Fort Fowler Aban-
dOned.

simultaneously with the report
on last Tuesday that the Russian:
had abandoned Port Arthur in the
far east. came the report that Porl
Fowler had also been abandoned.
Port Fowler is situated IN the eastern
part of Meade county, on the east
bank of Crooked Creek. 1t has
been strong hold of Commander
"Booze" for some time and 1t was
decided last Monday to make a
sortie on his works. So according
Colonel Griggs and Marshal EN-
ick, equipped with battery A of the
Ist artillery corps and search war
rant made an attack shortly after
sunset on Monday night.
Reaching. the scene of action
Colonel Griggs stood guard at Fort
"Booze, (the depot) and the Mar
shall took the. .skirmish line in search
of the enemy, (the agent, who is
reported to be the chief dispenser of
the commissary While Marshal
Emick was out, the enemy attempted
to pass the guard, but was i'm
mediately halted by the colonel.
The enemy then attempted to es-
cape into box car, but was closely
persued by the colonel, who was
shortly REINFORCED by the marshal.
Having dislodged the enemy from
this strong hold, he was marched
back to Fort "Booze", (the depot, }
whereeathey soon gained admittance.
After a careful search, it was found
that the stores had been removed,
by the enemy, to a place of safety
and the officers were unable to as
sertain the location. After reach
ing "fort Booze" the enemy was
released and soon disappeared, the
officers being unable to locate his
Whereabouts. Everything in the
garrison had been removed to
place of safety and then even the
commander being gone, nothing was
left but for the officers to return to
camp Meade, arriving here about
midnight.
1t is thought that County At
torney Selvidge will institute a court
martial and the commander of
"Fort Booze" and some of his men
will be summoned to answer the
charge of desertion of their post, and
also to account for the disappearance
of the stores from the commissary
department.
