killed en- the day that he was to start
for the home from which ne had been
absent three months in Porto Rico
Ard now the last chapter is to be

capacity of coroner. wrote to Colonel
John 3. Castleman, Of the First Ken
lucky. telling him, officially. OF the
death of Reffett, asking him for infor-
nation regarding it, and at the same

My Dear Sir: l have the honor to
own the receipt Of your valued favor Of
the 18th inst, and beg to advise that
Private Henry Reflect. of Company l.
while resisting guard and in disobedi-
cnce OF orders. l saw his wounds
dressed and they did not seem to be
serious. 1 regret to learn OF his death
II am, dear sir, very truly yours,
JOHN Is. CASTLEMAN
Colonel Commanding
This is the end of it all. The case
is q peculiarly sad one in view of the
homecoming of the troops. The man
had been turned loose after being coop
ed up in the army for so long, and given
the freedom of the city. FIe abused it;
got drunk, and not knowing what he
was doing, went to his death There
has always been an impression that his
life might have been saved by proper
treatment The man had his skull frac-
tured, and the injury was treated as
though it We're some minor hurt Col
Castleman says he saw the wound
dressed and did not consider il serious.
The colonel was not supposed to know,
but the surgeon. it seems ought to
know q. fracture from a scalp wound
Reffett never knew. He was dying.

The oar factory at Devall's Bluff,
Ark, run by Chas. Wells, is said to
furnish oars for the navies of the
world. There are other oars than
these made in Arkansas in use on
men.of-war, but it is certain that the
oars used in the French and italian
navies are made at Devall's Bluff.
The factory employs fifty hands, and
having its own electric light plant,
can work night shifts when crowded
with orders. Its ordinary output is
$50 pieces in ten hours run. Oars
Of all lengths are made, from 6 1-2
to "a feet. A large share of the fin-
ished product is placed through its
English branches at London, Liver
pool and Glasgow, but a great de-
mand is supplied from the factory
direct. The salmon fisheries of the
Pacific coast furnish . good market,
and the Wells brand OF oars are
known on the Atlantic seaboard o.
the States and provinces. Large
shipments 60 to New Zealand. The
orders for the French navy this yea,
aggregate 5000 oars.
