Both sides have sent for reinforce

before they could strengthen, federals

ARMY FOLLOWERS
APECULIAR CLASS

San Antonio, Texas, March 81
That some men make the army thel1
calling for life is forcefully brought
out by the presence of r. F. Arte
burn, who is with the army at Fort
Sam Houston. Arteburn is assistant
wagon master with the 18th infantry
and occupies a unique position. He
began his work as mule skinner
during the rebellion and is the only
man now in the service who was
with Sherman on the march from At
lanta to the sea in 1864. During these
lamentable days of shot and shell
fire and devastation, when the north
ern army was sweeping practically
unapposed over a stretch of country
sixty miles wide from Atlanta to the
ocean, Arteburn was driving a six
mule team, He is now sixty.six years
old but appears less than fifty, after
forty years of continuous service as
a wagner. Born and reared In Hli'
nois, he enlisted in the 18th Illinois
infantry in 1862. He was Immediately
ordered to Louisville and shortly af'
terwards was captured by that gal
liant Southern cavalry COMMANDER,
Gen. John H. Morgan. Later he was
paroled and subsequently returned to
the service, when he was assigned to
Sherman's army. He likes to tell
stories of the old days and make com
parisons between the army of today
and that of 1876. While he is q
most pronounced federal, he is ready
to resent at any time any uncomph'
mentary remark made about the dash
ing cavalry officer who captured him
early in his military career, and to
him John H. Morgan was an ideal
commander and soldier.

Exhaustive preliminary statement OF
the charges against Judge John r.
Cowan of the Second judicial district,
which the prosecution expects to sub
stantiate by evidence introduced in
the trial before the state senate, was
made today before the impeachment
ccurt by Attorney George A. Bangs,
for the prosecution. His address was

case very completely.
Charges of drunkenness in public
places, drunkenness in court rooms so
serious that delay in cases resulted,
that he went asleep on the bench.
that he frequented places notorious
for their violation OF the prohibition
law, and that he violated his oath of
office in failing to do his duty in pros
ecution of such offenders, that he was
guilty Of gross delay in making decis'
ions in cases, and that he was guilty
Of serious offenses against public NOR
ais and decency, will be substantiated
Bangs declared, by an array OF wit
nesses that will include counsel in
cases before the Judge, clerks in plac

chased liquor. witnesses, jurors and
litigants in court before him, as well
as others who observed public drunk

Bismarck Attorney Put up a
Stro:g Fight for Accused
Indian Murderer gets Sixteen
Years in Penitentidfy
ESPECIAL To The Tribune.)

Mnot, N. D., March 3l-Joseph Pei
tier, the half breed Indian, was found
guilty this morning of murder in the
second degree, and sentenced for six
teen years in the penitentiary for the
burder of F. w. Seidel, in the Turtle
mountains.
In the first trial Pelticr was found
guilty of murder in the first degree,
and sentenced to be hanged, so that
the present trial is considered victory
for the defense. Although the defend
ant was tried for murder in the first
degree, the jury found him guilty of
murder in the second degree.
Attorney +. r. Mockler of Bismarck,
made mastery plea for the defendant,
calling attention to various discrepancies
in the stories of the states witnesses
and raising the question OF reasonable
doubt. 1t is thought that the reason
able doubt played heavily with the jury
! and probably accounted for the exten'
uated verdict and sentence.

eighth Charge
ELIMINATED IN
C0WaN'S trial
All Evidence Regarding Ac'
tionS Towards Attorney
and Litigants
Opening Charges Of Prose
Cution to be Made at
Afternoon Session

Judge John +. Cowan will not be
tried upon charges contained IN the
eighth charge of articles of specltlca-
tons exhibited against him by the house
of representatives, the question beng
determined this morning after arg1l-
ments extending over an hour and
half.
The charges in question are to the
effect that Judge Cowan acted grossly
unjust in court toward Jurles, toward
witnesses and toward litigants and
counsel, being general in tornl ana
demurred on the the ground that they
failed to set forth any specific instance
upon which to base allegations:
In the fight that closed over that tea
,ture of the articles today, there was no
little eloquence, and Tracy Bangs, coun-
sci for the defendant, for the first time
referred to the political feature of the
case, by declaring that the prosecution
of Judge Cowan had been brought about
because of political disturbances and for
the purpose of removing a factor IN
politics.
When the vote was taken, Senators
Allen and Bessesen, both voting IN
the negative or against sustaining the
demurrer, explained their votes. with
the result that halt was called IN the
proceedings to the extent of making 1t
the sense of the senate that explana-
tions on votes be done away with, mas
much as such explanations would neces-
sarily mean an argument.
In favor of sustaining demurrer and
striking out charges in question. Baker,
