good the loss TO the man who Yo!un-

Treasury Department says there is no
law under which Mr. Nesbitt can re-
cover for the loss OF his drum.
And now the Michigan soldier is on
still hunt for the officer who has in
his possession the instrument which
he was commanded to turn over In the
spring of 1899.
