Rigors of the Siege.
Almost at once there began to be
felt within the lines the hardships of q
siege, and every day added to the diff
culties of bringing up rations.
The shorter road along the north side
of the river was soon thoroly closed by
the slaughter of the mules and drivers
by the riaemcn hidden in the thickc.s
on the south side of the stream. Wheel

ture or slaughter of hundreds of mules,
the destruction of the depot at Me-
Minnville and the wrecking of the rail-
road from Murfreesboro to Wartrace
were blows severely felt The heavy
Autumnal rains added their grievous
impediment to the passage of wagons
over the rugged trails across Walden's
Ridge, and every day saw the strin-
gency in Chattanooga perceptibly in
creased. The rations. which for a few
days had been dealt out carefully, now
began to be cut down day after day.
The animals were the first to feel the
pangs of hunger. All the forage Oil

Sequatchie Valley was speedily eX-

of the animals in camp upon which 50
much depended. Cottonwood poles
were fioated down the river to furnish
them a substitute for fodder, and
stringent orders were issued prohibiting
any mounted man from riding faster
than a walk.
Gen. Bragg was putting on all the
additional pressure that he could by
bringing up heavy guns from Atlanta
and Rome, which he mounted on Mis-

Reorenni.ins the Army. Army


Immediately after making his de-
fenses secure, ROsecrans began the re-
organization of the army, much
needed work. but involving heart
burning and bitterness from whicE
Rosecrans in his natural kind-hearted-
ness had shrunk too long. The first
thing was to get rid of the" two corps
commanders who had followed him
back to Chattanooga. Itfwas doubted
by some If Rosecrans would fhave the
hardness Of heart to do this, as he had
endured their shOrtcomingSanuch long
er than most commanders weuld have
done. The matter had now reached a
crisis which could not be overlooked.
Still, while they had left the field dur
ing the battle they could plead that
their Commanding General had also
done SO. and that they were no more
blameworthy than he. The voice of the
army could not be disregarded, how
ever, and McCook and Crittenden were
compelled to ask for Court of In
quiry, and pending their examination
they were to be relieved of command

Ex-GoYernors Death.

Boise, Idaho, Special.-It developed
that the ASSASSINATION at Caldwell of
former Governor Frank Steunenberg
with dynamite bomb was perpetra-
trated by some one person by pulling
a wire that exploded the dynamite as
the former Governor was closing the
rear gate of his home. II was at first
thought that the bomb was arranged
to explode automatically as the gate
opened. 1t also developed that two
bombs we're, both being exploded
simultaneously, by means o.: wire and

were found on the lawn. The con-
viction grows that Steunenberg was
murdered as a result of his activity

kept secret by The police, who say
