typhoid fever has again asserted IT
Felt at Camp Ramsey. Yesterday thir-
teen suspected cases were collected
around the camps, a majority from the
lower. DR.. Fry gave as the reason for
this that, whenever man in the lower
camp complained at all, he was sent
right up to the hospital, and, of course,
counted among the suspects. The out
llook is not so promising as 1t has been
Tor the last few days.
Fourteen men were sent ito Asbury

The state board of health visited

carried away with them samples OF
the earth and water for analysis.
DR.. Fry has entire charge of the
quarantine camp now, and whenever
a man is taken in there you find the
doctor. Yesterday ne took care Of a
very bad case of heart disease that
developed seriously. Sergeant Brockett,
Company 1, was the victim. TIE SER
geant has been subject to such attacks
for some time, and has been home in
Minneapolis on furlough waiting for
his discharge papers, as his trouble,
of course, disQualifieS him for service.
He visited his comrades yesterday,
and during the o'clock inspection,
stood out in the sun for some time
watching the men. The heat seemed
too much for him. He was taken into
tent and call sent to the hospital
In the meantime it took six men to
hold him. When DR.. Fry arrived, the
seriousness of the case was realized,
and last night it was feared that he
might not survive Brockett made
fine soldier, and was very popular in
his company. Besides his life with the
Fifteenth, he had experience in the
national guard.
The men in the detached battalion
are becoming disconnected under their
close confinement. They say that the
only difference between themselves and
the Saltwater prisoners Is that at Still
water they can have their friends visit
them. They claim, too, that now there
is less sickness among them thal
among the companies that are allowed
greater freedom. However that may
be, Company H only mustered three
sets of fourS or tWenty-four men, at
roll call yesterday morning, while Com
pany K went them better with two sets
or sixteen men. OF course, there are

best.

After the game the men had to hustle
to get ready for the regular Saturday
inspection. At p. M. the companies
were lined UP in their company streets,
with light marching equipment. Maj.
Edwin inspected the men and quarters
of his battalion. In the other the in
spection was done by the company Off
GERS. After it was finished the rules
for taking care Of their health were
read from the army manual.
All afternoon drills were dispensed
with yesterday. The commissioned Of
ficers of Maj Hands battalion on
Mosquito hill had had the audacity to
challenge the officers from below to
cross bats with them on the parade
ground capt. Bona leo the force InaJ
was to assault the Mosquitoes, while
Lieut. Bookstaver came out with
husky nine to sustain the honor Of the
sick men.
For two innings the contest ragged
upon the diamond. Rioters from the
reserved seats on the hillside shouted
forth encouragement to the Mosquitoes,
while from outside the track Of the
man who marched up and down with
fixed bayonet came the yells Of the
fans in praise Of Capt. Bonds whack-
ers. Only one man below the rank of
second lieutenant got into the game,
and he was called upon to catch by
Capt Lieut.. Bookstaver because none
of the officers had long enough arms
TO reach the balls that came from the
hand of Pitcher Connors
The Whackers were first at bat and
they whacked and drew bases on balls
to their hearts content. In the first
inning they came within one man Of
going twice down their batting list.
When the umpire, Corporal Herworth,
finally found courage to call the third
officer out Capt Bonds children had
completed fourteen rounds Of the dia-
mond.
Then Capt Bond himself took the
ball and with his strong right arm and
influence over the umpire on account
fof his reputation for putting everybody
IN the guardhouse, held the Mosquitoes
