by the same men who assaulted him at
the park who feared that he would get
them into the clutches of the law.
The two men arrested were ordered to
the stockade for thirty days to-day, pend

terious disappearance of Private Sutcliffe.

filed with men imbued with the military
spirit. We are now at work on the foun-

field officers. We don't propose to let our
vessel get top-heavy"
