lNsuL1ED HIS COLONEL.
An offense For Which q French Sol
dier Had to Die.

BY deliberately insulting a superior
officer at a court martial French
soldier at Lille incurred the death PEN
atty. The incident is deplorable one
The fact that the officers had to con-
denim the man Is likewise painful, but
the military regulations were plain
and left no alternative.
A dragoon in one Of the regiments
at Lille was being tried before court
martial. Another dragon of the same
regiment, who was undergoing arrest
for some other fault. was summoned
as a witness. When this dragon en-
tered the room Of the court martial he
was asked by the presiding colonel to
take of his cap. The man took this IN
bad part and flung his cap at the colo
mel. following it up with a storm OF
abusive language.
When lie had finished. the colonel.

ONE ON TRACTION COMPANY
Settles Long Dispute as TO Who Shall
Build New Bridge.

Battle Creek, Mich. June 20-The
village OF Augusta has had its troubles
with the NJ. IT, T. and just at present
the village solons are putting one over
on the corporation. they think. In
Augusta the interurban crosses the
mill race on the public bridge. For
years this bridge has been in a dan
gerous condition, but the NJ. II. T. OF.
ficials and the township board could
never agree on the question OF either
repairing the bridge or building an
entire new one
This summer the board grew weary
OF waiting and decided 10 put IN
new concrete structure. But the In.
terurban did not benefit by tho i'm
provement In reality the builders
are putting up two bridges. one on
each side OF the old one. The tracks
are left undisturbed while the old
bridge has been cut away on each
side. In a few weeks general traffic
will cross the mill race on two bridges,
while the heavy nterurban cars Will
cross on what remains OF the old struc-
ture.
