Young Lytle who is twenty-six years of age and should have a litte common sense* of his own, seemed quite penitent and said that he had been wrongly advised by his parents, or he would cot have done as he had. Mr. Montgomery felt that it would be better to make a soldier of him than a federal prisoner, and personally interceded for him before the U. S. district attorney, who turned the matter over to an officer at Fort Benjamin Harrison, where Mr. Montgomery again interceded and, after giving the young man a Severe lecture he was allowed to be sent to Camp Taylor. Kentucky, for military instruction. He promised Mr. Montgomery to write his parents and tell them the error of their way of thinking and endeavor to impress upon them a respect for the government under which they live.
