1t seems that the authorities of
Greene county are not alone in hav-
ing trouble in the letting out of the
building of public edifces. The peo-
pie of Jackson county are having to
go through with about the same thing
on their new Jail as did we of Greene
on our new court house. IT'S more
pleasure to be an onlooker than one
who is experiencing such things.

AFRAID OF HIS OWN COMPANY.
Captain Burton, IT is Said, Would Have
Been Shot by His own NIen.

Des Moines, Aug. 11.-Down in Cass
county, where Captain Burton, of the
Villisca company in the Fifty-first
Iowa volunteers was raised and edu-
Gated, there is considerable interest ia
ken with regard to the charge of cow
ardice made against the captain. For
years he taught school in atlantic in
a subordinate capacity. Once he was
principal of the Griswold schools.
There appears to be a difference OF
opinion with regard to the particular
circumstances which caused Burton's
arrest for cowardice. The following
clipping from the American, news
paper published at Griswold. throws
additional light on the subject:
From private advices the American
learns that it was not on account Of
the enemy's guns that Prof. a. =. Bur-
ton, of Company B, Fifty-iirst Iowa,
showed the white feather in the Phil
ippines. 1t seems that Burton had n
great deal of trouble with his COM
pany, particularly the under officers
and rumors were often heard that
Burton would. turn up missing after a
skirmish,' etc. This word reached Bur
TONS ears as his company was going
into the fight, and rather than be shot
by one of his own company he pre-
ferred hiding in the rear
