FINK AS EVER It isi't muclr of a task to work up a "stunt" program at "Y" 106 nowadays. for the men are always quite willing to perform for'the edification, amusement and incidentally, commendation of their fellow soldiers. Sometimes the performers put in an appearance and sometimes they don't, but that matters little, for the "stunts" go merrily on their way notwithstanding. | On Tueeday night, last, the SixIteenth Field Artillery, were scheduled i to do the honors, but when the appointed hour came, only the band put ' in an appearance, and a band such as : the Sixteenth possesses can hardly be | classified under the heading ol I "stunts." To say that the Sixteenth : hand rendered a most excellent corp | cert would be putting it -mildly, 101 J they fairly outdid themselves on thii , occasion playing a variety of ain 1 which would please the ear of anj | connisseur. j Following the concert came boxing ! bouts, wrestling bouts, singing bouts j poetrica! bouts?in fact a-bout every; thing.

March 3.?Samuel Sciascia. a deserter from the army, who, was arrested here Thursday, was ta-1 ken to Camp Greene. Charlotte, Friday by military authorities. An interesting feature,of the affair was that Lieutenant Malone, who with a private came from the camp for the deserter, was the son of a federal soldier who was stationed here in reconstruction days. -He manifested keen interest in York and was shown several landmarks of tho town, among them being the old Rose hotel building, which was used as headquarters by the federal troops" during their stay here. + NO FURTHER TROUBLE WITH NEGRO STEVEDORES Norfolk, Vu., March 3.?Reports tonight from Hampton are to the effect that there has been no further trouble with the negro stevedores, which re' suited last night in .one being killed 'and two Injured. The men were fired 'upon by Forty-eighth infantry guards, when they attempted to wredk a small I store near their camp, owing to a real jor fancied grievance. -The funded ' men were reported tonight to be doi ing well. Army officers at the camp will institute an investigation of the I disturbance tomorrow, with a view of punishing the ringleaders. ?
