Tents Arrive.
c, On the same train which brought
«• tbs militiamen here were the tents
aiid other camp Impedimenta. Imme
diately after arriving at the camp site,
where they were given a warm and
hearty welcome by the regular sol
diers and a number of civilians from
the surrounding country, the Virgin
ians unburdened themselves of their
heavy haversai ks and gun* and fell
to" to make camp.
The militiamen set to work with a
tight good will and soon had their
portion of the historic battlefield, cov
ering more than a score of acres. In
ship-shape. The majority of the mi
litiamen were accustomed to light
work and a little of It In Richmond,

which they had walked for many
months. They were -g -on a liberal

which will be their home for ten days,
in inhabitable condition. Id addition
to comfort and cleanliness, the mi
litiamen must also look after the sani
tary phases of camp.
Great Rustle.
Immediately after their arrival at
camp there was a hurrying and scur
rying here, there and everywhere, and
large and many demands upon the
quartermaster for equipment and upon
the commissary for food.
A few notes from a bugle never
meant so much to the militiamen as
W’hen "mess call'' was sounded this
morning. The soldiers were not at all
modest in paying their respect* to the
army food, but salted into the ham
and eggs as though they had been
training for that very thing many
months.
The weather Is^lrot, but the field

the militiamen expect to have some
comfort as well as hard work for
the army.
The soldiers will camp in large
conical Sibley tents, holding eight
men, composing a set of fours. In
charge of a sergeant. The tent is
amply large to hold the cots which

able street. Latest reports from his
bedside are to the effect that he :&
barely living, and that the spark of
life is ted to leave the aged irarae
at any fnoment.
Squire Thomas had been attending
to the duties of his office up to the
last ten days, when he was forced to
take to his bed. He is suffering from
no disease, his only trouble being old
age. and no hope is held out tor his
recovery.
Interesting Career.
Squire Thomas has had a varied
career, and has occupied an Important
place in legal circles of the county.
For several terms he held the posi- ;
tion of Commonwealth's Attorney of ]
Henrico.
Mr Thomas began his work for the '
county several hours before the war.
when he accepted his first official po
sition. that of constable. At that
time he lived several miles below
KIchmond. Several years after the
war he became Commonwealth's At
torney and served several terms.
In Famous Case.
As associate counsel with Attorney
Marmaduke Johnson, Mr. Thomas
took a prominent part In the famous
trial of James Jeter Phillips, who was
hung for wife murder. The murder
was committed in the county In Feb
ruary, 18-68. and was one of the most
brutal In the criminal annals of the
State. The trial caused a sensation,
and the murderer was hung July 22,
1S70. two years and a half after the
deed was committed.
The Commonwealth's Attorney at
that time was John B. Young, who.
like Mr. Marmaduke Johnson, senior
lawyer for the defense, was one of the
most famous lawyers of his time.
At the expiration of his last term ,
as Commonwealth's Attorney Mr. '
Thomas became a magistrate for the
county, which position he has held
"ever since. He is the oldest magis
trate in the county, both in years and :
in point of service.

The Estrada forces are pressing on
toward Managua, and the fall of the

insurgent followers. _

WASHIKOTON, D. C., July 1.—EH
B. Runyon, alias Reynolds, of Rich
mond. Vr., and John D. Wichard, alias
Robert Davis, of Atlanta, the two boys
acused of robbing the home of sec
retary Moseley, of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, were arrained In
police court here to-day and bound
over for the grand jury.
Bond was assessed at 11.500, in de
fault of which the boys, were com
mitted *o jail.
The lads, each about seventeen years
old, presented a dejected appearance
in court. Runyon, however, main
tained the sullen attitude effected ever
since his arrest, which has made it
difficult for the police to get any thing
out of him.
Carrie Jones, a maid in the home
of Secretary Mosley Identified several
stolen articles, among them being a
revolver, watch and several rings,
worth in all about 160. The committ
ment of the boys for the grand Jury
action followed, Wichard already hav
ing made a confession to the police.
Dr. Runyon left Richmond at S
o'clock Friday morning for Washing
ton and will bring her son back to
Virginia if the authorities allow her to
take him away.
It is the belief of those who know
him that his mind is affected. A
month or so ago he broke into several
houses in Savannah and was arrested
and escaped punishment because of
the fact that he was not in his right
mind at the time he committed the
crimes.
When arrested in Washington
Thursday the young boy had a full
set of burglar's tools with him and
told the policemen many conflicting
stories. He admitted having financed
the trip from Atlanta to Washington
with his companion. Wichard. whom
he' met in Georgia.

half yesterday not only the president
of the United States but the author of
"ray policies.”
Just what happened Is known to
only two men—and they won't tell.
Certainly there was no complete en
dorsement of the Taft administration,
or the fact would have been quickly
made public by the Taft forces. It
was a "social call” the participants
stated.
One thing, however, is practically
certain. There was an agreement on

In view of the stand which Roosevelt
has taken on conservation, It Is doubt
ful whether that delicate subject was
broached.
There will probably be no further
meeting between the two in-the near
future. This was stated directly by
Roosevelt when he left. There was a
rumor that the Longworth home bn
the north shore would shelter the
Colonel for a period. In order to per
mit of several conferences with the
president. But this was emphatically
denied. Colonel Roosevelt stated that
