Some of the jurors that the deputy
had subpoened were present late In

JURORS and checked them up. and put
it up to the attorneys whether they
would proceed TO try TO set the jurv

announced that the state would be
willing TO proceed and try to get tie

after a short consultation about tho
table as to the matter. and withdrew
for a further consultation. On their
return Colonel Muhphy made the am
ncnncement in court that while the
attorneys for the defense desired TO
assist in facilitating the work of the
court yet it was deemed best that
the entire venire be reported present

A few weeks ago, another train pull
ed into the yards-this one filled with

was an enormous. brown dog-the
mascot taken from the yards eight
months before.
With great ceremony, the big ami
NAL was presented to the ladies Of

be well cared for. On his back was
a white blanket bearing the follow
ing inscription: 'Honorably discharg-

As the train pulled out, soldiers

had a review. It was, to say the least,
amusing. AL members were ordered
to procure the Drill Regulation and
