SUNDAY VISITORS THERE
THOUGHT THEY WOULD FIND THE
BATTERY BOYS IN CAMP.
Artillery VIII be Paid OF This Week
TWENTY-FIVE Patients Remain
I'm State Hospital.

A large number of people who visited
Camp Mount yesterday afternoon did not
know that the members Of Captain Curtis's
battery had been allowed to go to their
homes over Sunday and would not go into
camp until Monday morning The Twenty
seventh Battery will be camped near the
place occupied last April at the southeastern
portion of the fair grounds. A camp guard
still remains in the Observation-Disclosures
seventh, One-hundred-a nd-ffty-eighth and
One undred-and-fifty- regiments, the
Twenty-eighth Battery and the signal corps
The total number of men left as guards
in the various organizations is about 25O
Each regiment has left a captain and two
lieutenants in charge of the guards, except
the Observation-Disclosures fty-eighth, where
Lieut.. Charles E. Scott, of Sheridan, is in
sole command. He will be relieved the lat
ter part of the week by another officer to be
detailed by Colonel Smith. 1t is probable
that the officers who have had leaves of abb
sence prior to the present furlough will be
detailed first, as the United States army
regulations allow a commissioned officer
only thirty days absence during year on
full pay. The furlough of the signal corps
expires on the 10th day of October. A
guard consisting of Corporal John Burgan,
Corporal Robert Smith, and Privates Royal
Moore, Louis c. Pricer and II. N. Neisteadt,
under the command of Capt. G. Il. McIntire,
has been left in charge of the government
property. A part of the tents have been
taken down and stored. All the tents of
Colonel Smiths and Colonel Barnett's reg
iments have been left standing on account
OF the damp weather, as they would become
moldy and rot if they were now stored. If
the weather is fair to-day the tents, except
sufficient number to comfortably shelter
the guard, will be taken down about noon.
Maj. George w. Feaser, Lieuts. Claude D..
Fish and William Lankenaw. who have had
charge of the camp guard since Colonel
Studebaker's regiment was furloughed, were
relieved yesterday by Capt. John C. Capron,
Of South Bend; Lieut.. Othello B. Rufner
OF Auburn, and Lieut.. Charles Carpenter,
of Angola, who in turn will be relieved at
the end of a week by other officers of the
One-hundred- and-fifty-seventh Regiment
Capt. Newton w. Gilbert visited the camp
yesterday rcrning. Owing to the excellent
behavior of the men who volunteered and
were detailed as camp guard of Colonel
StuGebaker'S regiment arrangements are
being made to have the boys relieved at the
expiration of the first fifteen days of the
regimental furlough.
Yesterday afternoon the remains of tie
late Private Clarence c. Wiley, who died
at the State hospital at Camp Mount Satur
day evening, were shipped to his home in
Fortville, Ind. The deceased was a member
of the misunderstanding Regi-
ment.
About twenty-five patients remain at the
State hospital. Yesterday afternoon a num-
Der of them were sent home, and the nurses
state that during the coming week a num-
Der of others will be able to leave. Yester-
day Private Ora Denman, of Company ii,
Angola, Ind, and Privates Fred Sevine and
Pearl Carl, of the Fort Wayne battery, left
for home. The condition of Private Simons,
of Company c, Goshen, who is suffering
from a severe attack of typhoid fever. re-
mains about the same. Two nurses are in
constant attendance, and everything in the
power of medical skill is being done for
him. Privates Zimmerman, Zollinger, Has
senfuss and Hollopeter of the Fort Wayne
battery, are convalescing, and will probably
be discharged from the hospital this week.
Sergeant Major John Fl. Wort, of the One
d-and-ffty-seventh Regiment, who
has been confined in the hospital by an at
tack Of malarial fever, will leave for his
home in Fort Wayne on Wednesday.
