exercise of the morning closed with a
| practice dress parade.
The drilling, with intervals Of rest,
| had occupied three hours and a half,
! and it was with much satisfaction that

O'Clock, noon. Now ensued period of
rest for the men, but officers school
opened at go, and then it was not the
enlisted men who We're getting

Altogether, the camp is pretty
strenuous proposition for all hands.
That was the burden of the messages
that were borne back home on pict-
u1e post cards and in letters that were
written to mothers, wives and sweet
hearts during the afternoon
There was one source of satisfac tion
ard that was that the weather was
not so warm as on the previous day.
1t was not an unmiXed blessing. how
ever, as most of the signs Went to in
dictate an approaching storm which it
is hoped will pass the State muster by
On the other hand, it is not a collec-
ton of fair weather soldiers that is
collected in Camp Cobb, and perhaps
'just a little" rain would add that ele-
ment Of ''roughirg it," which would
enable the boys to tell gleeful tales of
discomfort when they return to their
native heath-perhaps
All of the tents have plank floors
and the muster field, as is we'll known,
is a big sandy hill dumped by a glacier
ages ago which lets the water trickle
through it like sieve. OF course
deluge of rain would bring it's dis
comforts, as those who have attended
some muSterS in the past are we'll
aware; but there is nothing that the
boys are getting now that would not
come their way if they We're in actual
serviCe--nothing unless it be the mat
tresses and pillows with which the
tents are furnished.
And right on this point there is an
old story. handed down from man to
man for many musters in the past. 1t
runs something as follows: An adju-
! tant general of the State of Maine was
inspecting the stOrehouses on the field
few weeks before the time of mus
ter. Suddenly his eye caught sight of
big pile of objects in the farthest end
of one of the StorehouSeS.
What's those" asked the adjutant
general
Mattresses sir

The ;djutant general continued his

the adjutant general, and he refused to
have anything further to do with the

Swinemunde, Aug. 4.-Emperor

forts here just before he departed on
his trip to Sweden.
The Emperor accompanied by sever
al officers, the entire party being In
civilian dress, approached the entrance
to the West Battery where the sentry
prevented their further progress
His Majesty was much amused and
again vainly tried to pass Then he
said to the sentry:
You must let me enter. Don't you
know me? / am the Emperor"
The sentry then looked more close
ly at the Emperor, not quite re-assur-

Majesty's features. as he presented
arms and allowed him to pass.
The Emperor reported the occur

the fort, praising the soldiers sense
of duty and recommending his pro-

time lacking slowly away from Strout.
Mrs. Perkins said that in the excite
ment the gun was discharged and a
big hole was torn in Strout's chest
between the lungs and the liver. The
gun was fired at such close range that
the shot did not scatter but inflicted
terrible wound from which Strout
died in short time.
Perkins is the son Of respectable peo-
pie. His father at one time was en-

The coroner's jury reported verdict
that StrOut came to his death by a
wound inflicted by shot gun held in
the hands of John Perkins and direct

At the conclusion of the investigation
warrants We're sworn out by County
Attorney Frank Morey for the arrest
of John Perkins and his father, George
w. Perkins, on the charge of murder
They We're taken into custody ami ar

Milett at Mechanic Falls, who bound
them over to the September term of
the supreme court and ordered them
committed to the Auburn Jail without

entered
The shooting was done in supposed
selfdefence in the opinion of the Of
ficers who stated that the boy was told
to shoot by his father and that he did
SO as he thought Strout was going to
shoot him and was badly frightened
The boy said he thought he had to
shoot when his father told him to do
SO.
The officers learned that Strout was
considered a troublesome neighbOr and
the two families had not been on good
terms for some time, also that he had
threatened to shoot both father and
son. The father is about IS years old
The shooting was witnessed by the
victims wife in whose arms he died.
