Cases Observation-Disclosures to Be
Buried at Smelling With Military
HOnors-Sicl& Taken to Hospital.
Camp Ramsey bore a dismal look
yesterday despite the fact that half of
the regiment were made richer about
$1l.000 more than they woke up with
Maj. Cummings, the government pay
master, arrived at camp about noon,
and had finished paying at p. m. The
work would have been done much
quicker but for the fact that SO many
from several companies were sick
That caused considerable delay in the
proceedings, as the company comman-
ders had to seal the money up in en-
velopes and mark them for future de-
livery to the men.
The effect of having plenty of coin
was more apparent along towards
evening, and the probabilities are that
the guard put in a busy night. During
the day several sneaks were made over
to the hotel, and several ran the guard
deliberately.
Today the paymaster expects to fin
ish paying the regiment. The process
of paying is simple. The companies
are drawn up in double file and the
names called from the muster roll. AS
each mans name is called he steps for
ward, is identified by his captain, and
is handed his money which has been
already courted Many of the boys
were sending sums of money home last
night, and many deposited the larger
part of their pay with their company
officers. An extra strong guard was
thrown around the huckSter stands on
the fair grounds, and several pinches
were made in the early evening Of men
who would just patronize them any
way. No one was exempt, officers or
enlisted men. They all looked alike to
the sentinels.
On request of Gov. Clough, Private Jo-
seph S. Dwyer, Of Company G, was
granted five days to visit his father,
tho is sick at Graceville.
The cid camp grounds looked bleak
yesterday; all the debris had been
raked together and burned. About all
that was left to denote the five weeks
occupancy was few smouldering fires
ana one or two deserted mess sheds.
COMPANY H SORROWFUL.
The boys of Company H felt very
badly yesterday when they learned of
the death of their comrade, Everett
Calvert. Everett enlisted at Worthing-
ton, where he was employed upon a
farm. He had lived in that vicinity
but a short time. On the muster roll
he designated a brother, who lives at
Horgren's Corner, Wis, and a sister
at Plattsville Wis, as his nearest kin.
That is all that is known of his fam
lily. They had not been located at Z
o'clock last night. Calvert was born
at Plattsville and was twenty-five
years old. He was an enthusiastic
soldier and had made many warm
friends among the boys of Company
H. Unless his relatives are located
and desire differently, Calvert will be
buried today in the cemetery at Fort
Smelling. A squad of his former COM
rades of Company H will act as pail
bearers. He will be given military
funeral in all details, except a firing
squad. All arrangements for the flu
neral were made by Quartermaster
Zoe early in the day, under instruc-
tiou of Col. Leonhauser.
By mistake Private Ben Johnson
who Is sick with fever, was included
in Company G. sick list. He is a mem
Der of Company D.
THIRTY-TWO MORE SICK.
Thirty-two soldiers of the Fifteenth
were taken away from Camp Ramsey
yesterday sick with typhoid. They
were taken, through the kindness of
the ST. Paul Red Cross society. to
Bethesda hospital. Mr.. A 8. Tall
madge, of the society, went out and
assisted in moving them from tbc
