falling on the mountains shortly after
midnight. and the storm which has
been raging since week ago, with an
occasional let up, Is again in full blast.
Fuel and proyisians are getting
very low at Breckenridge, Col,
and much suffering from the lack of ne
cessities must surely result. Not a
wheel has moved out of Como. on the
South Park, for two days, and reports
from there tell of great losses
to range stock No trains have
moved west of Leadyille on the Col
orado Midland for several days. Should
the storm keep up its present fury
great suffering and loss of life will re-
suit. The storm extends along the
mountains of Wyoming. and already
the loss to cattle has been great.

here. On one OF the islands in the Bass
group lived a family named Robson.

little boy was sick. and before aid could
be secured from the mainland or other
islands he died His parents did not
want to bury him on the island, so they
determined to take the body back to

duct unbecoming aa officer and gen
tleman and conduct prejudical 10 good

Notwithstanding the nature of the
courts conclusions, the president can
exercise clemency If he so desires, and
Gen. Eagan's friends will urge that his
punishment be confined TO relieving
him from the duties OF commissary gen
eral of subsistence and to a detail TO
garrison duty, instead OF putting upon
him the disgrace of dismissal from the

Prospect of Medical Inquiry.

The president combines both the par
doning power and the reviewing power
in his own person. He may take into
consideration, and II is generally be-
lieved he will, Gen. Eagan's mentalcon-
dition at the time he committed the
offense which the court-martial has
found OF so serious a character as TO
Justify his dismissal from the service
With this in view the president may
have good cause to initiate further pro-
ceedings, which would be in all proba-
bility to convene a medical board TO ex-
anime into his condition OF health. On
their finding OF a serious mental con-
dition the president could, and possi-
bly, will, order Gen. Eagan placed upon
the retired List as being physically in
capacitated for duty.
