 PHOENIX INSURANCE COM PANY-The telegraph news of yester- day morning reciting the discovery of irregularities in the management of the Phoenix Insurance company. or rather involving the private operations of at least one of it's officials. was rather disquieting to William Fickas and Dwight E. Heard for few hours. They are the local representatives of the company and have much in- terested clientele. Later in the day, however, both agencies received teleG- raphic advices that the company will be reorganized at once, and that thereafter it will be stronger finan- cially than before. which is quite re- assuring to all concerned.
 A VICTORY FOR BOTH-The case of w W Dobson and others, against James Johnson was tried yesterday before Judge Kent. This is suit growing out of the affairs of the Utah canal The defendant who had been an officer of the canal for several years. but was afterwards retired, owned an area of land through which the canal ran. He permitted the pas sage of the water. but would not al low the zanjero or other servants of the company on his land for any pur- pose. They were thus unable to clean the canal or do the many other things necessary to be done. It was com plained that when they insisted. they had been stood off with a shot gun After the hearing Judge Kent decided that the company should have recog nized right of way along the canal through the lands of the defendant but that the defendant might have gate at either end and that the ser wants of the canal company should be required to open and close the gate. The defendant said he was satisfied with such an adjudication of the af- fair.

He picked out OF the m FIVE men who
had some music in their souls and provided
them with instruments.
When the British officers arrived and pre-
liminary courtesies had been exchanged they
were shown into a banquet hall with a table
In It's center glittering with silver and with
cut glass. The red-coats ate of delicacies and
OF substantiels that none of them thought
could be found nearer than New York, and
they drank wine OF the kind that needs no
bush.
There were two walters for every guest,
and five enlisted men fiddled away and blew
at their instruments throughout the 20
courses of the dinner. There were toasts and
toasts and toasts, and ii was not all over until
about an hour after the host had excused him
self temporarily to attend reveille roll call.
Then came the cold gray light of the week
after. The joy of remembrance of the ban
quet had kept Lieut.. FitzGerald's heart up for
the week that had passed. Then the bills
came in from San Francisco. In amount they
were 81 400. Second Lieut.. FitzGerald's ban
quet had cost 5000 a plate.
If the lieutenant should pay the bills the
banquet would mean bankruptcy. The com
handing officer of the island post passed a
night In thought. In the morning there was a
look OF relief upon his face. In an hours time

The records were looked up and Il was
found that the man was what he declared him.
self to be-a deserter. and nothing less. He
was locked In the guardhouse to await trial.
and the waiting was not long. for a court-mar-
tial was convened and the result Of the ofh-
GERS deliberations was a sentence OF four
years in Fort Leavenworth for the prisoner.
Then 1t was that the d~eserter began to
think he had been a fool to give himself up
and he began to think of something else A.

when the prisoner sat down in has cell and
wrote a letter to Mrs. Benjamin Harrison.

oner of the deserter said that he had been
allowed to read the letter before Il was sent
to Washington and that It was such an appeal

rison was told how hard II was to be In prison
during the glad Christmastide. when the world
was bright from the reflection Of happy faces,
and when. IL ever. pardon should come to the
erring.
The presidents wife received the letter
and was so touched that she made 1t a point
at once to interest her husband In the case.
The result was that President Harrison par
doned the prisoner. The young fellow was
released and by permission he stayed around
the barracks at Fort Sheridan a few hours
before leaving for Chicago.
When he left he carried away all the
money which a sergeant OF F company had
been saving for a year to use on furlough. Tho

That deserter never was caught, and as far
as 1t Ia known he never again gave himself
up to the authorities. There WAS more than q
rumor at the time. however. that two enlisted
men In the United States army saw to It that
the tale OF the deserter's deeds was sent to
the White House in order that the presidents
wife might learn that even a woman and 4
presidents wife may sometimes mistake hu-

The United States was represented by one
company of the old Ninth infantry, command
ed by Second Lieut.. Michael FITZGERALD. Fitz.
Gerald was the only American commissioned
officer In the field. Not far away from his
headquarters were two companies of British
regulars with a full complement of officers.

The British and American garrhsons were
only a few miles apart. When Lieut.. Fitz-
Gerald finally became comfortably fixed In his
quarters and was feeling the full weight OF
being not only company commander but com
handing officer of a United States garrison as
well. he was called upon in turn by each of
the halfJozen relocated officers stationed be
yopd the hill. FitzGerald returned the calls
promptly and shortly thereafter he was in
vited to dine with the six Englishmen as his
hosts.
At that dinner the American lieutenant
was entertained royalty. There was nothing
in the British garrison that was too good Tor
him. and, as the veterans say today, "F1tz-
Gerald afterward told his comrades In the
states. 1T was a wet night"

and three weeks had passed away ne MADE up

found time aside from his soldier duties to

Major Bourke was an active member at
one time Of the American association which
makes folklore study a specially. He was In
terested not only in the inherited tribal tales
of the Sioux and the Apache, but he took
within his study scope the folklore OF all prim-

Into the side of the great stone monument

which stands near Major Bourke's grave In
Arlington cemetery is set a bronze panel show

OF the army officers shown are portraits. One

IL takes only a casual reader OF the army
orders which are published daily in Washing
ton to make IL known that more than one de-
serter who has been caught succeeds In escap-
ing the punishment due him by sheer force OF
the pleas, pathetic and otherwise. which
friends make for him. Occasionally there are
extenuating circumstances even in the cases
of deserters; but desertion Is desertion. no
matter how II is viewed, and clemency is not
looked upon with favor by either regimental
or company commanders, and In truth the de-
serters generally escape punishment. when
they do escape, through the soft-heartedness
of civilian secretaries of war.
1t is said that occasionally deserters write
to the wife Of the president of the United
States asking that she intercede for them with
her husband. This plan worked once, but II
