AqI PEACOCK $
 SOLDIER Nc. YET
 AT BEN|C|A, CAL

Arthur V. Heacock, former news paperman and gas boat operator of the Fairbanks district, who joined the army during the early stages of the war, writing from Benecia arsenal, California, says he is still soldering, but is counting the days as they go by, hoping that his dis charge, for which he has made ap- lication, will be soon forthcoming.
 Art is post printer at the arsenal, and as such, does not have as hard work as the rest of the men of his company, and now that the armis- tice has been signed and there would appear to be no further necessity for a large army, the re- straint imposed by army regulations on one who, like Art, is used to the carefree life of the North, would appear to be particularly galling.
 He says that he finds it hard to get reconciled to what he terms the California spirit and the ways of the Outside, and he fervently hopes to be back among his friends in the North soon.
 The restrictions placed on the men at Benicia arsenal would ap- pear to be of much more strict nature than usually obtains in mili- tary encampments, presumably ow- ing to the fact that the men are quartered at an arsenal The new regulations issued by the command ing officer for the post are as follows:
 Benicia Arsenal, California Detachment Orders No. l. All men assigned to or at tached to this detachment for ra- tions and quarters will be assigned to A or B divisions. The men be- longing to each of these divisions will be permitted to leave the post after work hours until check roll call I1 P. M.) on alternate nights. No exchange of this privilege be- tween men of A and B divisions will be allowed under any circum- stances.
 ? The only men who will be permitted to leave the post on days not assigned to their division will be:
 CD Men on official business. (2) Men on old guard pass.
 t3) Married enlisted men living outisde the post.
 (4) Men to whom passes for more than 24 hours have been granted.
 , 3. Work-day passes for "A hours or less will be granted to A men on their days off and to B men on their days.
 4. Any man who leaves the post by any means of exit except the main general gate will be charged with violations of orders. 3 Any man who desires to leave the post on the day off for his division will before , 80 D. m. of that day ask the 1st sergeant or his representative for check bear ing his number. He will turn this check in to the gate guard before going out. The gate guard will pass no one without check. Any man who fails to ask for his check by 5:3O p. m. will lose his pass privilege for that day.
 G. All men of the division re- maining on post will at all times remain within easy calling distance of their quarters. Easy calling dis tance means within hearing of the 1st sergeant's whistle. Frequent roll-calls will be held and absentees severely punished.

WINNIPEG MEN
MAKE TERMS TO
SETTLE STRIKE
Recognition Of All Unions
Involved in Strike is
Demanded.

Winnipeg, Man., May 20, 1850 a.
m.-The central strike committee Of
organized labor in Winnipeg made
public this afternoon in letter to
Mayor Charles F. Gray the terms up
on which it will consider settlement
of the general strike. Recognition of
all the unions involved and reinstate-
ment of all employees on strike are
asked. The announcement does not
specifically refer to wages and hours.
1t became known shortly before
noon that the conference between
members of the general strike COM
mittee and the citizens committee re-
lated to the demands of the building
trades and metal workers union. This
union was the first to declare gen.
eral strike when negotiation for bet
ter wages, shorter hours and recogni-
ton of the union failed. The general
sympathetic strike followed last
Thursday.
A similar strike by the same union
took place recently in Calgary. One of
the union leaders at general head
quarters said he understood that the
Calgary settlement, which was favor
able to the union, was under discus
, sion at the local conference. No state
ment of the progress Of the meeting
with the Winnipeg citizens commit
tee has been issued. = ~
The attitude of the strikers is shown
in the following letter from Robinson
secretary Of the general strtkc com.

RIVER CLAIMS,
TWO VICTIMS
EARLY TODAY
Drowned Men Are Believed
To Be William Peterson
and Roy Urness.
FATE OF ONE STILL
REMAINS IN DOUBT

Two boys believed to have been
William Peterson, aged 20, 624 Fifth
avenue, and Roy Urness, aged 10. 500
Chestnue street, are believed to have
this morning at about $50 o'clock.
There appears to have been no
doubt Of the fate of Peterson. The
fate of the second man is less certain,
and his identify has not been def
nitely established as yet. Neither of
the bodies have as yet been receiver
! ed.
Cherry street, who witnessed the trag-
edy, from the northeast bank Of of
the Red river, one Of the young men.
believed to have been Peterson was
walking out on the dam into Red
Lake river from Minnesota Point, and
fell into the river. -
Attempted Rescue.
The second man who was fishing on
the Minnesota Point bank probably
SO feet below plunged into the river
in an effort to rescue him. Both were
carried by the current to the junction
Of the Red Lake and Red rivers.
There the rescuer gave up his gallant
! attempt and swan back towards the
shore.
At this point, Berndt who was on
the East Grand Forks bank, ran down
around the point of the Red river
shore in the hope Of intercepting the
drowning man. The latter disappeared
from view however, and when Berndt
returned to his original position on
the Red Lake river shore. the man
who had made the attempt at rescue
had also disappeared.
1t was hoped at first that the
would-be rescuer might have reached
the short safely. but this now appears
unlikely.
The police Of both cities were notf-
fed, and a search of the river bank
was made. A bicycle. red sweater.
and soft black hat were found on
the bank near the dam. Later, a blue
cap was found floating in the river a
short distance below the dam.
