Miles City Compliments TO the Twenty
Second Infantry.

mics sity Compliments 10 the twenty
Second Infantry.
Last night was the occasion selected
by the managers Of the Miles City club
TO extend the cou urtesies Of our people
to the officers and ladies Of the Twenty
second regiment, U. 5. infantry, who
have recently taken station at Fort
Keogh. SO far as personal comfort
Was concerned there might have been
better selection, but as the gentle
men having the matter In charge were
denied control OF the temperature we
will acquit them of any designs on
frizzes of the ladies, nor will we charge
them with being In league with vari-
ous Mongolians who "do upn the
linen of the gentlemen.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the music OF
the rwenty-second infantry band
ca ed the loiterers from the dressing
rooms TO the sp' cious and handsome
apartments Of the Miles City Club,
and dancing commenced. No regular
program was set forth, IL being the in
tention to utilize a fair portion OF the
time in permitting opportun ties for
our people to make the acquaintance
of The guests from Fort Keogh, and as
the forepart Of the evening was exces.
sively warm 1t wGs found that this de-
parture was mucn d ore agreeable
than IL u full dancing programme had
been arranged and adhered TO.

The reception was one Of the most

his Fourth of July remarks, YVES
firmly cemented. The sudden rise of
