CAMP BARBER. Aug. 24.-Private
Stanley was OF guard Saturday night.
HIS path was along the officers quarters
and Frank walked his beat with a proud
step. Along about Q O'Clock the boys
put up a Job on him. Private Smalley
sneaked up and threw himself right across
SANKEY'S path. The guard, walking
along with his head high, almost fell over
him. Stanley dropped bis gun and COM
menced touching up SmalIey with his
bayOnet. He got him up and presented
~bayonets Just as a roar went up from al
most the entire company, who we're con-
cealed near BY. Stanley dropped and
went on disguised.
The cook we brought along with us
didn't rustic lively enough and we fired
him on Saturday and got a new man who
is dong well.
Lots of the boys took in the circus on
Saturday afternoon. Drum Major Cor
roa of Douglas was there. 1t is reported
that when ne got into the side show he
had hard work getting out, as people
fiocked about him thinking he was one of
the fat wrestle-s.
Private Smalley vent up to headquarters
on Saturday morning on police duty. and
came back swearing like a regular. The
officer of the day had jumped onto him as
orderly on account OF his soldlerly appear
ance. and had instructed Smalley to put
on a boiled shirt, shine his shoes and fix
himself up generally.
We got a rounding up on Saturday
morning for negligence in saluting officers.
1t did lots of good, and one can nov stand
hall a mile from town and see hands in
in the air all the time.
Since changing cooks we have given up
eating persimmops to make our stomachs
adjust themselves to the quantity of food
we got.
Stanley had a bag full of cookies to
help him out while on guard. When he
turned in tho bag was left. but that was
all.
Saturday we had battalion drill and
dress parade for the first tune. In the
latter our boys showed mp in great shape.
Lined up with the whole regiment u
company stood out prominently. Rock
Springs was a close second. The superior
officers, however, we're a little of, and
evidently neeC some reading of the tactics.
While at present arms the order support
arms was given. Our company stood
6rm-and it was the only company. too.
Lieut. Bush is a hard worker and does
all he can for the appearance of company
B. He is a great favorire about the
camp fire, too. and has control of the
vocal music.
Sergeant Griffith has kept well uD on
his tactics, and has yet to make his first
break.
Private Hebard was on guard Friday
night and all day Saturday. About 9
O'Clock Saturday night he WAS stretched
along the camp FIRE, resting his weary
bones when a cry GENE from the street
"Hebard wanted for guard duty" Lock,
wood picked himself up YEARLY and
started for his tent, but found that he
wasn't wanted and that the call was sim,
ply TO get a move on him. He turned
into bed Immediately.
