ARMY OFFICER
TO Be TRIED
Court Martial Will Sit Today
at Smelling on Lieut..
Campbell.

Today at II o'cock a. M, in the Ii
brary room of the administration
building of Fort Smelling, Lieut.. Neil
A. Campbell, Twenty first United
States infantry will be tried by
court-martial comprising thirteen OF
his senior officers.
The charges preferred against him
by the war department bring to light
much that is of an involved and cumu-
lative Misunderstanding back to about
one year ago or more-when the regi-
ment was in the Philippines.
During the Spanish war Campbell
was with a detachment of heavy ar
tillery employed along the coast Of
Rhode Island, and, upon the termina-
ton of hostilities in Cuba, he made
application to be transferred to the
Twenty first United States infantry,
then stationed at Plattsburg, N. Y. His
wish was granted; and soon he was in
the Orient actively engaged. Through
scarcity in officers he found himself
appointed a second lieutenant, April
20, 1899, and placed in charge of the
commissary stores. On Feb. 2, 1901, he
was promoted to a first ieutenancy and
given complete charge of the stores.
1t is claimed that his accounts be-
came greatly involved. It was, some
time later, established that he was
considerably behind in his funds, but
he made good the shortage. This
phase of the matter was dropped by
the department, but the matter of dis
obedience to the department was rig
idly investigated.
To numerous urgent, indeed peremp-
tory queries from Washington. he
paid no heed whatever, it is charged.
These matters accumulated upon him
until crisis was reached. Then a
court-martial was ordered, which, con-
sidering the fact that the Jurors have
been drawn from all over the states Of
Minnesota, Montana and the Dakotas,
is looked upon as an important trial.
1t will establish a precedent in this
matter.
The jurors are: Lieut.. Col. o. J.
Sweet, Twenty first infantry; Maj H.
Liggett, Twenty-first infantry; Capt.
H. Hall, Comm, Twenty-first infant
ry; Capt. William NJ. Morrow, Twen-
ty-first infantry; Capt. c. r. How
land, Twenty-firs infantry, judge adj
vocate; Lieut. Col. E. D. Thomas, Thir-
teenth cavalry; Maj H. P. Kingsbury
Third cavalry; Maj z. w. Torrey,
Twenty-fourth infantry; Capt. G. III.
Morgan, Comm, Third Cavalry; Capt
P. D. Lochridge, Thirteenth cavalry;
Capt. A. L. Dade, Thirteenth cavalry;
Capt. w. j. Glasgow, Thirteenth cav
airy; Capt. T. w. Darrah, United States
infantry commissary; Capt. H. Hawk
ms, Thirteenth cavalry.
Capt. Charles r. Rowland, judge adj
vocate who presided over the first
American court-martial held in the
Philippines, was the officer who SEN
fenced the first man proven guilty in
those islands under American rule, and
was the advocate who presided at the
famous trial in Batangas province,
which lasted over three months.

LONERGAN STOPS
ATTORNEY CARY
Lawyer Becomes Pugnacious
During Trial at
White Bear.

Come down off the bench and I'll
show YOU" said Attorney Cary, ad-
dressing Justice James Lonergan in
his court at White Bear yesterday.
III stay on the bench and show you
the way to the JAIL" said the big JUS
tee, and the lawyer apoIogiZed.
1t was during the telling of the story
OF Christmas night celebration at the
nome of Michael Augee, White Bear
blacksmith, which ended in free for
all fight and fire which came near
destroying the AUgee home.
Mr.. Augee, the host of the Christmas
party was called upon to defend him.
SeII against two charges-carrying
concealed weapons and assaulting his
wife
Attorney Cary represented the black
SfElth, and Frederick T.. McGhee pros
ecuted. Augee was acquitted on both
charges upon the showing that the
WHISKY he drank that night had been
doped by the saloonkeeper, and
therefore relieved him of the RESPONSE
bflity for his actions.
Several friends had been invited to
the Augee home to celebrate the low
GUS event. and the beer and whisky
IS SAID to have been dispensed in a
most liberal manner. After several
rounds OF drinks had been disposed of
derIy, and when Mrs. Augee threw n
peer glass and struck her husband be-
tween the eyes the latter picked up a
tWo-gaIlon jug filled with kerosene and
hurled 1t at the head of his better half.
Inc aim of the blacksmith was
somewhat bad, and instead Of striking
MRS: Augee. it was stopped by the
hltchen stove and the contents spilled
over the floor. With increasing an
ger, Auguee picked up a lighted lamp
ana threw it at his wife. The lamp
exploded and the house was soon in
flames. -
When the house caught fire the
nghters forgot their first troubles and
joined together in fighting the flames.
Wmch were extinguished after consid-
cradle damage had been done.
Thls was the finish of the Christmas
party at the Augee home, and the fol-
lowing day the blacksmith was ar
rested upon the complaint of his wife.
VINO charged him with assault.
Inc case attracted wide attention in
the village OF White Bear, and villag-
eIs We're turned away from the court
room when the case was called yester-
day, every available inch or space be-
ing taken up. Augee declared that the
WHISKY he had purchased that night
had been "doped," and that he did not
know what he was doing after he had
Two or three drinks. Several other
witnesses told the court that Mr.. Au-
gee had started the trough house y and
Justice Lonergan decided that Aueaa
was not to blame for his actions that
night. mot
1t was during the trial Of the case
that Attorney Cary and Justice Loner-
gan became involved in a dispute
winch resulted in the attorney inviting
the court to step down from the bench
n fore
prescribed by law. The Invitation was
not accepted by the court, much to
the disappointment of the half hun
dred spectators.

Alfred Gunderson, a North Dakota
man of apparent responsibility, well
dressed and about thirty years of age,
attracted a crowd at the ruins of the

pastime and ran to arrest him. The
man rushed tc the street car track,
threw himself in front of moving
car and begged the nlotorman to cut
his head off.
"Ill give you $500 to shoot me in the
middle Of the forehead" Gunderson
cried t. the policeman, Ger if y0u can
make good with the billy I'll stand for
that"
Some difficulty wss experienced in
taking the man to the station, where
he was placed in a cell. immediately
he stripped himself Of clothing,
clared that he was a traitor to his
country end ought tt BE- shot, an5 gen
orally made life z. bowling misery for
everybody in the building.
Gunderson was noticed about the
courthouse on Tuesday, where he ac-
costed members of the grand jury ana
informed them that he was h5ing fpl-
lowed by anarchists. This young man
is of athletic build and he does not ap-
pear to be suffering from drink. An

PAULISTS PREACH
TO NON-CATHOLICS
Many Questions Are Answer
ed by Missionary
Harvey.

The interest awakened in the Paulist
mission for nom Catholics at ST. Luke S
church is by no means falling Off In all
thirty EIGHT questions have so far been
taken from the question box and answered
by Fathers Conway and Harvey. Those
received yesterday and dealt with were
Infant Baptism "Spiritism, 1.-The Form
of the Lords Prayer THE Celibacy of
the Clergy Absolute Prohibition of Di-
vorce," and why Call Priests Father? -
The subject of the discourse by Father
Harvey was, ''The True Church." The
speaker said in part:
why one among the many Christian
churches can rightly claim to be the true
church of Jesus Christ?''
1t is evident" the speaker said, that
there are false teachers in the world, as
Christ and His apostles foretoIdS The
Master mas warned US against them, for
though they come in the clothing of sheep,
yet 1nWardly they are raVening wolves
(Matt., 7:15). He has also commanded us,
under pain of being treated in the day of
judgment more severely than Sodom and
Gomorrah (Matt. 1919, to receive His
teachers and believe their word mark
1910. Since He is good and loving God,
He has, therefore, enabled US to distin-
gulSh between the false teachers and His
true ambassadtps His church is the light
OF the world; it IS z city seated on hill,
visible from afaf. What are the charac-
teristics or signs by which it may be
known?
L''She is Catholic-her name proclaims it,
all concede it. Her children are of every
race, all nations have flowed into her
Her faith, her sacrifices, her ritual, her
practices of penance, her doctrines have
been adopted in every cline. She is the
church of Christ. She sent her sons into
Roman amphitheaetres to face wild beasts
for the glory of God. No other church
did, for none otlEr stretches back to those
days.
''She is a holy church. Millions Of
martyrs, confessors and virgins are on
her rolls. She teaches holy doctrine
the fire-tried word of God. She counte-
nanceS nothing unclean, impure, but sets
her face and bends her energies against
it. She stands for the home and social
purity against the dread evil of divorce
She urges men on and up to God, and
uses every means to make them know
love and serve Him. She possesses uni
ty, wonderful, perfect. She has one head
on earth, one faith, one worship. The
truth once delivered to the saints she pre-
serves, explains and teaches to the people.
They all believe the same doctrines, share
in the same seven Sacraments, practice
the same penitential exercises, no matter
what their age, condition or race With
one heart and mind. the multitude of her
fold walk forward in the service of God.
One, holy, Catholic, apostolic, truly she
is the church of the living God, the pillar
and ground of the truth"

County Also Dispenses With Services
of Expert Bookbinder.

Ramsey county no longer has an ex-
pert printer, this office and also that
of the expert bookbinder, being abol.
ished by the county commissioners aft

Yesterday both the expert printer
and the expert bookbinder were in
formed that their services would be
dispensed with by the county and here

the members of the board and the
county officials admit that these en-
p1oyes have been the means of saving
the county thousands of dollars. bue
the county board decided to abolish
the offices because the public examiner
had said their employment was NOT
provided for by law.
An effort will be made to have leg
islation enacted providing for their le-

Robert Mantell appeared as Monbars
in the drama of that name at the Grand
last night. The play is an adaptation
by Louis Nattea1 of D'Ennerys French
drama. 1t is altogether the most salts
flying drama of the repertoire Mr.. Man
tell is presenting, not, of course, that
it approaches Bulwer's Lady of
Lyons" but because it exploits Mr..
Mantell to the best advantage.
Much Of the dialogue in "Monbars' is
of the conventional order, and it's SEN
timent trite, thereby causing some of
the scenes to drag, notably in the third
act. But upon the talk of the poison
ing in the fourth act interest is at
once aroused and sustained until the
end Of the play. The last act is easily
the most dramatic.
Mr.. MantelPs impersonation of the
title role is as convincing as ever, al
belt last evening he seemed somewhat
Indifferent at times.
Arthur V. Johnston played the role
of Louis de Meran, the young physician,
with commendable directness and sin
cerity. A. F. Yelvington's portrayal of
the baleful villain, Laurent, was de-
plorably STACEY and artificial.
"Monbars" will be repeated this
evening. On Friday and Saturday
nights and at the matinee the bill will
be 1.-The Face in the Moonlight"
