New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-06-15
He is officer of the day TO-DAY and

member of the board of survey to fix
the responsibility for the loss of a gray
gelding removed from Brigade Head
quarters while 1t. Mueller was in charge
Mueller is evidently somewhat worried
because of the Captains threatening to
vote against him in this little deal.
| Lieut.. Buschers, also minus his NOUS
tache, follows the illustrlous example
set by his superior officer so far as tax
ing life easy is concerned. He has be-
come quite an adept in that respect.
The tent occupied by the lieutenants

ing work and will be absent from camp
probably two weeks.

more fully on the men at present, but
will do so in my next communication.

ers and men till about tile 10th of July,
and some of the men are getting into
that shape financially where little
