STOLEN BICYCLE RECOVERED.

Got it From 81 feIlcr."

Mayor Powell yesterday bound over
to court in the sum of $50. Charlie
Mitchell, very black, very ragged
and very dirty negro boy, who had
been the temporary possessor of one
article of value-a serviceable bicycle
identified by Mr.. p. l.. Gattis. who
lives East. of Raleigh, as one which
had mysteriously disappeared from
his home some days ago.
The bicycle was first seen after its
disappearance as it was being ridden
along a Raleigh street by "A negro
named Copeland, who. upon being
hauled down and questioned prompt
Iy implicated Mitchell. who was like
wise forthwith arrested. Copeland
proved the truth of his assertion as
TO how he came in possession os the
wheel and Mitchell was put upon his
trial.
Fired by Copeland's success. Nit
chefs eyes glittered with bright
thought as he stood before the mayor:
II didn't stole dat wheel" said he;
" buyed it,

TO FORCE A MEAT FAMINE.
With This Weapon the Chicago Strik-
ers Will Oppose the Packers.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Sept. IA meat famine
will be forced at all costs. 1t is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may not be
welcomed by the independents"
In these words President Donnelly,
of the butchers national organization
declared a boycott against all meat
and announced that union men Will
quit in all packing establishments this
afternoon regardless of where live
stock is secured.
Donnefly'S announcement was made
at the conclusion of a meeting of the
Allied Trades conference board.
The executive board of the Retail
Meat Dealers Association of Chicago
had just been in conference with Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the independent packers and to seek
authority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and rep
reSentatiVeS of the strikers.
BY ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an aggres-
strate the intention to make it fight
to a finish.
Indications are that five independ-
ent packers within the stock yards en-
closure will join the big packers i'll
their fight, while those outside will en-
edavor to continue operation with UNI
ion crews. Within the yards the in
dependents are obviously preparing
for war, a wagon load of cots HAVING
been taken to one plant.

Capt. Hobgood to Take Part of Green's
boro Company to Manassas-Gen.
Goblin in Cloud OF Steam.

Capt. r. p. Hobgood, of Greensboro,
VINO as stated has been detailed for
the Manassas manoeuvers, will take
win MIN a portion of his Greensboro
company, who VIII fill out the ranks
OF the Lexington company. Capt.
Hopgood Will assist in the command
OF the combined company during the
encampment
Inc troops to be engaged in the ma
noeuVers Will number some $4,000
men taken from the National Guard
and the regular army. 1t is also said
that one of the features of the en-
campment will be an effort to repro
duce the movements made by Stone
wall jackson at the second battle of
Manassas, which the modern soldiers
Will be expected to accomplish without
learning the ground except with the
aid of maps. If the troops engaged
in the mimic war can give a pasSable
imitation of those surprising manoeuv-
ers, they may lay claim to a high de-
gree of proficiency.
Among the interesting sights at the
ola battle-ground during the days de-
voted to preparing for the reception
OF the troops has been the gallant fig
ure of General Corbin scouting in a
cloud of dust from one camp to
another in a brand new white au-
tomobile
What would the shades of Stone
wall jackson and the ragged men who
made the glory of Bull Run and Sc
cond Manassas think of that appari-
ton could they revisit the scenes of
their old triumphed.

forces Monday night, did likewise.
The medical corps is to take ad-
vantage of the manOeuVerS Tor It's own
development and as an object lesson
to the militia. Persons are to be put
out of action with specific wounds
at the ratio of two to company,
These men are TO be cared for and
treated the same as if they were
actually wounded. In this way the
ambulance and hospital corps will
have an active part in the campaign.
Most of the militia troops which are
to participate in the manoeuVerS are
now on their way and will begin to
arrive early tomorrow. The detrain-
ment of the troops is one of the les
sons to be taught by the manoeuvers
and great preparations are being
made by the officials of the Southern
Railway to make the lesson perfect
in all details.
Colonel Wagner, chief umpire of
the manoeuvres. today gave final in
structions to the fifty umpires under
him. This force is divided evenly
between the two camps. Each camp
has a division umpire; each brigade
has an umpire who is in command of
the umpire for each regiment in the
brigade. The chief umpire for each
division is placed in possession of the
plans of the commander of the di-
ision and Colonel Wagner is placed in
possession of the plans of both di-
vision commanders. The umpire has
equal command of the troops over
which he is presiding with their COM
manding officer. He can rule them
out of action at any time he sees fit,
and also can rule out any number
of men. The umpire speaks with
the authority of the corps commander
on the field.
The reports of the umpire are
made Immediately at the conclusion
of an action.
