To see the familiar faces of the


old boys coming into camp one
would imagine none had been
stricken off the muster roll since
our first reunion fifteen years ago.
It seems 10 us every year there is
more interest shown in these meet
ings than the previous year and We
are sure none stay away who can
get here. Many are here who we
know have never missed a reunion
at Baxter since 1882 and The indica.
tons are they will keep coming"
One great secret of this constant
attendance lies in the fact that al
though there may be reunions aud
reunions, there are none like the
big old Baxter reunion, which is
strictly an old soldier affair, includ
ing the entire family. No reunion
in the country accommodates so
many women and children, and the
old patriot knows If he comes TO
Baxter the wife and family must
come along, eXcusing themselves
by saying they just want to watch
the old man, but really to get full
of the fires of patriotism, which are
always burning in Camp Logan.
Our camp fires are more like "a
family gathering and surely pleas.
anter for all than those where the
old stag prevails and the cheering
voices of the wife and children
are never heard. Go out i'm our
camp and see those happy families
gathered around the evening fire
watching the coffee pot and frying
pan, hungry as wolves, but full of
enjoyment in anticipation of the
next good thing on the program.
Where do you see this except at the
old Baxter reunion which belongs
exclusively to the old soldier, his
family and friends.

in a building and deiied arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Charlie Fribley
couldn't capture Golfer. SO the lat.
ter's mother and brother were sent

Golfer to submit TO arrest, but being
of bull headed disposition he still
refused 10 be taken. In the mean
time Marshal Gill appeared on the
scene, and to use slang phrase. he
didn't do thing" only collar the
fugitive. But he had hard strug.
gle. He made an entrance into the
room where Golfer was and jumped
onto him much as cat does onto n

Deputy Sheriff FribIcy finally sue.

THEN AND NOW.

So far as discipline, and good
order are concerned, Camp Logan
needs no military commander or
police department. The nultitudc''
who gather here each year and
bring their families for u patriotic
social outing are all observers of
the law and will see TO il tina, good
order il maintained.
The first reunion at Baxter
Springs fifteen years ago brought
out the war spirit 80 strong in
many of the comrades that il was
necessary to put the town under
martial law aud even then there
was not chicken or "a pig left
within three miles of camp. They
were a rollicky lot of old boys in
blue, aud after they had driven in
the police they fortified Bob Nc
Gregor's barn and lived off the
enemy. They supplied themselves
with enough provisions and spring
water to stand u six months siege,
and at intervals during the night
would make sOrtie on the sleep
ing citizens of the city. No one
was allowed to sleep for more than
30 minutes at n time and then they
slept on their arms. The boys
thought they were having "a g'ori.
