form Of telegram sent a few days
ago Ia President GUmpcrs of the Am

mp and given widespread publicity
throughout the country.
TIL" charges are that the soldiers

sautng and abusing families and
strikers, that a man was shot i'm the
back while peaceably on his way home,
and that the soldiers have been guilty
of assaultinu young girls To the first
three of these charges General Abbey
has given the direct lie. He states that
he Enows absolutely that the charges
are false. As To the last charge, Gen
cral Abbey says that he has had no in
formation to that effect, and has asked
Nh Walker for direct proof This, ac-
Cordng tu Walker, who left for the
west during the week, may he forth

that there are not many, especially in
this part of the country, who will take

the charICs have been published
broadcast over the entire country must
mean that there are some who believe
that the militia of our state is com

country at large wants To know the
