LIEUTENANT JAMES P. EVERETT

Lieut. Everett Dropped

Waukesha Volunteer Who Mysteriously Disappeared From Camp Shipp

Anniston, Ala., Feb. 25-A telegram was received to-day from the War department announcing that Lieut. James P. Everett of Co. A, who has been missing since Jan. 11, had been dismissed from the service on Feb. 24.  He does not receive a dishonorable discharge, nor a discharge of any kind, but is simply dropped from the rolls as unaccounted for.  This disposition of the affair will enable Lieut Daniel J. Martin and First Sergeant B. William Bergeman to become first and second lieutenant of Co. A, they having previously been elected but not receiving their commissions until the Everett case had been settled.

The regiment is badly divided on the question of a route from Anniston to Wisconsin.  With the plan of holding the regiment together the officers arranged for three special trains on the southern and Louisville Nashville railways at a rate of one-half fare for Wisconsin points.  Several lines ignored in the official arrangement sent representatives here and the agents of eight roads are now fighting for the business.  One road announced a rate of 1 cent a mile yesterday but to-day this offer was withdrawn and all now make the same rates, depending upon promises of stop-overs, through coaches and fast trains to sell tickets.

The regiment is almost sure to be broken up and divided between the various competing lines.  The men of Cos C and F rejected the plans laid out for them and made their own arrangements for trains.  In other companies, also, the men resent the proposition to hand them over to any road and are negotiating terms with all.  Whatever arrangements are decided upon a majority of the men and officers of each company will go home together but there is little prospect that the whole regiment will return in a body.
