Samuel W. ingalls,, an inmate of the
Auburn city farm, has dramatized the
Book of Job and committed it to
memory. Mr.. ingalls, Is said to be one
of the finest elocutionists in the state
and his reading of this work gives the
nearer new idea and grander con-
ception of the bible than ever before
Some who have heard him in this
reading compare his work to that of
Booth in his best days. 1t would
seem, says the Lewiston Journal, that
some of our churches would secure
him for an evenings entertainment.
OF course. he Is not confined to the
book of Job as he Is equally familiar
with Shakespeare. Mr.. ingalls, has
been peculiarly unfortunate in many
ways as he lost one leg while stand
ing by the bedside of dying wife.
Over-exertion In his devotion to duty
brought on gangrene and the limb had
to be removed. His only son died
while serving his flag in the Philip
pines and in his old age he has been
left practically alone to battle with
fate. His only daughter is the wife
of college professor In Massa-
chusetts.

part:
1T is impossible for us to conceive OF
any reason for what is being done here,

troops from here? A large part of the
artillery was sent from here this morn
ing. What relief may we expect? Please
communicate with war department and

Gonzales on Trial

El Paso, Tex, February 25.-Abranl
Gonzales, deposed governor of Chihuahua
state. is being tried by a courtmartial. He
is charged with a revolutionary plot in
which it is alleged an attempt was TO
racks at Chihuahua city where hum
dreds of federal regular soldiers are quar-
tered. He was arrested shortly after the
sudden turn OF affairs at Mexico City,
which resulted in Madero's downfall His
trial was begun today. If convicted, his
axeoution is expected.
The federal volunteers, or ex-insurrec-
tos troops of N.aderos revolt two years
ago, appear to be resigned as to accept
ing the Huerta government without con-
test, although declining further service
under arms. The irregular soldiers of
Juarez garrison today were offered a
chance either to join the regular army or
give up their arms and return to their
homes Almost to a man they stacked
their arms. In a speech to the men Col.
Manual Lanra explained that the useful
ness of the ex-insurrecto corps had
passed.
Aside from The uprising of the volun-
teer garrison at Sauz. which resulted yes
terday in the execution of So of the mutt
neers, the Irregular troops are quiet in
other parts of the state.
The object lesson of the Sauz slaughter
is considered us responsible for the docile
attitude of the volunteers at Juarez and
at chihuahua City. However, a few OF
the corps are reported to have escaped
with their arms.
