braves showed desire to participate
in the contest and were permitted to

was not familiar with the present con-

In a five-mnute talk to the Progress

RoBeED OF $500; ASKS
v. s.. TO REPLACE SUM

Washington, u. G.. Aug. 25.-Nearly
a half century ago George Chorin, then
dashing young soldier in the First
Massachusetts Volunteer infantry, lost
$3.50; today he wants the government
to reimburse him and has appealed to
il through Representative Mitchell.
Chorin explains that back in the
sixties, just before his regiment was
mustered out. he was set upon by
four men of his own company while
in camp at Bunker Hill. Maryland. He
was on guard duty at the time. While
the identity of the men was known,
Chorin alleges there was no court
martial because of the disbanding Of
the regiment, which then was under
way.
