which they are to enjoy during the per-

Each big camp. not including the
camp at Gaincsvillc, Vll., where the
corps headquarters will be lecatcd, has
been fitted up at an expenditure of
nearly $17,000. Two miles and a half

tcrmaster, U. S. A., has made. prepara-
tions for the big army portions of

Manaseas and capture its base. The
ground. as far as the eye can reach. is
one long series of tiny hills and small
valleys, until In fig? far distance the,
picturesque Blue Ridge mountains
raise their heads above the fertile farm
lands soon to be the scene of mimic
warfare. In a gap In these mountains
has been located Manoeuvre Cainp No.

his headquarters, the camp for the 15.-

nclude the Connecticut National

has been laid out in the most approv—
ed military style. In less than a month
he fields have been cleared, fences
taken down, twelve wells dug and
eleven miles of water pipe laid all OVDI‘
the territory to be occupied by the

poses have also been dug. Strange as
it 'may seem, in connection with mili-
tary operations, each regimental eamp~
lng ground has been provded with four
bath tents, in each of which are six
shower baths for the use of the tired
and hot soldiers. after a hard day's
work. It was not the intention of the
authorities at the war department to
provide the men with unnecessary and

About each regimental camp extends
a line of water pipes sunk In the

of about twelve yards, this pipe ls tap-

that the men will not have any trouble

‘wounds inflicted by Herbert Schmidt.
of Buchniinack, West Virginia. The
two men were employed on the sum-
mer hoiue of W. D. Critiendcn, of
New York city, and it is believed that
during the absence of the entire fam-
ily, Schmidt was discovered in the act
of robbing the safe by Taylor. who
was killed while trying to protect his
employer's property.
The fact of the robbery was not
discovered until about, 2:30 in the at-
dernoon. although it must have taken
place between 9:30 and 11:15 in the
morning. Miss Fannie Lawson. of
New York city, arrived at the house
and finding the family absent went
upstairs. Finding the safe broken
bpen and the house ransacked. she
save the alarm and the matter was
reported to Deputy Sheriff Allen, who
made an investigation and found the
body near an old well in the rear of
the barn. Taylor's hat lay beside a
moi of blood on the lawn, which
showed that he had been killed there
and the body carried to the place
“Our lill‘ well. Sheriff IlaWIey, who
was in the vicinity, was notified, and
iiiiniodlatcly took charge.
It was ascertained that Schmidt,
after rausacklng the house and taking
money and jewels of about 31.000 in
value. had stolen a horse belonging to
Mr. lrltiendcn'a father-inviaw, and
started for-New York. He was traced
as far as Peterson. N. Y., where the
horse had been placed in a stable.
Corner Charles A. Dutch, of Bridge»
port, was notified yesterday morning.
and immediately went to the scene.
There is no medical examiner for the
district, and Dr. I). C. Brown. of Dan-
bury, was called, upon to assist. An
autopsy was made yesterday and it
was found that Taylor had been shot
once in ilip. right side, a shotgun be-
ing the weapon, as several small shots
were found In the body. There was
a hole almost large enough for a hand
to enter on that side of the body, the
wound being very deep. The dowar
part of Taylor's,‘i~ight lung was torn
away, and it was cvldeiit by the fierce-
ly isceratcd wound that the gun had
been discharged when very near 'l‘ayA
ior's body.
leroncr Dotcu.aud Dr. lire n also
found that Taylor‘s skull ha been
crushed, evidently by the stock of the
'giin. and there were other marks on
the body that showed evidence of a
fierce struggle.
At the Inquest which followed,Mrs.
Crittonden and Miss Lawson gave tes-
timony. Miss Lawson told of finding
the safe wrecked and the house turned
topsy burvy. Mr, Critteiiden wont to
New York to assist in the search for
the suspected murderer and conse-
quently was not present at the In-
quest.» ,
Schmidt and Taylor were both hired
to work on the summer place several
weeks ago. Taylor, who was about 50
years old, and as far as known un-
married, was secured through an em-
ployment bureau. He brought excel-
lent recommendations for honesty and
faithfulness. it was through his faith-
fiilness that he lost his life. Schmidt
answered an advertisement which was
inserted in a New York newspaper.
He had no recommendations, but
made such a good impression on his
employer that he was engaged. ‘
Word was sent to New York city
and various places in the state, but
up to an early hour this morning no
trace of him had been found. He
was 19 years old, 5 feet 9 inches ‘ln
height. weighcd‘about 175 pounds. He
was smooth face. dark complexion and
wore a business suit and gray fedora.
SHERMAN, August 24.——In view of
the character of the gunshot wound
found on the body of William Taylor,
the farm hand on the Crittendon farm,
who was killed Monday, probably by
Herbert Schmidt. gives the impression
that he was shot while running away.
It Is believed that after Schmidt had
fought from the upper hall to the lawn
outside, Taylor broke.,away and start-
ed to run, and that Schmidt. fearing
that he would give‘an alarm, discharg-
ed the shotgun at close range» in the
wound were three wads. The wound
is upwards and. whores: If Taylor had
