temp of the county to secure from the
bondsmen of the sheriff the sum $10,000
which that official was found to be short
in 1903. After the shortage had been
discovered, criminal action w s taken
against the sheriff, but he was acquitted,
as was aUo the chief deputy, who was
tried subsequently. Thecouity then com
menced action aganst tne boicUnun to

PREFERENCES TO BE CONSIDERED
(Scrlppa Newa Association)
Washington, D. C. June 19 Artillery
officers who want special duty may be
able to get it hereafter by virtue of a
system which the acting chief of the
corps. Col. G. F. E. Harrison, has re
commended. He believes that it would
advantageous to allow artillery officers
to express their preference for detached
dutyor fof stations. These expressions
are to be keot :n fila in the office of tha
cheif of artillery and are to be consulted
whenever it is necessary to make a change
in location or a . transfer of an officer
from one duty to another. Of course
personal preferences cannot always be
allowed to control, but where It would not
interfere with the public interests to do
so, it is proposed to consult this list, ' and
thus contribute to the contentment of
officers most directly concerned by such
changes. It i expected that this plan
will be adopted and perhaps extended to
other branches of the army service.

means had obtained possession of the
papers of another individual who died in

under which he had since lived with his
wife who had no idea that her husbind s
name was not his own. hat induct d
the man to change his name or why he
has now disappeared is for the present
