GENERAL EAGAN SENTENCED
S SUSPENDED FROM RANK .IND
DUTY FOR SIX YEARS.
President Shows Clemency and COM
mutes Sentence of Dismissal Imposed
by Court Martial Eagan VIII be Re-
instated i'm Tirle to Retire With the
Regular Rank and Pay.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president
to-day caused to be promulgated the
| sentence in the case of Commissary-
General Charles p. Eagan. The court
| martial sentence was dismissal from
| the army, and the president has COM
muted this to six years suspension from
duty, which about covers the remainder
| of the time prior TO General Eagan's
retirement in January, 1905. The fol-
lowing is the text of the order Of the
president:
"The accused after a trial by a court
martial. composed of officers Of high
rank and distinguished service, has been
found guilty of conduct unworthy an
officer holding a commission of the
United States, and obnoxious, in the
highest degree, to the discipline and
good order of the military establish
ment. Such behavior is especially de-
serving of condemnation in an officer
holding high rank in the army and
charged with the performance of diff
cult and important administrative du-
ties in a time Of great public emergen-
cy, and from whom, when subjected to
adverse criticism. an unusual degree Of
restraint and constant and unfaling
self-control are confidently expected.
"The proceedings, findings and SEN
tence in the case of Brigadier General
Charles p. Eagan, commissary general
of subsistence, United States army, are
therefore approved.
I'm view, however. of his gallant con-
duct in battle, upon more than one oc-
casion, which merited and has received
the warm commendation of his superb
ors, and of his long and honorable rec
ord of service. extending over a period
surprising in duration that usually al
lotted to generation, having regard
also to the mitigating circumstances
which We're developed during the trial
of the case, and in Difference to the rec
ommendation for cemency submitted in
his behalf, the sentence of dismissal i'm
posed by the court is commuted to sus-
pension from rank and duty for six
years (Signed)
William Mckinley.
February 7, 1S99'
1T was stated by Adjutant General
Corbin that General Eagan's suspension
carried him to within a few days of his
retirement under the age limit. He will
be reins tated in time to retire with the
regular rank and pay provided in such
cases. The sentence of suspension, ac-
cording to the legal officers of the de-
partment, does not deprive General
Eagan of any part of his pay, but, as
the sentence reads without rank and
duty" he loses his allowances, which
include Communication of quarters, ra-
tions and fuel and his horse allowance.
This is quite a large financial item.

the New Britains two. The score at the

An Honorable Business Career.

II. II. Bergh closed his blacksmith
and wagonmaking shop Monday last,
and in the course Of weak or two will
move his business to Powell Park
where good opening awaits him.
This move on Mr.. Bergh's part was
not necessitated by any lack Of business
in his line, but was prompted BY other
motives. For some years past Mr..
Bergh has been the owner Of one OF the
finest ranch properties in the park. and
the desire to be close to 1t and give it
more OF his attention than heretofore,
is responsible for his change vi business
location.
r. IL. Bergh came to this valley In
1882, and opened his blacksmith shop
in the fall of 'ss. With the exception OF Il
trip to his old home In Norway dur
ing the winter of o. 95. he has been at
his place of business for eighteen years
4
past, thus making him the oldest bust
ness man in Meeker in point ot continu-
GUS service, when he closed shop the
other day. $500
During all these years, close attention
to his affairs, honest dealing and good
workmanship has marked his dealings
with his customers and the public. and
on this foundation he built up trade
which any man would feel proud Of.
Doing business on these lines, 1t will
not take long to build up fne trade ut
his new location; and host OF friends
throughout the county wish MI. Bergh
success in all his undertakings.
