Corporal HughBaird
Sprouting Mustache
On Sunday night two of our men
Goodwich and Sheets, of Nelson and
Superior, tried out in the cornet sec
tion for the regiment band and suc
ceeded in carrying off the honors for
the first chair.
On Monday, during the period for
athletics, our best foot racers ran
races with Co. P and wo succeeded in
carrying off the honors.
On Tuesday, after taking our morn
ing exercises all of tho regiments in
our batillion and several other regi
ments marched up into the hills where
wo heard a very good spech by a
Frnch officer. Wc then marched
back and had a company drill. In
the after noon wo drilled a while and
the second hunch of privates were
given their second shot in the arm
and the first bunch of us practiced
drilling with real rifios. Our officers
'inform us that wo will use tho Enfield
rifle, which shoots ten times.
On Monday afternoon the company
had a very enthusiastic athletic meet
ing and Captain Fisher and Lieuten
ant Baldwin gave very good talks and
a great deal of pep will spring forth
in the future, which 'will result in
having Co. G the best drilled company
in army tactics as well as athletics
over on the other side.
Perhaps I have never told you the
size of our barracks. The building
is 40x120 feet, has plenty of light and
ventilation and will be steam heated
this winter.
There arc several Y. M. C. A. build
ings completed and more going up.
Tli buildings arc well constructed and
have fire places in them. A good
tmany of the boys go to them every
night and write their letters and read
and listen to lectures. The Y. M. C.
A. furnishes foot balls, base ball3 and
t suits for those who take part in ath
letics.
On Wednesday wc didn't work very
hard owing to the fact that the second
bunch had core arms and some were
sick. On Thursday wc received pur
leggings, gloves and overcoats and
the last named arc certainly swell.
In the morning our regiment, which
consisted of 2300 men on that day,
marched to the hills, where wc list
ened to a very forcible address by
General Woods, and ho said in part
that they were giving us plenty of
athletic and physical training as this
wasn't a war of machines and could
not be won by any genius like Edison
but 'was a war of personal combat of
-man against man, and also talked on
, the subjects of military discipline and
courtesy, preparedness, universal and
compulsory military training, signifi
cance and seriousness of this war and
our fortune of being able to get pre
pared and the slow realization of the
' general public that we are at war. In
the afternoon wo spent the time at
drill and tho Captain also talked on
Tho Service of Security at tho time
given for that subject, after which we
practiced for a while at the daily ex
ercise of bayonet drill. In the evening
the beds were rearranged so as to
make room for fifty men who arrived
at four o'clock Friday morning from
Lincoln county. A fire broke out
southwest of us on the drill grounds

with tho hose cart but the firo was
extinguished without our company
team, and all of tho companies stood
out in front of their barracks until tho
fire was out.
Charley Arnold, Fred Fuller and
scvoral more of tho Webster county
boys were down to call on us on Fri

On Friday night the Yost meat
market was entered vithout the per
mission of the proprietor but nothing
of special value was taken. The
pad-lock, which was removed from tho
front door, was found in the Morhart
hardware store, this establishment
having also been entered through a
back window. An inventory of the,
stock showed that several revolvers
had been taken by the thief. A box
of sai dines and a note book was left
behind which furnished a clue for the
officers, who at once phoned the var-'
ious' surrounding towns to bo on the '
look-out for the juvenile law-breaker.
In due time Sheriff Huffcr was noti
fied that the person in question, Geo.
Murphy, had been taken into custody
at Iluidy by the officers of that place.
The sheriff immediately went to that
city and the prisoner was turned over
to him. He was brought to tills city
and given a f hearing before Judge
Ranncy and sentenced to a term in the
reformatory. He wus taken to that
place Monday and the sheriff informa
us "that he feels relieved now that he
haB the ten-cent-novel bandit off his
hands.
Although a mere boy, he appears to
ha'vcjsomc criminal record as he in
formed the sheriff that this was the
tenth time that he had been under ar
rest. During the time he was thc
gucstiof Sheriff Iluffor ho made an
attempt to break jail, having cut one
of thcAitocl bars with a saw, which Jic-
had concealed in his shoe at the time
he was scotched before being lodged
in jail.
While in Hardy he had threatened
several people with a revolver, going
so far in one case as to compcll a man
to throw up his hands. It required
the marshall and several citizens to
capture the lad as he was concealed
in a water hole in that locality, and
at the time when the marshal sur
prised him the lad had the "drop" on
his deputy.
Only one of the revolvers was re
covered, Murphy stating that he had
hidden two of them in a prairie dog
burrow and had thrown the other into
a corn field.
Passes to Her Reward

this city occurred tho death of Mrs.
V. II. Scrivncr, after an illness' of

bovs in our company are growing a

mustache.
On Saturday morning we drilled
awhile after which we, had inspection
and arc off until Monday.
