British Lieutenant Thought Soldiers

British Lieutenant Thought Soldiers
Should Know Ethics Of War.
London, July 25.-Details of a re-
markable case OF persecution by brother
officers of young lieutenant of the
Second Life Guards, at Windsor, a reg
iment of which King Edward is colonel
in-chief, show that in this crack cavalry
organization, like many others, the
officers are intolerant of the presence Of
anyone who takes his profession
seriously.
Second Lieutenant C. d. Gregson, who
secured commission on Macrch Is,
1902, was known to be a hard worker,
efficient and popular with his men.
On Monday night a number of officers
OF the regiment chased Lieut.. Gregson
out of his quarters, hunted him through
the barracks with whips, at the same
time using foul language, ducked him
In horse trough until he was half
dead, and subsequently, wrecked his
quarters and destroyed his entire kit.
Inc lieutenant was forced to spend the
remainder of the night on the bare floor
OF o, his room, wrapped in an overcoat.
Inc only explanation of this treatment
Is that Lient. Gregson was socially UNI
desirable. There is no doubt that in
view OF the lieutenant's record and the
Mhgs connection with the regiment,
MS majesty will institute a strict in
'es'lgatlon into the occurrence.

The Drug store AT F.uIt.

An individual. who from his clothes
and the dinner pail which he carried
appeared to be laboring man, recently
walked into drug store on Eleventh
avenue and requested to be given a
marriage license.
you'll have to go to the city hall to
get that" said the druggist.
II don't see why. Isn't my money
good here? I'm in hurry, too"
"We don't handle that kind OF IL
cense" answered the drug store man.
''Well. / was told could get one
here sure. and that d-n jutice won't
marry me without license" angrily
snapped the fellow as he walked out.
The druggist said that people often
come in with requests which would
make a stone man smile. ''and II you
do laugh they get mad" he concluded.

MADE RICH HAUL.
Americans show Mexicans How to
Hold Up . Train.

Hold Up Tram.
Ell Paso, Tex, July ga daring
holdup took place on the Mexican Gen.
trail, Just after the train lett Bernijillo.
At Bernijillo three Americans boarded
the train, two secreting themselves on
the blind baggage and the other enter
ing the third-class coach. As soon as
the train pulled out the two riding on
the blind baggage entered the express
car and, covering the messenger, Z. E.
Buckler, with their guns. ordered him
to,throw up his hands. The messenger
offered no resistance.
The robbers then went leisurely
through the safe. securing $50, 900 in
currency consigned to the Banco, Min
ero, at chihuahua. They also took
what other money packages were in the
safe and stood quietly by until the train
stopped, making hasty exit and drop
ping off the train as it was slowing
down. After alighting they disappear
ed into the darkness.
About the time the robbers entered the
express car the conductor of the train
became engaged in an alteration with
a passenger who refused to pay his fare.
Finally the conductor had the train
stopped and the passenger elected.
The robbers alighted at the same time.
1t is now believed the troublesome pas
senger was a partner of the robbers. and
his action ruse to secure the stopping
of the train.

Though many fights occurred they
never became general, nor was any per-

force OF police and mounted municipal

and at times the crowd became too
Dense. On the whole the crowds were

themselves to shouting Liberty, iber-

hands of a group of socialist women who
were bent on mobbing them.

Ine Captain Tells Different Tale Of
the Diamond Deal

London July 25.-Putmap prad,ar
Strong. of New York, arrived in Ton.
don this afternoon and went to a mi
Va.e west end hotel. In conversation
with representative of the Associated
Press, Capt. Strong said he had nawnad
about $S,400 worth of Nav Yobe,s
lewelry at her request and for her ben
ent after they returned from Japan
and that she had received the entire
proceeds from him at the time the
Jewels were pawned.
Il have never had one dollar of Nav
Yohe's money and no person knows It
better than she" he continued. "The
money on which I am now travelling
was received from the sale of nv library
and of this fact May Yohe is also
aware. I have done many foolish and
most unwise things, but they have not
been criminal.
AS to my further movements do
not think they should interest any one
greatly, but will say that l propose
living quietly and endeavoring to re-
deem my good name.
AS to the story that rifled her
safety deposit box, that is absurd on its
face. May Yoke never had any safety
deposit box that l know of and any
banker could tell you that without her
authority l could never have had access
to it. had one in my own name in
the Knickerbocker Trust Company,
which suppose my family has opened,
as gave them full authority to do so. :"

MARQUIS cohDoVA large Spanish es-
tate. Since then In every city he has
visited his life has been one of per-
petual terror. and murderous assaults
have been made on him.
The Spanish estate is valued at 81
500. 900 and belonged to another branch
of the marquis family. Before setting
out on his quest for the lost papers.
which had been stolen from the Catta-
pant home in Italy. he employed French
detectives. These. after time. sum-
moned him to London. believing that
they had located the papers there. The
marquis was then at Monte Carlo. One
night before he set out for London he
was fired on. The incident did not
greatly alarm him. as he was then ig-
norant Of the conspiracy against his
life.
On reaching London he received an
anonymous letter In Spanish, threat
ening him with death Of he persevered
In his efforts to secure the estate. He
laid the matter before the Italian am
bassador, but no clew could be found
to those who threatened his life. A lit
tie later. while in Birmingham, he was
assaulted by three men on one Of the
streets of the city. He was found.
later. lying on the pavement uncon-
scious. When he recovered he returned
to London and there received word
from one Of his detectives in New York
to proceed at once to that city. APP
parently his enemies learned of his in
tention Of sailing for the new world.
for few nights before his departure
he was assaulted In his room. His as
sailants bound and gagged him and
then tied him securely to the bed. after
which they lighted fire In the CRATE
and turned on the gas at full pressure.
Meantime they had ransacked his pa
pers. Fortunately the janitor Of the
building smelled the gas and traced
Its escape to its source In time to re-
lease the marquis.
During April. 1901, the marquis sailed
for New York and took up his quarters
well uptown. Here. one day, he re-
ceived letter asking him to meet the
writer at South Ferry and take his
papers along. The letter went on to
state that IL the marquis claims were
well founded he could have the missing
papers then and there.
On reaching South Ferry he saw
carriage In waiting and was invited by
two men to step in and drive with
them to an Office where the matter
could be arranged. This was at 10
O'Clock on Monday morning and when
again the marquis was conscious Of
anything 1t was Friday night and he
found himself lying in bed In a hut,
near what he subsequently found was
Prospect Park, Brooklyn. When he en-
tered the carriage he was apparently
hit in the head by some weapon, for
he carries a scar as a mementO Of the
occasion. He believes he was also
drugged
When he regained consciousness In
the hut he heard voices In an adjoining
room and heard the question of his kill
ing discussed. This thoroughly aroused
him and he made his escape through
window. subsequently he tried to find
the hut. but failed. The police were
also unable to solve the mystery. -.
The marquis has not yet found the
lost papers and apparently Is as far
from attaining the Spanish estate as
ever.
