HONOR FOR INDIAN FIGHTER
Body Of Captain Crawford Will Be
Buried in Arlington.
NOW IN OBSCURE KEARNEY GRAVE
General Morton, who with Captain
Crawford Fought Under Crook,
IL Responsible for This
Tribute.

The body Of Captain Emmet Crawford,
Third United States cavalry, now buried
at Kearney, is to-be removed to Arlington
National cemetery, near Washington, d.
c., through the interest and comradeship
OF Brigadier General Charles Morton, COM
mander Of the Department of the Missouri.
Captain Emmett Crawford was one Of
General George Crooks soldiers and was
with him during many stirring campaigns
against the Apaches in Arizona. He was
killed in an action with the Chiracahua In
dlans rear Nacori, Sonora, Mexico, in 1886.
while in pursuit Of that body Of Indians
from one Of their raids into Arizona
Prior to this time Captain Crawford had
invested in some property in Kearney, and
expressed a wish to be buried there, where
he intended to make his home after leav-
ing the army. He was a bachelor, having
no family other than a brother. According
to his request, his body was taken to
Kearney for interment. In the lapse of
years the grave has been permitted to go
into decay, with no one to take any inter-
est in its preservation there. In the mean
while the bodies of the officers who fell
in that and other contemporary actions,
including the body of General Crook. have
long since been removed to the cemetery
at Arlington and a suitable monument
marks their achievements
General Morton, also one OF General
Crooks men, feeling that the almost I'M
known grave of Captain Crawford merited
more than %obscurity, enlisted the services
Of Senator Brown in the matter and has
Just been delighted with the announcement
from the War department that steps will
at once be taken to disinter the body OF
Captain Crawford at Kearney and have II
properly buried beside his old commander,
General Crook and comrades at Arlington.

Fort Monroe, Va, and TO purchase two
balloons of the type Of the R~epublique. the
immense dirigible built blythe French gov
eminent TO replace the La Patrie, which
was lost at Verdun. France. last winter.
A balloon of this size would cost about
$4,000. General Allen is of the opinion
that two OF these ships at each balloon
station would be Of great service in ward
ing off an attack by warships. For the
last year OF more General Allen has been
engrossed with the study of aerial naviga-
uJn and its possibilities in the army.
The generals desk is covered with ex-
tracts from foreign and American publlca.
