HAUSTED.

doors and with no eye to mark whe h
er play was fair or foul, two soldiers,
Corporal James Smith and Private Ar
thur Rector fought out srudge with
sword bayonets in their barracks at
Fort Howard. Rector was badly cut
abou, the legs and back, but Smith
escaped with a cash under the eye.
Seventeen stitches were taken in one
OF the wounds in Rectors leg, and
twenty-one in another Their feud
dated from a dance of last Thanksgiv-
ing day. when they quarreled about
a woman.
Smith was in The barracks alone in
g remote room. Rector entered and
locked the door. There was no need
for speech. Both knew the time had
come for settlement. and they were
ready and eager. Smith was bred in
the mountains of Kentucky, and Rec
tor was reared in North Carolina.
The first their messmates knew of
the fight was when they heard sounds
of the conflict in the room. They
burst in the door and found the cor.
testants on the floor in a deadlock,
each striving for the throat grip,
which meant victory. Eoth were prac-
tically exhausted.

FICE-WAS EASY WORK.

No warrant has been issued as yet
for W. r. McBrine, who is suspected
OF having secured at least $4,000 OF
the states money through the agency
Of raised warrants.
Former State Auditor NJ. Il. Trap
has placed all the information in his
possession before Governor Lee Cruce.
Auditor Leo Meyer stated Wednesday
evening that he has placed the matter
in the hands of the governor, who in
turn insists it is up to the local Off
cials TO issue the warrant and make
an attempt to locate the missing man.
No further Irregularities in the ac-
counts of the auditors office have
been brought to light, but Mr. Trapp
still declares that he has $4,000 worth
of the raised warrants spotted. If
more than the $4,000 known to have
been secured on raised claims for the

Cruce.
More warrants might have been
torn from a blank book, the proper
names forged to them and the money
gotten by discounting them" said Gov
ernor Cruce Wednesday. Whoever
the operator was, he might have got
ten much more money than he did,
for the warrants and claims might
have been raised $1,000 as easily as
81 900. 1t was "A physical impossibility
under the old system for the auditor

all the claims and warrants presented
