LAWTON AND M'ARTHUR
Former to Have Precedence in
Making motions-Merriam
to Have Henry's Place.

New York, Oct. 2S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: By the
death of Gen. Guy Y. Henry, the Presi-
dent has the appointment of another
brigadier general in the regular army.
He will thus be able to reward Maj
Gems. Lawton and Macarthur at the
same time. 1t is expected that the APP
pointments will be made in the order
named so that Gen. Lawton will have
precedence over Gen. Macarthur 1t is
said at the war department, however,
that no appointments for either the reg
ular or volunteer army will be announced
for several days.
The command OF the department of the
Missouri, left vacant by the death of
Gen. Henry, will fall to Gen. Merriam.
AS a matter Of fact, Gen. Merriam is
now in command of that department., as
well rs the department of the Colorado.
1t IS the intention to keep him in this
dual command indefinitely, for the reason
that by the appointments of Gems. Lawton
and Macarthur there will be no one
available to take command of the depart
ment of the Missouri

ENDING OF A WEDDING
Herman Hornfe1dt Becomes Infuri-

Random Into a Crowd.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. Is Special l.
A country road just outside of the vii
lage of La Crescent, Mimi, just across
the river from this city, was the scene
of what came very near being the very
tragic ending of a merry wedding party.
AS consequence of the episode four
persons are nursing wounds from duck
shot discharged by small boy from a
double barreled shotgun. The youngster
claims that the ducks that he was lay
ing for were frightened away by the
hilarious wedding party, and III his dis
appointment the Infatuated youth turned
the gun upon the innocent merrymakers
and fired.
August Papernfus and Mary Hanson
had been married i'll Il small country
church near La Crescent They We're
turning to the village in bus, singing
and laughing and joking and having the
best sort of a time. They drove by Il
marsh and evidently disturbed the hunt
ing operations Of a yOungSter from Il
nelghborlng farmhouse named Herman
Hornfeldt. The ducks flew away fright
ened by the merrymakers. and in IL mo-
ment of anger the boy turned his gun
on the wedding party and let go with
both barrels at short range. In an in
slant there was confusion in the bus and
screams of pain and terror were heard.
The driver was the principal sufferer.
At least thirty shots penetrated his flesh.
Mrs: Mike OF this city. one of the party,
received five shots in the forehead 9th
er members of the party came in for
slight flesh wounds. Mrs Mike was
hurrledly brought to this city for sur
%lcal treatment. The others were cared

WAS A FAILURE.
Two Rivers Club Stocked Reserve
with Pheasant and Quail.

Two Rivers, Wis, Oct. 2S.-[Special.1
1t now seems that the time and money
spent by the Two Rivers Gun club in
stocking their game preserve with pleas
ant and quail, will prove a failure, as
very few of the birds placed in the pre-
serve are seen there today. Several
causes are assigned for their disappear
ance, the severity Of the climate being
the chief one and their wandering dispo-
sition another. Reports have been re-
ceived here by some of the members of
the club that quail and pheasant have
been seen in localities where they have
never been known, and the conclusion is
that these are some of the birds, which
We're placed in the reserve here. 1t is
not probab BILE that any more attempts will
be made to stock the game preserve with
birds not native to this section, but in
stead to protect the game now in the pre-
serve, which has increased greatly.
