pudiates Sale.

ings and suits for damages are creating
war in the gypsy camp at Forty
seventh street and Western avenue and
half a dozen lawyers are trying to get
affairs Strengthened out. The trouble

son for a wife. The martial relations
were not happy, however, and Toda
ran away to Indiana, where she began
proceedings for a divorce. On her re
turn she found a home in the camp
with the George family.

and her father-in-law sold her to Mrs.
George for $155. After the money had

MUCH SICKNESS
Still Prevails at Camp Thomas and
More Room and Help are Needed.

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, Aug. Is
Tt is probable that the Third division,
First army corps, ordered from Chick
amauga to Lexington, ,Ky.,wilI get away
Thursday and Friday of this week
Brigadier General Sanger in command
Of the brigade, is now in Lexington,
making necessary preliminary arrange
ments and it is believed that he will
have everything ready for the men to
start Thursday, the day after the gen
eral review here. 1t is not known when
the Second division, First corps. will
get away as the camping grounds at
Knoxville do not seem to be SatiSfac-
tory and General Mckee is looking for
another further up in east Tennessee.
Inc suggestion OF the past few days
as to crowded and inadequate hospitals
at Camp Thomas are bearing fruit.
Improvement can be noticed in all
and the patients are now receiving
much better attention.
The hospital of the Second division of
the First corps, has been provided with
new tentage, cots, flooring, lumber, etc
1t comes late but not too late to do
much good and to greatly relieve the
crowded condition of the hospital. It is
one more stride forward and goes to
prove that General Breckenridge knew
what ought to be done and cared to
nave 1t accomplished.
The hospital of the Third division
First corps, is still uncomfOrtably
crowded. A reserve hospital, however
has been erected nearby and patients
will be received from the division hos
pital to it. There are now in the Third
division hospital 326 patients most of
whom are ill with typhoid fever. There
are a number who are critically i'll and
whose recovery is a bare possibility.
The surgeons are doing everything
possible for the suffering patients, but
they need more room and more help.
There is now an excellent opportunity
for Red Cross nurses, and to refuse to
admit them is to commit crime.

the city jail. He is as wild as any who
have been jailed for som some time. and it is
court to have him transferred to a ward
at the Topeka insane asylum.

this lunatic at 1 O'Clock Sunday morning
in the Union Pacific railroad yards.
He gave the name of T. b. Dervant
and said he was from Wyoming. Der
want is a small man, somewhat bald, has
full beard, prominent eyebrows, and
piercing eyes which move uneasily from
side to side and then set in one direction.
When spoken to Dervant goes through a
series of gesticulations, draws close to
the questiOner and finally blurts out an
answer
He said in regard to himself: ct live up
in Wyoming. I have been down to Kan
sas City to see if I could take a shipment
of cattle, but there were none Then I
went over to ChillicOthe, Mo, to visit
friends. In 1871 when was in the Unit
ed States cavalry I was shot in the groin
by an Indian, and a piece of the bail is
in my body yet. The lead poisons my
system"
Dervant will be taken before the pro-
bate judge today to be tried for his sanity
He is 4S years of age, and his appearance
is enough to frighten the ordinary per-
son.

was simply an error of judgment, but
not caused by fear. DR.. Wear will not
