon. and before the men are definitely charged an attempt will be made to cap ture the third party. The gang has been operating in Sausalito, Alameda and Oak land for over a month, but the officers at those places were unable to secure any clew which would lead to their capture:
 An occasional trip to this city in the evening brought the evildoers under the eyes of the police force here and the de- tectfyes were detailed to make the arrest. A good description of the men was se- cured and last evening when Burke and King stepped off the ferryboat they were handcuffed and taken to the station, both protesting their innocence. The two men are well dressed, young, and well appear ing. which suits the description furnished the officers, and the latter have little doubt but that they have the right men.
 The operations of the crooks have been carried on in very quiet manner. leav- ing little chance for detection. They are credited with being as clever articles In the bunko line as have been on the coast for some time.

the lady, who, being innocent of any evil doings, had no idea that she had made herself the subject of unpleasant gossip. Finally, her husband became aware o1 her friendship for the young man, and threatened divorce proceedings unless It was terminated. This fact came to the ears of Giberson, who realized that he was imperiling the fair name of lady whom he honored and respected. For several days he was deeply troubled over the situation, and the more he thought of it the more serious 1t seemed to him.
 One day Private Giberson, who had been an artilleryman for ten happy roll call. He had disappeared from the Presidio.
 There was no more gossip about his lady friend. His departure had put an end to all talk, and she soon regained her former position in the esteem of her friends and acquaintances.
 GiberSon went to Honolulu, and engag- ing in business as a photographer, mak- ing a speciality of groups" met with ar tistic and financial success.
 When he heard of the breaking out of the war with Spain, his patriotism led him to at once return to his country to surrender himself, and, If given the op- for the flag.
 A quiet sensation was created at the Presidio the day he returned and gave himself up to the authorities to be dealt with according to military law. Up to this time his disappearance and the cause of it had been a mystery at the post and It was not SOINeu until ne was tried for desertion by court-martial three weeks ago. It was an intensely interesting and dramatic trial. Gtberson was defended by Lieutenant Benver K Smith Of the Utah Light Cavalry, who in a most eloquent and touching plea, brought out the fact, without naming the lady in the case. that the boyish artilleryman had deserted in order to preserve the good name of an estimable woman who had sincerely be- friended him, and that he had now re- turned in time of war to fight for his country if given a chance.
 These are the eXtenuating circum- stances that were brought to the atten- ton of Major General Merriam after the gallant young mans conviction, and they of the court and restore him to duty. The petition that was presented to Gen eral Merriam in Gibersons behalf was signed by sixteen well-known officers,

A gaping bullet wound in the right tenn ple and a revolver clutched in the stiff fened right hand told the story of suicide. The body was removed to the morgue to await Identification.
 Not long after the finding of the sui cide's body an accident occurred on the main drive of the park that almost cost Alexander McPherson, lad Of fifteen years, his life. Young McPherson, who resides with his parents at 216 Chattanooga street left his home to take spin on his wheel in the park. He was riding along the drive, not far from the music stand, when he collided with a buggy driven by James Tyson of California street The shaft of the buggy struck the boy on the back of the head, glanced and almost tore his right ear away.

It is thought that he will recover.
