SOLDIERS OF CAMP DOUGLAS ROW WHEN
 FULL OF BAD LIQUOR
General Row Is Had Sunday
 Afternoon When Several SuC-
 Ceed in Buying Poor Whisky; One Handled Roughly.

DOUGLAS, July 12-"Rotgut' whis- ky smuggled into Camp Douglas by bootleggers was the cause of a row between soldiers of the Sixth field artillery and the Eighteenth infantry last evening, as the result of which one artilleryman was smashed over the nose by sergeant of the guard yielding a gun There were no other casualties, although by the time the story of the fracas reached town it was rumored that one inlantryman had died from his injuries and that several had been injured and that more than 100 men participated in the fight Half a dozen soldiers are in the guard house today sobering up and repenting of their breach of dis cipline
 According to the story told by of- dcers of the artillery regiment the trouble started when an iniantryman came into the artillery camp with three bottles of booze concealed in his blouse. Several other infanJry-men we're with him The artilerymen took the liquor from the visitors and then booted them out of camp, it is aid. A little later in the afternoon, .he row was started afresh when an artiueryman fell of a bicycle in camp, and Che guard was called out to re- store order. About ten men partici- pated It was all done quietly how ever, and most of the men and ofh- cers in camp knew nothing about it..
 One of the artiuerymen involved was struck over the head by a douehboy" provost guard down town some time ago and his scalp was split open. Since that time there appears to have been some enmity between certain number of the Eighteenth and the Sixth. Ordinarily, however the regiments have been friendly the artil ierymen having done much to make the Eighteenth boys comfortable when they arrived in the cold and wet in
 Naco last winter.
 Booze was the main cause of the trouble and the officers at the camp
 are anxious Co prevent any more of
 it reaching camp. In spite of boot leggers whisky, the camp has been very quiet and free from disturbances
 ever since the soldiers arrived, all | things considered.

ALABAMA MAN GIVES
 HIMSELF UPj WANTS
 TO FACE THE MUSIC'
Ed N. Winters, for Many Years a Revenue Agent in Alabama and Under Indictment There, Gives up to Officers.

Ed N. Winters, for over ten years a member of the United States revenue force for the Northern District of Ala bama. and recently indicted in Mont gomery for alleged frauds, the exact nature of which are unknown in Bis bee either by the defendant or by the United States marshal walked into Deputy United States Marshal James McDonald's office Sunday and gave himself up.
 Winters is a Southerner. He has a pleasant twang in a well modulated voice He has many years experience in the revenue work behind him, all of which stand to his credit Since the change of the last administration Winters and a great many others of the official family, formerly holding office under civil service. lost their commissions
 The defendant though nominally un der arrest, is not experiencing the de- tention that most arrested men have. He is in Deputy McDonald's care and goes and comes at will.
 After completing his work for the government as a regular employee, Winters did several special assign ments. Later the work became slack and he came west He landed in Mia mi and went to work for one of the copper companies there. It was in Miami that he heard of the arrest of another man in Alabama, one of his closest associates and friends. He re. alized or felt that he would probably feel the federal aN sooner or later.
 According to the defendants own statement, his first idea was to run. He then considered the fact that he had always borne an excellent reputa. ton in Montgomery. He has children in that city and after he had been in Mexico a week. safe from the federal warrants and search, he decided to return to the United States and go back to his home town with the idea of facing the music and straighten ing anything that needed straightening and paying for anything that he was guilty of.
 In the revenue service, such as Win ters was a member of, the enmity of great many people was incurred Winters job was the hunting out oI illicit stills and blind Tigers Ir prosecuting these cases 1t would nee essarily follow that a great many of the men would have it in' for him The fact of the matter is that upon numberless occasions charges have been filed in Washington against tho revenue agent in this and other instaI ces and were Subsequently disproyen It is the opinion of Winters that { number of these charges have beeI brought before the Federal Grand Jurl in Montgomery and the indictmenti returned upon them.
 "I desire to get back to Montgom cry as fast as possible" said Winter last night of there is anything against me there l want to see what l is and get rid of it as fast as possible I am going to waive all eXtraditol here.'

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam with the pledge that she would be his helpmeet and with this order Of com panionship. civilization has lowered to its greatest heights. In this rela- tionship.

 Woman, remember that the lsraehte scorned a divine covenant and as a result wandered forty years in the wilderness without God. Likewise man should remember that 1t is a dangerous thing to debase woman by law.
