been to the front since the End, our COM

chasing around town doing provost

double duty for our regiment, but we

Our line is 20 miles long, and there
are Is regiments on it. All the available
troops are out, hardly enough being left
for police protection of the city. / wish
we had more troops, so we could keep
right on after the rebels, but as it is we
have advanced as far as we dare, and
are waiting for the e-enforcements
that are afioat and nearly due here. The
rebels are organizing again, and getting
into shape for another licking. Had we

Roswell Poisoning Case.
Eddy Argus.)

Roswell has wholesale poisoning
case. Sunday morning Mrs. Blashek
wife of G. f. Blashek, the old miller
there, poisoned herself and two boys
with strychnine. She mixed the poison
in sugar for the children, and after ad-
ministering it to them took dose her
self. All of them died. 1t was at first
thought that Blashek might have done
the deed himself, but when the facts
were learned it was ascertained that
before dying one of the boys said his
mother had given them "some medicine
mixed in sugar" The tragedy followed
a quarrel between husband and Wife
and while not directly responsible, per-
haps, old Blashek, by his ill-treatment
and abuse Of the woman, made life so
hard that she preferred to die.

an early issue of a proclamation by the
