EAGAN Is GUILTY.
The Final Decision Now Rests With the
President.


Washington, Jan. 28.-General Eagan,
commissary general of subsistence, has
been found guilty of the charges Of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man and of conduct to the prejudice of
good order and discipline and of the
specifications thereto, and has been SEN
fenced to dismissal from the United
States army, but with recommendation
from the court-martial for the exercise
of executive clemency.
Under the regulations the court, having
reached the conclusion that the accused
was guilty, has no choice in selecting
penalty, the regulations prescribing abb
solutely that one Observation-Disclosures
for the offense.
Therefore, the only hope for General
Eagan is in the direction of Communication,
mitigation or disapproval. colonel Davis,
the judge advocate of the court-martial
finished his revision of the record of the
courts proceedings this afternoon and
at once placed the papers in the hands
of Secretary Alger This action settled
at once any doubt that may have ex-
listed as to the routine to be pursued in
the treatment of the case.
AS for Secretary Alger, as soon as he
has read the record he will place it at
once with the president who, under the
law is the hnal reviewing authority. 1t is
his privilege to add to or take from the
strength of the courts recommendation
that clemency be shown. The indications
are that the papers will be in the presi-
dents hands early next week.

to say Of the well known Lewistown

Several people of this county, more
especially those residing near Kirwin,
remember Jeff Johns, or 'Beefer'
Johns, as he was generally known. Ten
years ago Jeff Johns held down the
sack number one for the Kirwin ball
team, and there is where he won his
euphonious name of 'Beefer' But Jeff
Johns reformed. He screwed down the
safety valve to his talking apparatus
and quit playing ball He went out
west-landed in Montana-struck a lead
and knowing no other way by which he
could blow in his money faster, bought
a newspaper after being there a few
years. and now we hear of him at Lew

one of the best hearted fellows who ever
handled a stick in the northwest Kan

FIVE UGLY WEAPONS.
A Collection of Sabres and Daggers Used
by the Filipinos.

by the Filipinos.
Great Falls, Jan. 29.-Lieut Charles
French of Company A, LIST Montana,
stationed at Manila, has sent to his
folks in this city a box containing
collection of five weapons, which he has
picked up on his foreign station. They
are all of the sword or dagger variety
and if they are sample of what Uncle
Sam must do in the way of beneficent
assimilation the gigantic proportions of
the job ahead of him is appalling. There
are two sabers in the collection. One
is about the size and shape employed
in our own cavalry, but as the scabbard
of this has but one strap ring it is prob
ably not a weapon used by any man on
horse, but probably by the infantry
The second is a short blunt saber, worn
by the Spanish civilian guard or gen.
darmerie. Of the remaining weapons,
two are as nasty looking instruments of
murder as one can imagine. They are
of native manufacture and more nearly
than anything resemble the Christy
bread knife, dear to the heart of every
housewife, the sole difference being that
they are double-edged, taper to point,
and the waves in the cutting edges are
longer than in the harmless kitchen
utensil. One is about Is inches in length,
while the other is over two feet long.
The remaining instrument in the lot is
Spanish knife, used either for thrust
ing or for throwing. 1t Is quite COM
mon weapon in the mother country,
where it is often found in a jack knife
form, the blade folding into the han
die. In. this particular instance the
handle and blade are rigid. The sabers
show signs of considerable use but the
daggers are all apparently new. The
collection will be added to the cabinet
of curios already in the hall of the fire
department
