IL remem Der very funny incident
that happened few years ago down
in New Mexico" said a retired army
officer to a reporter fer the New
York RecOr er. IAN old scout and
experienced Indian fighter enlisted a
cong any of COW boys. and, marching
them TO the army post at Santa Fe,
reported for duty to the colonel in
charge OF the body of regular trOo $
stat Oned there
1.-THE colonel was a dapDer little
man. neat and nicely gloved. you
know, and he rather looked down
upon the rough company that was Of
fered to him. Turning to the captain
OF the ragged crowd. he said:
- Ever seen service?'
'Um,' replied the other.
"sMen well drilled?'
s'Um.'
" Well, Just order them over there
to camp. so l can see how you would
60 about it, and how they'd obey, ,
said the colonel.
Hey, you fellers" called out the
captain, git over there to that T nee,
get off your bosses and turn in; be
blessed quick about it. and Bill, you
onery cuss, if you don't have co ee
ready ia an hour I'll split your ears
1.-The next day the entire command
began campaign against the In
dams. Before taking up tn march
the colonel gave most minute and es-
pecial orders in a long address to his
regulars. telling them what to do If
attacked, and what orders would
then be given. The ca tain, after
the colonel had finished, returned to
the men and cried out
= Hey, ycI fellers. darn you,
double quick, an il them red sons o
guns git after you, don't wait for no
fool orders from me, but light
onto e H.
''And if it hadn't been for this
crowd times would have gone hard
with the regulars that time when
they did meet the Indians"
