and many of the juniors were present
in the drill hall TO listen. Before the
time for instruction began the men
walked about the room, pushing
chairs as they secured seats. Captain
Nance objected decidedly to the noisy
ways of the students, saying:
You lack discipline apparently
You have acted like school bows to-
day. and if necessary will be treated
like school boys. AS men you ought
TO be able to take your seats noise
lessly."
That was all on that subject. but
captain Nance proceeded to relieve
his mind on another topic, saying:
Another thing which shows your
lack of discipline is the habit some of
you have Of wearing part of your uni
form about the campus outside Of the
drill hour. OF course, what you do
outside the drill hour is no concern of
mine, but I intend to see President
Wheeler and learn whether the matter
can be remedied"

minister Of Christ's Church of Healds-
burg and asked her If the marriage
was an illegal one and in trepidation
she took ii to the County Clerks Office
where she was informed that only or
da1ned and licensed ministers were al
lowed to perform the marriage cere-
mony.
Sanford had only been acquainted
with his supposed wife a short time
and now does not know where to find
