Officer Charged With Graft.

A dispatch from Washington says:
An echo OF the reg arrisoning OF Fort
Assinniboine has come from the war
department in the shape OF the record
of q court martial recently held at the
fort. When the order for the re.
garrisoning of the abandoned fort
was given and the troops took charge,
the commanding officer instructed
Post Quartermaster Sergeant Henry
F. FREEDMAN to secure estimates for
plumbing work at the fort.
FREEDMAN is alleged to have con-
spired with q plumber Of Havre to
Oh arge the government $3.50 for this
work. when, as a matter of fact. 1t
would only be worth $3.50, the purpose
being to divide the $500 difference be-
tween the two as a ''rake-otf." The
court martial acquitted Friedman on
the ground that witnesses were allow
ed TO testify to certain statements
made out of court aud not in presence
OF the court, and also because the
the record of the case was badly con.
fused and kept.
