LETTER FROM A SOLDIER BOY.
Well Pleased Wltb Military Life
and Travel Incident Thereto.
Scranton, March 9:?It required
only seventeen pages for our Army
Correspondent," Mr Archie C Wall,
to inform the writer that he had
left the training quarters, Columbus,
0, and had reached Angel
Island, California, where the several
* hundred boys would sail for the
I , Philippines and Hawaiian Islands,
[ March 5. He describes graphically
the trip from Columbus to 'Frisco
passing: through twelve States, a
distance of 2,980 miles. They were
four days and four nights on the
special train of thirteen cars (Pull
man and dining). How they had
short stops in the large cities; passed
through Indiana, St Louis, Mo, Illinois,
Kansas City, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and California. He
picks Indiana for his State, with its
broad acres of staples and fenced
farms. Indiana and the "Show Me"
State raise stock and grain; Colorado
has few trees, but good pastures.
Here, Mr Wall says, he saw thousands
of sheep in herds, in Arizona
and New Mexico, which was a curiosity
to him. He says that it is
mountainous and when you see a
level place it is covered with prairie
dogs, funny animals to him. The
State is populated with Indians and
Mexicans and sections are covered
with Indian huts?whole villages
of them.
They stopped at Newton, New
Mexico, a fine city, but the most of
the State looked like a desert. Very
little croife could be raised on account
of the sand storms. "You
should see those Indians riding from
place to place trying to farm, all as
busy as could be?this was new to
me," said he.
"The climate was extremely cold
until we reached California, where
we saw green grass and fruit trees
in full bloom; the climate is warm
and pleasant. Angel Island is ll
miles across the bay from "'Frisco"
and is owned by the Government;' it
Is five miles in circumference. On

this island is a mountain which we
climbed, taking two hours and fifteen
minutes. Here we could see
San Francisco and the grand exposition
lit up by electricity. It was a
scene to remember. I intend to go
to the exposition. A soldier gets a
pass through the gate3. I visited
the immigration station, where the
Chinese and 'Japs' enter California.
"Another bunch of boys arrived
yesterday from Ft Jefferson, Kansas
?more than 600. The boat I go on
will carry 1,500 or 1,600. We start
for Honolulu March 5 and will make
it in eight days, if no delay occurs;
the distance is 2,190 miles."
Archie informs us that he is sleeping
in a two-story bunk and "has
not fallen out of it yet."
The island, with its flowers, pet
animals, sea birds, beautiful scenery
imprints on one a lasting impression.
"School will soon close there and
I shall have to begin when I reach my
post. I shall go four or six months.
I don't know what studies we take,
but shall seize ^11 advantages. I
am satisfied and 1 enjoying the soldier's
life and would not give up
my enlistment for the experience
already gained.
"During the trip by rail, we came
through 27 tunnels, from i mile to 1$
miles long. Four men deserted en
| route here, but they are expected
| to be hauled up, as they could not
i carry their names with them.
"The boys do their own laundry.
"Dr J B Beam, missionary to
China, addressed an attentive congregation
at the Methodist church
last night. He spoke most interestingly
of conditions, needs and what
the missionaries are doing in China."

TOLBERT GETS DEATH SENTENCE
Greenwood Man Convicted ol
Murder?Killed Young Wile.
Greenwood, March 6.?A C Tolbert
was found guilty of murder
this afternoon, after a short deliberation
by the jury which had heard
all the evidence adduced since yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, wher
the trial began. The testimony war
practically completed yesterday even
ing and the morning occupied with
arguments of counsel for the defense,
Solicitor Cooper in reply
Judge Moore delivered his charge
shortly before 1 o'clock.
At ten minutes after 3 o'clock the
jury brought in its verdict, "guiltj
of murder "
Tolbert was found guilty of a particularly
atrocious crime. He chok
ed his young wife to death while the
two were alone in a room in a house
at Panola mill, a few days before
Christmas. He waited an hour af
ter committing the crime before he
notified any one, saying he wantec
to be sure she was dead.
At the trial he testified that hei
infidelity was the cause of his rage
towards her.
The plea of the defense was in
sanity and testimony both of physi
cians and others was offered thai
Tolbert was "peculiar" or crazy.
When Judge Moore finished the
death sentence Tolbert fell across the
dock as in a 3woon. He was carried
into a jury room and giver
medical attention. The date of execution
is April 2.
Court adjourned after sentence
had been pronounced on Tolbert.

It is not unusual for the
animal to bring home things that
\ he finds in the streets, but the other '
day it surpassed all its previous en-^
deavors by coming home with a; *
brand new $1 bill in its mouth. It
is said the dog picked up the money
in south Walnut street in the centre
of the business district. Mr Gottlieb
is now endeavoring to find the person
that lost the money.
"SheD does not mean to he dia
