The court-martial on Captaiu Fechet for alleged drunkenness and brutality began today at Fort Gates, a military station about seventy miles from hero. A good deal of interest is manifested in the trial, the sympathy of tho public being with those who allege they wero assaulted by tho captain when ho was was under the influence of liqnor. The recent investigation of Lieutenant Steele in Chicago has had tho result of directing public attention to the court-martial court-martial now sitting at Fort Yates, as the charges against Captain Fetchet are more numerous and even more serious than those preferred against Steele by Private Wild.
