A special from Washington says,
Lieut. Geo. A. Il. Trumbo, u. S. A.,
who was sentenced by courtmartial
to be reprimanded and confined to
the limits of his station for two
months for having written a cruel
letter to the mother of one Of his
men who had deserted, is a graduate
of the high school of Tyndall, South
Dakota.
lie served during the Spanish
American val as a private, then as
a noncommissioned officer and later
as second lieutenant in the 18th
volunteer infantry, being honorablly
mustered out June 8, 1901. Febru-
airy Q, 1901, ne was appointed second
lieutenant in the Thirteenth cavalry.
In April 1905, he was promoted to a
first lieutenancy and transferred to
the Fourth cavalry. Later in the
same year he was transferred to the
Twelfth cavalry.
He is now serving at Fort Monroe,
Va, and it was from that post that
he wrote the letter which got him
into trouble. Here is what he wrote:
Mrs. Sims. C%larksburg, w. Va
Dear Madame: 1t gives me great
pleasure to inform you that your son,
Earl Sims. who is about the most
worthless scoundrel I ever saw, is
a deserter from the United States
army 1 sincerely hope to see him
behind the bars for at least two
years. Hoping this will be a ource
of coincidence to you, l am, very re-
spectfully, Geo. A. r. Trumbo, First
Lieutenant Twelfth Cavalry, Com

Gen. Fred Grant, the reviewing au-
thority, pronounced the sentence en-
tirely inadequate and said it should
have been sufficiently severe to guar
antee that an officer would not be
again guilty of such conduct.

ly twisting the crop Of his riding whip
in his hand, "but you see"- He paused
and could go no further. He was a
man who always found it easy to tell
of the good deeds of others, but baked
miserably when it came to the recital
of his own. He muttered something
in%articulate about loose stones, a mud
dy ditch and n bad fall.
Emily Lauderdale surveyed him with
cool scorn.
"For a muddy fall your coat is the
most conspicuously spotless garment
that l have ever seen," she returned
dryly.
;'Oh, 1 say" began T%ellingford, but
Emily swept past him, her head held
high. That he had not cared to win
was evident, but that he should add to
that humiliation with was
more than she could bear. She was
glad, she told herself, that it was Graf
tan Richards who had come off tri-
umphant. Yet in spite Of this gladness
there was q singing mist in her eyes
and a bitter catch in her throat as she
sat before her dressing table that night
while Katie, the maid, brushed her
hair.
Everything had gone wrong that day
in big things as well as in little. Even
the gown she had planned to wear that
evening had been left unfinished, and
she was forced to reprimand Katie
somewhat sharply.
Katie burst into tears. She had
meant to finish it, she confessed, but
that morning the child Of her sister,
who lived on the road to the village,
slipped on the muddy stones of a ditch
and broke his arm, and Katie, instead
of sewing on the gown, had gone to see
how he Jared.
You can ask Mr.. Tellingford if it's
not so. ma'am," she concluded fearful
ly. "'Twas he that found Bobby and
carried him home and went for the doc
tor a%fterward."
OF the truth Of this assertion Miss
Lauderdale questioned nothing.
do you know where Mr.. Telling
ford is now?" she demanded.
Indeed l do, ma'am. He's hidden
your aunt goodby and is halfway to
the station"
"Then tell James to saddle Dolly
Dumping instantly and bring her to
the side door,"
Katie gasped and obeyed, while EN-.
lily Lauderdale, throwing a scarf about
her shoulders, ran down the stairs tc
the driveway, her silken dinner gown
swishing at every step.
Tellingford meantime rode toward
the station, his lips set in a thin hard
line. lie found himself mentally re

been lowered to eight feet on the

Wednesday morning. During Nhe

tied and this morning the work of
dismantling the skips was com

the shaft at the earliest POSSIBLE
