all along the blue-shirted line men grit
their teeth and swore as they crouched
or lay full length along the roadside,
peering through the filmy veil that
drifted slowly across their front-the
smoke from the Springfields of the vol
unteers. To lie there longer with the
bullets buzzing close overhead or bit
ing deep into the low embankmept,
souuctiiurs tearing Singing PAIN
through human flesh and bone, was
adding TO the nerve strain of the hours
gone by. To rush headlong across that

and hurl themselves upon the lurking
enemy in the bamboo copse beyond,
had been the ardent longing OF the line

held: Defend, but do not advance, said
the generals message; and the whisper
went along from man to man: "There
is trouble in town behind us, and the
chief may need us there"
But. as eight o'clock passed with no
word of uprising in the rear, and the
cheering over toward Santa Ana grew

CHAPTER XVII.

in the fortnight Of incessant' action
that followed the mad attack Of that
starlit Sunday morning, there was no
place for Billy Cray. Sorely wounded,
yet enyied by many fellow soldier for
the glowing words in which the brigade
commander praised his conduct and
urged his brevet, the boy had been
carried back to the great reserve hos
pital at Malats. The breezy wards
were filled with sick and wounded, and
certain of the rooms of the old con.
vent once used for study and recita-
ton had been set apart for officers.
There were three cots in the one to
which they bore him, and two were al
ready occupied. Even in his pain and
weakness he could hardly suppress a
cry of dismay; for there, with his arm
bandaged and in spiints, his face white
from loss of blood, lay Stanley Arm
strong. Time and again the boys heart
and conscience had rebukcd him for
the estrangemeRt that had arisen be-
tween him and this man who had
proved his best friend. Time and again
he had promised himself that he would
strive to win back that friendship; but
well he knew that first he must rein
state himself in Armstrong; respect;
and how could he hope for that so long
as he surrendered TO the destinations
that kept him dangling about the
dainty skirts of Witchie Garrison?
Oddly enough, the boy had hardly both-
cred his head with any thought of what
Frank Garrison might think OF his at
tentions or devotions, whatever they
could be called, TO this very captivating
and capricious helprnate. when hus-
band is so overwhelmed With other
cares or considerations that he never

ters' Stores to the Militia.
AdJt. Gen. Lambert is very much elatei
over information which he received from
Washington yesterday to the effect that
his suggestion before the congressional
committee of military affairs regarding
the return of quartermasters stores to
the state militia had been embodied In
the army appropriation bill.
The attorney general of the United
States gave an opinion some months ago
that inasmuch as the quartermasters' and
ordnance supplies furnished the national
guards of the several states was govern
ment property, merely loaned to the
states, that the claim for the return of all
such property at the close of the Spanish
American war was not valid. This opin-
Ion practically disarmed the national
guard of every state in the Union.
The ordnance department, at the last
session Of congress, had a provision in
serted In the army bill calling for the re-
turn to the states Of all ordnance supplies.
Gen. Lambert suggested to the committee
on military affairs that an amendment be
made so as to include the supplies of the
quartermasters' department. He received
word yesterday that his amendment had
been embodied in the bill. Minnesota will
therefore receive in the neighborhood of
$4,000 additional, while New York and
some of the larger states have accounts
of this class amounting to as high as
$50 COO

SoPHS INVADED The FEAST
LIVELY RUCTI0N AT HAMLINE
OVER THE ANNUAL JUNIOR
FRESHMAN BANQUET
Glass of 1902 Thought They Would
Capture the Banquet, but They
Met a Hard Defense on the Part
Of the Banqueters.

Confusion reigned supreme last night
at Hamlne when a score or more or
reckless sophomores attempted to cap
ture class banquet. The occasion was
the junior-freshman banquet, a custo.
mary yearly class social function held in
the university parlers. The juniors and
freshmen were settling down to the en-
Joyment of sumptuous lunch when they
became aware that the sophomores had
taken possession of the gu" parlors. A
general hubbub ensued the guests rush
ed in disorder from the table, overturn>
ing dishes and chairs in their haste to
meet the intruders and eject them from
the parlors. Quickly breaking In the
door, which was the only separation be-
tween the enraged banqueters and the
naughty sophs, they engaged in
hand-to-hand conflict. For a few mo-
ments the widest confusion prevailed.
Dress coats. collars And neckties were
thrown aside, and the hallway and par
lor were soon flied with a surging mass
of fighting students. IN the melee which
ensued heads We're bruised clothes were
torn, chairs and other articles Of furni-
ture were smashed and the floor was
one mass of struggling braves.
When the smoke of battle cleared
away it showed a gang of sulky per-
spring students laid out on the floor,
bound hand and foot and guarded by
their watchful conquerors. closer
scrutiny disclosed THAT a few had sui
fered the loss Of them mustaches, which
had been shavedhoff to add TO their NOR
tification, whileis one young sophomore
sustained a brand upon the face. Inc
unfortunates were carried upstairs and
into the chapel which was utilized as D
prison. Here and there would be seen a
fallen hero, comfortably .ensconced. de-
spite his cramped limbs, with his head IN
the lap of some feminine sympathlzer.
The stairway was guarded by plucky
maidens in pretty, but disheveled even
ing dress, whose loyalty was aptiy eA-
pressed. by one who said: I'VE just WISH
we were boys" ss.I.c5z af6
Now and then come rebell1ous sopn'

STUCK TO THE TRAIL.
Game Wardens Arrest a Northern
Minnesota Man In This City.

Minnesota Man In This City.
The watchfuIness of months on the part
Of the state department for the protec-
ton of game was rewarded last evening
when Executive Agent Beutner and Dep
uty Game Warden Henry Meyerding ar
rested Fred Duimond in this city, after
a chase Of forty miles, and confscated
load of slaughtered game, comprising
twenty-five saddles of venison and one
moose. The game seized is valued at
$780,
1t is claimed that the lead of game rep
resents the killing of crowd of pot hunt
ers, who, 1t Is alleged, have established
a camp at Cross Roads, thirty miles west
of Brainerd. Executive Agent Beutner
SAYS he has been keeping cases on the
hunters for a long time, and has made
two raids on the camp, but without find
ing any game. Last week, however, he
received tip that two men had start
ed from the camp to this city with load
of game killed out Of season The team
left Cross Roads Feb. 8, since which time
it was constantly trailed by deputy
game warden Yesterday State Agent
Beutner and Deputy Meyerding met the
team forty miles west of this city and fol-
lowed it until last evening until 1t passed
down Third street by the central station,
when they seized the load and placed the
driver under arrest. One OF the men tnat
had started with the load left the team
before State Agent Beutner and Deputy
Meyerding took the trail. and thus es-
caped arrest. The man in charge of the
came gave the name of Fred Duimond,
and was locked up on the charge of vio-
Iating the state game law. Agent Beutner
hopes by the seizure to break up the
! carnp at Cross Roads, which, he says, Is
resnonsible for the Illegal killing of much
game.

Paul VIII Get Their Money at
Once, burt I'm the Other Three In
solvent Banks There Seems to BE
Less Occasion for Hope of EARLY
Dividends.
w. Fl. Lfghtner, one Of the receivers Of
the Bank of Minnesota, said yesterday
that 1t was impossible to fix date when
another dividend would be paid to the
depositors. Seven dividends of per cent
had been paid. and there was something
on hand toward the eighth one. 1t re-
CURED about $4,000 to declare per cent
dividend, but this amount was not as yet
on hand.
Gustav Willius receiver of the Ger
mania bank, did not think the depositors
would have dividend for several months.
The liabilities were about 100000, and
there were about 1000 depositors. The
time for the filing Of claims against the
bank had not been limited by the court,
and up to date about 300 claims had been
received.
Sheehan & Dickson, receivers of the
Minnesota Savings bank, are certain there
will be no dividend paid for some time
to come, but they intend to file shortly
report which will show in detail how
the affairs of the institution were man
aged, and this, it is said, will explain fully
to the depositors and the public why no
dividend Is forthcoming.
Judge Brill yesterday filed an order In
district court, on the petition OF Receiver
E. ]. Hodgson, authorizing the payment
of a dividend of 20 per cent to the cred
itors Of the Savings Bank of st. Paul.
The report of the receiver covers the
period from Aug. Is. 1899, to Feb. l, 1900.
During that period the receiver reports
having collected 15.6S7.10 and paid out
s1O,sS4.35, leaving a balance on hand OF
$2O4, 74275.
The claims allowed aggregate 500, 2l.so,
and are $500 in number. OF these, 81, 14S. 90
have been allowed as preferred claims:
Dividends due persons indebted to the
bank will be applied on the Indebtedness.
Dividends due stockholders will be retain
ed by the receiver until the liability OF
the stockholders is determined by the
court
The receiver later said that checks
will be sent to all out Of town deposltors
at once Those in the city who can con-
veniently call at the office of the receiver
in the New York Life building would pet
ter do so, where they can get their money
at once.
