CAMPAff ARRIVES AT PINI Local Guardsmen Left Friday Evening, and After Long, Tiresome Ride, Reach New York State Camp- Strenuous Week Ahead. Clad in their olive drab field uni- forms and loaded down with their full equipment, the members of Company I> marched to the Erie station Friday night to depart for the state camp at Pine Plains, Jefferson county, for eight days of field duty. The soldiers left the city at 8:30 o'clock in three special coaches. They proceeded to Corning, where a long: delay was en- countered. Finally with the Olean company forming part of, the same train, the special pulled out for Roch- ester, where another long: wait was encountered. ' The local company arrived at Pine Plains late Saturday morning, thor- oughly tired, from the long, tedious ride. The Hornell men were' to have joined the special at Corning, hut or- ders were received at the last minute ordering the company to remain for the funeral of Dr. Charles O. Green. The Hornell company will leave for the camp on Sunday night. Company L left with ninety-five en- listed men and three officers, Major John T. Sadler, Lieutenant Thurber A. Brown, and Captain R. A. Turnbull, of the medical corps also left with the company. The men will return late next Saturday night. The local guardsmen will find the Pine Plains camp far different from the Farnham camp of the past several years. While a great deal of work was done at Farnham. on Lake Krie, where the local men have camped for the last several years, there were no "ma- neuvers." in the larger sense of the word. Formations in advance and for flank guards have been taken and blank cartridges fired at an enemy either "outlined or represented," but actual problem work—taking up the tine points of the military game and studying them from a scientific stand- point—*rfas been unknown. "Farn- ham." declared a well known national guard officer yesterday, "was all right in its way, but we've outgrown camps where instruction has been largely centered on close order drill, guard duty and ceremonies. "To-day the na- tional guard is struggling with the proposition in keeping up with the regular army of its theoretical prob- lem work, and a camp of maneuvers is what we need. There will be other changes from the old camps which the local guardsmen will notice. During the past week, S. O. 235 from head- quarters of the national guard divi- sion, Albany, set forth that 'the sale of or dealing in beer, wine or any In- toxicating liquors by any person In any post exchange or canteen or upon any premises used for military pur- poses by the United States Is strictly prohibited.' The Pine camp reserva- tion is United States government property, and' is only loaned to the state of New York for this year's camp of the state troops. The order says 'the cdmmanding officers of bri- gades and regiments are charged with the strict enforcement of the law.' That means a 'dry camp.'" After receiving a copy of this order a national guard officer said: "That will mean that instead of company commanders being able to control the issue of beer within organizations, there'will be a line of 'shacks' and 'speakeasies' close to the border of the reservation, and we won't be able to control them. However, that's the law and that's all there is to it. We never had any drunkenness at Farn- ham, and we wouldn't have had it at Pine Plains, but this order settles it." GREATEST STATE CAMP. [By .Associated Press.3 Pine Camp, N. T., Aug:. 5.—With the arrival of the last of the state •troops this afternoon, the largest na- tional guard training school and maneuver camp-ever held ip this state became a reality at" Pine Plains! Be- foro the day closes there will bo ap- proximately 5,000 citizen soldiers in' camp, under the command of Major General Charles F. Roe, who arrived at the camp last night. The soldiers, which include the Third and Fourth brigades, will be in camp for ten days. The first few clays will be given over to drills and tactical problems, work- ed out by individual organizations, and the final days to big united ma- neuvers in which every man will par- ticipate. These maneuvers will be witnesed by Governor Dix, who will arrive at the camp August 11. The troops will be divided into two armies,, known as the Red and the Blue ; and will struggle for the posses- sion of the bridge over Black river, which Is supposed to be the dividing line between hostile states. Every feature of war, except the bullets and bloodshed, will be experienced. There will bo one regular army officer for each regiment to act as instructors.

HARDING WILL G E T $7,250. According to reports given out, the Lehigh Valley Railroad company set- tled with Mrs. Delia Hollenbeck, of Erin, for $5,000 for the injuries she received in the Lehigh ^Valley wreck between Breesport and Horseheads on M a y 8. Mrs. Hollenbeck was horribly injured and was in the Arnot-Ogden hospital here for many weeks. For weeks she hovered between life and death, and finally when she was dis- charged from the institution her face bore scars that will remain for life. - Another report is given as to. the amount of the settlement, but it can- not be verified. It is said the woman received $15,000 from tho railroad company, with the understanding that the entire amount of the settlement price should not be made public. It hairdly seems that Mrs. Hollenbeck would agree to a settlement as low as $5,000 when the extent of her injuries is known. The Lehigh Valley company stands ready to pay the sum of $7,250 to Mrs. David L. Harding, of Breesport, whose husband died from injuries in the wreck. When Mrs. Harding is ap- pointed administratrix of her hus- band's estate the settlement will be made. Mrs. Harding is represented by Attorney Michael O'Connor, of this city. YORK STATE BONDS. sum HSG YOUNG COUPLE IN A REAL BAD MESS NOT WELL-WITTED. THERE r. THOSE OF THE TELEPHONE COM- PANY, NOT OF OUR IMPERIAL COMMONWEALTH. Binghamton, N. Y., Aug. 5.—Follow- ing the meeting of the bondholders ot the York Sta.te Telephone company held in Elmira it was decided to issue a letter requesting that all bond- holders, give,their consent, to the ap- pointment of a general committee con- sisting of Edgar M. Yarnall, of Phila- delphia, and Boyd McDowell and Myer Friendly, of Elmira, who shall take the matter of protecting the company against the default of th© American Union Telephone -company out of the hands of tho United Telephone com- pany. It is the belief that indepen- dent action by representatives of the York State Telephone company will be far more satisfactory. The York State company is a subsidary company of the Union Telephone concern :and its bonds are held in large quantity in southern New York and northern Pennsylvania. Local bondholders have received letters from Elmira ask- ing their co-operation. WILLIAM H. FARR. William Henry Farr, an esteemed citizen Of Big Flats, died at the family home in that town Friday morning at 3 o'clock, aged eighty years.

Girl Certainly Has Little Brains, And Probably Had No Guilty Part Jn The Horse Stealing—it Is The Old Story Of A Rented Rig Taken Away And The Vigilant Officers Of The Law Get Stolen Animal. Had the constables, deputy sheriffs, etc., in Pine Valley, Breesport, Horse- heads, or that vicinity, been awake and on their jobs, any one ojf them might have had the credit of arresting Albert Williams and Mrs. Nellie Williams, who are wanted at Meshoppen, Pa., on a charge of stealing a horse and wagon. However, tho credit goes to Chief of Police Mulligan, of Athens, Pa.; Justice Charles O. Hoagland, of Waverly, and Deputy Sheriff Frank Hausradt, of Chemung. The latter official actually placed the couple.un- der arrest and yesterday morning they were brought to-this city and lodged in the county jail, where they were committed to await requisition papers from Pennsylvania. J , Monday a man giving the name of Albert Williams rented a horse and wagon at the livery stable conducted by Edward Matthews, at Meshoppen, Pa. The man said that he and his wife wanted to go to a lake near the place fishing. He paid $2 for the rent of the rig. He failed to return with the outfit and the owner of the rig sent out a description of the man, woman and rig to the police in Sayre and Athens, Pa., Waverly and places near this city, but not to the office of ,the sheriff of this county. Friday the rig was seen passing through Pine Valley and near Breesport, but the constables failed to halt the outfit. Friday night Williams applied to a farmer near North Chemung, asking if he could put his horse in the barn and if he and his wife could sleep there. The man gave tho permission asked, and recognizing the' rig as the one claimed to be stolen, he notified Chief of Police Mulligan, of Athens. Chief Mulligan went to Waverly in the middle of the night, sojught out Jus- tice Hoagland, and then they went to Chemung, where they called Deputy Sheriff Frank Hausradt from bed. Chief Mulligan swore to a complaint before Justice of the Peace Charles M. Whittaker, charging W r illiams and his wife as being fugitives from. justice. Deputy Sheriff Hausradt went to the house where Mr. and Mrs. Williams were staying and routed them from bed and took them before Justice Whittaker, where they were identified as the parties wanted. They were brought to this city and placed in jail yesterday morning. WIFE A BINGHAMTON GIRL. Mrs. Williams was interviewed at the jail yesterday by a Telegram man. She is of medium height, weighs about 200 pounds, and claims to be eighteen or nineteen years of age. When asked who she was and where she came from she said: '"Well, you see, I can't just tell you that. I had ho parents, and I don't know much about myself, except that I married Albert Williams up near Cooperstown last November. We have worked around, and such like, since that time. I was in the Sus- quehanna Valley Home in Binghamton until 1901, when I was taken out and was on a farm up above Cooperstown with a farmer named Frank Coon. I always went by the name of Nellie Coon." "Where is the Susquehanna Valley Home in Binghamton?" asked the scribe. "I can't really tell you that," said the woman. "Can't you tell me the name of some of the women who were in charge there?" "No. I only remember one little girl, and she was always good to me. Her aunt used to come to see her and give her fruit, etc., and she always gave me some." "Whore is your. marriage certifi- cate?" "That's . over to some of Albert's folks. I don't just know where it is." 'fcYou say you were married last No- vember. Now, did you get a marriage license? Did you go to any town or city clerk and tell him who you wer<\ who your parents were, give him your age, etc?" "No. I didn't go anywhere but to a justice of the peace, ahd I can't re- member his name. We didn't have any foolishness like that at all." "You say your husband was drinking Monday..' Were you not drinking also, and if not, why did you let him take that horse and wagon?" "I didn't drink a thing, and I didn't know whore he was going. I tried to get him to take the horse back to the plaoe where he got it, but he wouldn't do it." When the woman was asked if she had any friends or relatives she wish- LONG fcttwrtcf. «« argpst industries are big users of Bell Telephone Service.

"I DIDN'T MEAN TO STEAL IT." The only excuse was that he was mean to steal the horse. I'was drunk and I did not know but I was going td take the rig back as soon as I coulc. get there- I was on my way when eiught by trie.cops," said Albert Williams. The man said he had never been claimed that he ^married Nellie Coon, a Binghamton giri, in November, but dould not remember the name of the justice of the peace or the town where every incident conn Williams is about moustache and v is out of trouble.
