tened to an able sermon Sunday morning by
Chaplain Tate, whose subject was "The
Other Fellow meaning the opposite of the

The regiment was inspected by battalions
yesterday, the inspection taking place in the
streets of the camp. The new guns of the
regiment were used in the inspection.

pected in camp. He was a teamster with
the old Fifth cavalry.
The camp of the Second Nebraska is a
model of neatness, and is generally COM
plimented by visitors.
The general intelligence of the members
of the Second Nebraska is often remarked
upon. 1t is said that there are more read
ing men in this regimen. than any other
organization at the camp.
Colonel Melvin Grigsby's cowboys have
! shown themselves to be gentlemanly and
chivalrous. An incident illustrates this.
There are several Salvation Army women
who work among the soldiers. AS these
women were walking through the park they
were accosted by a party of infantrymen
who rudely and outrageously insulted them,
The occurrence took place near Colonel
Grigsby's camp, and his cowboys soon heard
of it. They were indignant, and a crowd
Of the rough riders went to where the SOL
dieIs were congregated and without any
ado proceeded to thrash the insolent in
fantrymen. They then escorted the women
to the train to see that no further insult
was offered them. This action of the cow
boys was very generally applauded.
The arrival of the arms for this regiment
is daily expected. When the guns are dis
tributed the regiment will be fully equipped.
Camp life is becoming very monotonous to
the men.
Colonel Grigsby and Lieutenant Colonel
Lloyd spent today on Lookout mountain.
Major French was in command during their
absence.
There are two quarter blood Indians en-
listed with the cowboys. Hicks Beach of
troop b is a quarter blood. and claims to be
the grandson of Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
the famous Englishman. Private Yeates OF
