THE CASE OF CORPORAL oseooD,

The case of Corporal Charles x. Os-
good, noted in the PRESS OF Monday,
Involves the enlistment regulations Of
the army. TIipler's Manual, which Is
the law, provides that recruit muet have
four sound jaw teeth which meet one on
each jaw. DIR. William Cammett, the
United States examining surgeon here,
found that Osgood did not meet the re.
quirements. The only step that could be
taken then was an appeal to Washington,
which was at once made. This action OF
the surgeon was entirely proper and such
as he was compelled to. take by the law.

his business.
Then the man sat up and told all that
tale which you have heard, my father
of how young man, great and strong
came to the place of the People of the AK
and conquered Jikiza, the holder of the
ak, and became chief Of that people, anu
of how he had taken the cattle of Masilo
and driven him away Now Chaka
knew nothing of this People of the AK,
for the land was great in those days, my
father, and t ere We're many little tribes
in it, living far away, of whom the king
had not even heard. So he questioned
Masilo about them and Masilo answered
saying that the number of their fighting
men was perhaps the half of a full regi-
ment: that their cattle were many: that
they paid no tribute and that the name
OF the young man was Bulalio the
Slaughterer
Then the king grew wroth. ARISE.

Masilo heard and said it should be so
"Begone, said the king, land stand
before me on the thirtieth day from now
with the answer of this boy with an ak
Ii thou standest not before me then some
shall come to seek thee and the boy with

So Masilo turned and fled swiftly to
do the bidding of the king

daughter NADIA were dead among their

the men of the chief of the Halakazi

all in it to the assegai. and among them

not afraid, my father-only the wicked

Heaven. Nay, was not afraid; stood

loudly as he spoke: Thou shouldst sleep
well this night, my mother. for have

lifted to strike out his brains, when |

the midst of the dead saw an arm stir.

COURTS CONFLICT.
WcstrninIng Order Issued Prohibit
Ing Interference with OnrrnIiNes


INK Interference with Operatives.
Weir City, Kan, June 26.--Deputy
United States Marshal r. C. Trigg is here
today serving restraining order issued
by United States District Judge Hook on
about 100 union miners, restraining them
from in any manner interfering with the
operations of the Central Coal and Coke
company in Cherokee county or Crawford
county Accompanying the injunction is
a subpoena citing them to appear before
the Federal court at Fort Scott the first
Monday In August. Sheriff Sparks OF
Cherokee county is also enjoined from in
terfering with the company in any lawful
steps or means 1t may take to employ men
to work in the mines OF the Cherokee COM
panies and also from interfering in any
steps which 1t may take to bring In out
side miners whom IL has employed to
work in the mines. This Injunction brings
the state and Federal courts into conflict
inasmuch as the State court had previous
~ granted an injunction against thu
bringing In OF negroes from the South
acting on the allegations of the union
miners that the negroes were criminals
and liable to bring disease into the com
munity.
