William B. Loy, a private of the ~ccoud company, Coast artillery corps s.atIoned at Fort Wright, who was arrested by Policeman Ferguson, charged with the theft of a watch ta!ued at SIS, was arraigned before Jadge Williams in the Third district court, Wednesday. Loy said he did not know what to say to the customary query, guilty or not guilty? He said he, was drunk and did not have any knowledge of taking the watch and did not know how it came into his possession and that he knew no more of the transaction than did the man in the moon. He was very sorry to be mixed up in the matter as it meant being kicked out of the service when his record had been good. He said that he and Pickering were friends and had been drinking together and he could not imagine why he took the Uatch. if he really did take it. He realized what il all meant for him when he got back to the post. He said that if he took the watch he could not conceive what possessed him to take it, and that if he did take it he did not know it.
 Loy is only eighteen, his next birth day being January IT and he had been in the service two years. He said that his parents had been divorced in In diana and that he then wanted to join tine army and leave home and his father had certified that he was of the required age to enlist He said he had never been in any trouble of this kind before and had no idea of court procedure and did not know what to do.
 Judge Williams explained the seri- ouSnesS of the charge and was will ing to give the boy soldier an oppor- unity to secure legal advice before entering a plea and the case was tenn porari1y passed.
 Loy secured Attorney George R. Mo Kenna as counsel. It is probable that the charge will be changed to intoxi- cation as it is difficult to determine whether the watch was taken in Con- nectfcIt or Rhode Island and whether LOy or one of his comrade soldiers really took the watch. Although the watch was found in Loy's pocket it could have easily been placed there without his knowledge by others in the party.
 A young fellow who gave his name as Charles mcAVoy and Milford, Mass, AS his home, was arrested as a sneak thief by Patrolman Nicholas in Paw eatIck. Tuesday evening.

 He was seen to enter the Sti1lnan avenue house by the head of the house l who was at work in the back yard | and who supposed that McAvoy was a peddler.

So I would shampoo with canthroX at least once a month regain it's healthy gloss and evenness of color. A teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup hot water is quite enough mixture for thorough sham poo, and after rinsing well, the hair dries very quickly.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 5.--It was
much harder getting away from the
Gettysburg battlefield today than IL
was for either the armies of the

that the officials In charge Of working
out the problem saw little hope of
moving all Of the veterans before late

There were more than 10000 vet
Grams and hundreds Of spectators
here today. Most OF them remained
quietly in the camp, but enough came
into the village to clog progress.
Trains were being moved from the
village depot and also from the two
spur tracks which run into the camp.
BY order OF Maj Normoyle, every one
of the regular army soldiers who
could be spared was on duty at the
tracks seeing that the veterans got
the right trai nand that none were
injured in the confusion.
While Il has been officially an
nounced that the last meal TO be
served in the camp will be breakfast
tomorrow morning, this. 1t Is ex-
planned. means the last meal prepared
by the hired cooks. The regular army
cooks will take care OF all veterans
until they can get train for home.
Blankets have been collected from all
OF the vacated tents, and the work OF
breaking camp is well under way.

were quiet until yesterday. After
their difference with the police, they
ran riot through the town. A news
