Forty Third Annual Parade of Grand

HEAT CAUSES GREAT SUFFERING
Twenty old Soldiers and About Hun-

Flag AXE from
street.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Aug. 11.-Mid-
summer heat thinned the annual parade
OF the Grand Army of the Republic, the
feature Of the forty-third reunion today,
and wrought stu more suffering among
the hundreds of children who participated
In the formation Of the living flag. So op-
pressive was the heat that the plan Of
calling for the living flag in the procession
was abandoned.
At least 100 children and twenty old SOL
diers welO taken from the street. Many
Of the victims, young and old, recovered
as soon as they were placed in the shade.
Those treated at the emergency stations
numbered about forty, fifteen Of them
Grand Army men and thirty children. There
were no fatalities.
Tire relief stations, attended by trained
nurses, insured prompt and capable aid
for all sufferers. The hours of the parade
were the hottest hours of the hottest day
since the beginning Of the eucampment.
At II o'clock, when the column got under
way, the weather bureau thermometer reg
istered IS degrees. Notwithstanding the
discomfort the parade was a success. The
s. 900 and more old soldiers, walking fouI
abreast, had the complete right-of-way
FulIy 1000 persons saw, or tried to see,
the spectacle.
The Nebraska delegation carried ears OF
yellow corn. The Minnesotans were bear
ers Of sheafs OF wheat and the Greer
Mountain boys of Vermont wore sprigs Of
pine in their hat bands.
Arkansas had the distinction of sending
the smallest division-there were but foul
wearers of its badge. Illinois made thu
largest numerical showing.
At the rear came a little band whose
banners evoked the darkest pictures of thu
great civil war. on the white background
the watchers read: Libby" Anderson
Vile" Macon" Tyler" Belle Isle" and
the names of other confederate prisons
The division consisted Of the former prison

threats to fire and shots.
Before the shooting he CTodd) had seen
Lieutenant Rocker pass the guard room.
After the shooting, he said, Lieutenant
Rocker came into the guard room and
said: MY God, Archie, I've been shot"
The finding of the bullet followed. The
witness had heard four shots fired. He
acknowledged having said he had often
wondered why he was not summoned. He

Mr.. Birney took the witness in detail

vicinity of the camp toward the bridge
over College creek. After the shooting
he saw Lieutenants Adams and Osterman

response to questions of Mr.. Davis, Todd
said that 1t was Lieutenant Adams, who
asked the witness rif he had any spare
guns" saying there was trouble. in the
camp and ne wanted them for protection.
Osterman said nothing whatever. Two
shots preceded the first cry to halt, which

sergeant of the guard, and he aroused him
as soon as ne heard the first two shots.
The other two shots had beer fired before
Mahoney started in the direction from
which the noise of the shots came. He had
gone only a short distance when witness
heard some one challenge Mahohey and tell
him the trouble was all over and that he
might as we'll return to his room.
When the witness put on the desk the
bullet thar struck Rocker, Lieutenants
Adams, Willing. Bevan and others were
in the room of the officer of the day.
Rocker said nothing whatever as to how
or where he had been shot and, the witness
averred, made no attempt to find out. Todd
said he did not hear until next morning
that Lieutenant Sutton had been shot. He
was not asked by any one II he knew any
thing of the trouble. The first time, wit
ness SAID. that any one had told him that
any Information he had was wanted was
when a newspaper man did so at Wake
field, Mass, yesterday. TO the Judge
advocate the witness said he understood
tha his superior officers having knowI-

did not require him to make further report
