He had been placed in the corner several years before after being embalmed, and forgotten until the establishment was given a general cleaning up one day and his mummified form, reclining against the dust-velveted wall, came to view. Since then he has rendered efficient service as night watchman in lieu of his lodging.

The scene was visited and there was George. He of fered no explanation, placed no blame ori his abductors, but again and again repeated that one sad word, “nothing." The following note found pinned on the negro mummy's breast. explains the gruesome abduction as far as can he: Augusta. Ga.. April 10, 1918. From: Recruiting officer.

Reason of discharge is physi cal disability and the mental weak ness of continually saying •‘noth ing." 3. We recommend George for any service in civil life as he has been found to be anything but a “slacker.” JIMMIE.

CHARGE Privates John J. Monoghan and James McDermott Get Un precedented Sentence For Absenting Themselves From Gamp Without Leave. (By Wm. Owens, Staff Correspondent.) Men of the Keystone Division who have frequently absented themselves without leave from Camp Hancock, regarding such an act In the light of a lark, were given a severe jolt yes terday when It was announced from division headquarters that Privates John J. Monoghan and James McDer mott, of Company D, 110th Infantry, have been convicted of absenting themselves without leavt and each sentenced to five years at hard labor In the United States barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Kuns. The sentence of the general court nuirtial provides that Monoghan and McDermott shall he dishonorably dis charged from the service, forfeit all pay and alloances due or to become due, anil he confined at hard labor for five yeurs. In approving tho sentence the commanding general suspends that part of the findings which dis honorably discharge the defendants until their release from confinement. The sentence Imposed upon Monog han and McDermott for absenting themselves without leave Is unprece dented in this country, so far as the division authorities here are informed. The division commander makes tho following remarks in the ot'der ap proving the sentence imposed. Tho sentence is responsive to the admitted need for drastic ac tion to stop the too frocjuont ab sences without leave. It is desired that the commission of this of fense, which is highly destructive of discipline and doubly pernic ious because done deliberately, shall be attended with exemplary punishment. The sontence is ap proved and will be dulv executed, but the execution of that portion thereof adjudging disAonorable discharge is suspended until the soldier's release from confine ment. Tho United States discip linary barracks. Fourt Leaven worth, Kansas, is designated as tho place of confinement. It is charged that Monoghan and McDermott left camp on the morning of January 26th. They were appre hended in Augusta on February 28th. Whether or not they left this city Is not known. BROAD SL PROPERTY SELLS FOR $35,000 H. H. Claussen Sella Hia Bakery Property to Messrs.
