Campaign of the War Was Already Outlined

holding Manassas was thereby made
graver.
For this reason and the fact. now
clear that the first great battle of the
war must be fought between Alexandria
and Manassas, President Davis and
General Lee were prepared to send to
the latter point new commander train

izing troops. This was Gen. p. G. t.
Beauregard, a former engineer officer
Of the United States army. who had
commanded at Charleston and reduced
Fort Sumter.
Before General Beauregard's first or
ders were issued General Lee visited
Manassas. on May $50 years ago to-
day-and rode over the ground that In
less than two months was to become
known as the battlefield of Bull Run.
His practiced eye detected the weak

several fords. and to protect them

WEAKNESS OF BULL RUN.


General Lees estlmate OF the strength
of Bull Run was shared by General
Beauregard, who arrived about this
time and made a careful inspection OF
the ground before formally taking COM
mand at Manassas.
In his report to President Davis he de-
clared that the fords on the stream tare
so numerous and so far apart that a
much larger force than have here al

or 1900 mem could not hope to defeno
them all against a we'll organized enemy
of about 20,.-- men who could select his
point of attack.
IT must, therefore, be reinforced at
once" he continued, ''as have not
more than about 5000 effective men, or
/ must be prepared TO retire upon the
approach of the enemy in the direction
of Richmond, or / must march to meet
him at one of the fords and sell our
lives dearly"
The Confederate generals estimate OF
90 900 men as the force that might be
sent against him showed how closely
the southern leaders gagged their oppo-
nent's strength for a battle weeks In
advance of the event. The Union force
lin the battle of Bull Run was to be
about that number.
While there was little comfort to
Generals Lee and Beauregard in the
country in which they must make their
stand, there was scarcely more In the
condition of their troops.
General Beauregard described his
command as badly armed and badly
equipped" with several regiments hav-
ling "but one or two field officers. :
Their camp was in open country, and
too large to be easily defended without
extensive earthworks. These he began
to throw up.

fcssed to numbering Stephen Frazier a
week ago Sunday in BOX Elder canyon
south Of Maxwell, entered plea Of guilty
In tho district court to the charge OF
murder in the first degree. Judge Grimes
advised him that under his plea he could
be sentenced to be hanged or to serve a
term II life Imprisonment In the penl-
Tertiary and asked him II he desired to
still plead guilty. He said he did and
was not disturbed at all with the situa-
ton. Judge Grimes then sentenced him
to the penitentiary for life and to pay
the costs Of the prosecution. He seemed
to be more disturbed about paying the
costs than anything else. for he asked
what that meant and said he did not
have any money. Ever since he has
been arrested and confessed the crime he
has slept we'll and eaten hearty meals.
At no time has he seemed to be worried
as TO the outcome of the matter or to
have felt the least remorse or regret.
His actions have puzzled the officers
who have been compelled TO deal with
him and none of them have been able
TO understand him. He said he was %

Dr.. Cook S Proofs
Missing in North

COPENHAGEN, Oct. S-A message re-
ceived here from Greenland says that
Knud Rasmussen. the Danish explorer,
failed to discover any traces of Captain
Elmar Mikkelsen and his companions
who, after having been rescued on the
coast of East Greenland last year, left
their party to search for traces OF the
lost explorer, Erichsin. Rasmussen ex-
presses fear that Mikkelsen and his party
have persisted.
Fruehen, another Danish explorer, who
accompanied Rasmussen, obtained from
Cooks Eskimo Asst Etukishuk, the box
which Cook alleged contained the instru-
ments and papers which would prove his
polar discovery claims. The box con-
tanned only a broken sextant and other
instruments, but no papers. According
to Fruehen, Etukishuk said Cooks story
of his trip to the pole was absolutely
untrue.
