structed to remain with the guard dur
ing the entire detail tour of duty, and
they will be held strictly accountable
for the efficiency of the guard. A men,
Der of each brigade staff will be ap-
pointed to instruct the guard in their
duty.
The guard suffers from lack Of arms
There are not enough rifles in camp
for the men who are expected to pro-
tect the camp at night, and the relief
guard as g rule depends upon the old
guard for It's rifles. To this fact much
of the confusion is due.
A green looking mountaineer from
Kentucky taught the Montana cowboys
how to ride horse yesterday. Four Of
the best riders among the Grigsby
rough riders had been thrown by the
animal, when tall, gawky individual
offered to ride the beast. He was per-
mitted to try, though everybody
thought they would have some sport,
but to their complete surprise he mas
tered the animal and brought it to
terms. 1t was remarkable feat of
horsemanship, and today he is the hero
of the rough riders 20 ~4
