the Union armies roughly in
the following positions: Gen

the lid in Baltimore, which was yet
under martial law; General Butler was
at Fortress Monroe still-very still. as
certain famous Democrat said of
himself some decades later; General
Mcdowell was just getting ready to
move against Beauregard at Manassas.
The date for this advance was set
originally for July 8, but was delayed
awaiting additional troops and sup

make up his mind whether or not to
attack Johnston. 1t may be remarked
In passing that he never did make up
his mind until 1t was too late and
Johnston had escaped to Manassas to

FATHER HERE

The father of Mrs. Richard A.

come to the rescue of his daughter
who is charged with murder in the
first degree. The fathers name is
Hans Noble and he resides in" Unity,
Wis, near Eau Claire.
A hearing will be given the young
woman this afternoon before Judge
Pollock in the district court. Arthur
w. Cupler of Pierce, Tenneson & Cup
Ter, will defend the girl by appoint
ment of the court. 1t is probable he
will place on the witness stand Mr..
NOBLE, Deputy Sheriff Bingham and
Undertaken Wasem, who went along
to Wisconsin to make the arrest of
the young couple.
From the story told by Scheutte
himself yesterday on the witness stand
his young wife had no actual part in
the murder of their child, though she
was aware that the act was being
committed and was therefore a party
to the deed. 1t is believed she will be
freed.
