King, Charles. Soldier’s trial. $1.50. Hobart.
“General King’s readers, if desirous of information upon the comparative merits of canteen, or no canteen, will be well rewarded by a perusal of the book while those who want only a good novel, with plenty of action, a little intrigue, ending in the triumph of worth and the detection of villainy, will not be disappointed.”

“There is very little action for a King novel, and the interest is nursed along by very slender means.”

King, Charles. [Tonio, son of the Sierras: a story of the Apache war.] †$1.50. Dillingham.
Another of General King’s stories of army life, post intrigue and frontier war-fare. Tonio is an Indian scout, silent, courageous, and faithful. Altho he is cruelly misjudged and unjustly dealt with by his general, he sacrifices his life in the service of the army and his army friends. About him circles the love story of Lilian Archer, an army girl who accepts the love of an unworthy lieutenant only to discover her error and see little Harris, a discarded suitor, in a new light.
“A story of the Apache war, told in an entertaining manner by one thoroughly familiar with his material.”
