each should load his revolver with but
two cartridges and that each should
take hold of the same handkerchief and
not let loose while firing
They met this morning at the break
of day at the division line between
their farms. No witnesses were pres
ent and the services of a surgeon had
not been arranged for. Jack" Bur
dett produced the handkerchief, which
was a big red bandana. and his broth
er, Jesse took hold of the other end
The latter gave the signal and both
fired, Jack shooting wildly and Jesse
wounding his antagonist in the leg.

Jesse has been placed under arrest
and Jack" is in the hands of a sur
geon, with small prospects for recov-
cry. Both express extreme regret at
the occurrence.

Philippines Quartermaster
Reprimanded for Failing
to Spend an Appropriation

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Colonel
John NJ. Clem. chief quartermaster Of
the Philippine division, has been repri-
manded by General Humphrey, quar-
termaster general, for his action in
turning into the United States treasury
the sum of s423, 900 as ''unexpended bal
ance" Of the appropriations for the last
fiscal year, when, as stated at the War
Department, the money was actually
needed to meet the expenses of army
transportation and other work of the
quartermaster's department. 1t is said
that the service was embarrassed by
Colonel Clem's action, as it seriously
interfered with the work of the quar-
termaster's department.
General Humphrey has informed
Colonel Glenn that his action is disap-
proved and would not have been taken
If he had had a proper conception of his
duties. The money, having been turned
into the treasury, is now beyond the
control of the War Department and the
officers. and it will have to be reappro-
priated by Congress to meet existing
obligations 1t is not unlikely that
Colonel Glenn will be relieved of his
present duties and recalled to the
United States.
Colonel Glen is one of the heroes of
the War of the Rebellion and is known
as the drummer boy Of Chickamau-
ga" because of his gallant conduct dur
ing that battle while serving as a
drummer in the Twenty-second Michi-
gan Volunteer Infantry.
