any class of men in the world. But

purpose of paying off the troops to
take part In the camp OF instruction
at Gettysburg. A few days later
demand was made for $4,000 additional
for the artillery officers who attended
the camp at Fort Riley, making total
OF $4,000.
AS nothing was heard, a telegram
wat dispatched on June u, calling at
tention TO the requisition and asking
for information regarding 1t. This
