NEW SOLDIERS
 ON A FOOT
Men From Arkansas Kick Doors
 and CusS Like Thunder.

Deputy Marshal Jack Robinson did not rest we'll last night. It was not be- cause his conscience troubled him, but because liquor at 9 cents per is little too skookum for chechacho soldiers to- carry around in safety.
 The new soldiers had pay day yes- terday and last nj ght some of them went around to see what they could skeer up. A residence or two on Second street was visited and one door was, kicked in. Finally Billy Leske was walked up and he engaged his visitor ill fistic combat and entertained him with Johnson swings and uppercuts till the deputy arrived. The soldier was turned into the post guardhouse.
 This morning two soldiers went to the rear of the federal jail and threw inn ported epithets at Jailer Tom Howell. The jailer locked them up and swore out a complaint against them. Later they were also taken to the military guardhouse.
 The authorities will probably be le- lient this time because the offenders are just from Arkansas; but that kind of conduct should not be allowed. say, after this spell of sloppy weather is over.
