This Snapper Had often Been Shot.

West Chester. Pa. Local News
The big snapper which was brought 20
town yesterday by Edward Ingram and
which weighed q pounds, showed that Il
had been IN trouble on previous occa-
sions. on it's head, neck and feet it bore
the marks Of number OF shot and bullet
wounds. showing that it has posed as a
target for shooters many times. One
West Chester man declares he has seen
the turtle in the pond on different occa-
sions for a., least five years and the only
wonder is that it was never caught on
a hook by some of the anglers. It has
scars upon each leg and on the neck and
head. indicating that it has been in trou-
bic before Mr.. Ingram captured it while
II was taking n stroll.

Washington. June %. - President
Roosevelt has just issued an order to
Secretary Taft intended to right a
wrong done by army court martial
which cannot be executed without spe-
cial act of congress. Two years ago
First Lieutenant Hamilton Foley, Of
the Fifth Cavalry, stationed in the
Philippines. was tried by court martial,
charged with conduct hnbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. Foley applied
for time to procure evidence from this
country bearing on his case. His ap-
plication was denied, and he was ad-
judged guilty on every charge and dis
missed from the army. In the routine
Of business President Roosevelt ap-
proved this finding. Later Governor
Magoon, OF the Panama canal zone, re-
ported that the evidence which Foley
should have been allowed to procure
showed that he was entirely innocent
of every charge brought
On this finding President Roosevelt
has just ordered Foley reappointed 20

its the appointment of a civilian as
commissioned officer in the army unless
