1T. sULNoN's DISAPPEARANCE.
Ordinarily He Would Have Been Drop
ped as a Deserter

Under ordinary circumstances the name
of Second Lieut.. Max Sulnon, 10th Cavalry,
would have been dropped from the army
register yesterday as deserter. Such is
the practice followed in the case OF an Of
ficer who has been absent from his post
without leave for three months In the
latter part OF May Lieut.. Sulnon, who was
then stationed in Texas, was granted few
days leave of absence for the purpose of
visiting his family in the neighborhood.
Since then he has not been seen or heard
from. and has been carried on the rolls as
absent without leave" Lieut.. Sulnon was
an officer of excellent record and exen-
plary habits. and was happy In all his re-
iatons, domestic and official Consequently
the belief is general in military circles that
his unexplained absence is not entirely vol
untary. and 1t is feared that he has been
foully dealt with 1t is on that account
thaA the department is unwilling to put the
charge OF desertion against his record.
Every effort is being made to secure some
trace of him. and final action will be post
poned by the department until his fate is
ascertained.

ELLA BRAxToN's CAREER
Has Served Prison Terms and Has
Chance of Another.

Ella Braxton. colored who was arrested
yesterday by Detectives Muller Hartigan
and Cornwell and locked up on charges of
HOUSEKEEPING, published in yester-
days Star, will be given a preliminary
hearing in the Police Court tomorrow The
woman has caused the detectives a great
amount Of trouble and work since her re-
lease from the prison at Moundsville last
September. Several times since a colored
woman has been detected in the act of
plundering a house, but each time she
managed to escape. At other houses rob-
berries were committed without discovery
of the perpetrator. 1t was known tc tho
detectives that Ella was at liberty, but
she had managed to keep out of view, and
it was not until yesterday that she was
overtaken.
In her trunk the detectives found arti-
placed under arrest she had nothing to
say, except that she had done nothing
wrong.
On the occasion of her first arrest, near
ly twenty years ago, she told of her
Wrongdoings, and then stood by while her
statements were repeated in the court by
the police. She profited by experience
and on the occasions of her later arrests
