from them yesterday telling what
they had for Thanksgiving dinner.
We ate ours in mid ocean. We had
as good dinner as could be expected
for soldiers. Our Christmas dinner
was out of sight. l sent you the

all kinds ofmistakes but the news is
good. 1 was on guard Christmas
roast in one one Of the streets my
beat crossed, and they invited me to
have some but l did not care for any.
We have had several scares, or the
officers have. They issued us three
hundred rounds of ammunition day be-
fore yesterday and told us to be ready
to march out to the trenches, but 1t
was the usual scare. The Insurgents
were asked to draw their lines further
back and in order to do so had to
make flank movonent and the
guards thought they were being at

We do not do as much running
around during the day as we did in
Frisco. We have orders to stay i'm
quarters from ten in the morning un-
til two-thirtY in the afternoon. They
are not 80 particular for us to stay in

great people for relics. They will
take anything they can get to take

take small box beside our knapsack

now with most Of the Insurgent
officers. l think they are about

TO BE TESTED IN COURT.
Question of the Right of a Subsidized
Plant to Remove.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct 27-The question
which has often arisen in Indiana gas-belt
cities whether a company which receives a
bonus in consideration of locating a factory
which means that the town practically
buys its location-has the right to move
away after operating the plant. is to be
tested at last. The people of Middletown
have become convinced that the tin-plate
trust intends to dismantle the plant at that
point Already portions of it have been
moved away, and work now under orders
indicates that what is left will be moved
away, probably to Anderson Elwood,
where larger plants are located. A commit
tee of Middetown citizens was here to-day
consulting attorneys The town gave a
bonus for the location of the plant. The
business and other interests of the town
depend greatly on its continuance there and
its operation. Should ii be moved away
property would be vacated and there would
be much loss in all lines of trade. The ques-
ton of equity is to be the issue, and II will
be taken into court. The case is somewhat
complicated by three sales OF the plant but
it is claimed that the bonus consideration
will hold.

Pension Money stolen at the Soldiers
Home at Marion.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Oct 27.-There is much
suppressed excitement among officials at
the headquarters at the Soldiers Home.
owing to the fact that a large sum of
money is missing, and, as yet, is unac-
counted for. On each pension day at the
Home over $4,000 is paid out to the veter-
ans, and great care is observed by Major
Heichert, treasurer of the Home, to see
that it is properly guarded. At the last pen
sion day asroll of money containing sl,n0
was distracted from the safe or taken from
the table, and, so far, every effort made to
find the money has proved unavailing.
Major Heichert, as the treasurer and the
responsible party, made good the loss. An
effort is being made TO find the guilty party,
and If caught he will be summarily dealt
with.
