DR.. Fry has entire charge of the
quarantine camp now, and whenever

ctor. Yesterday he took care of
yery bad case of heart disease that
developed seriously. Sergeant Brockett,
Company /, was the victim. TIE ser

If course, disqualifies him for service

watching the men. The heat seemed

IN the meantime it took six men to
lold him. When DR.. Fry arrived, the
seriousness of the case was realized,

might not survive. Brockett made
Inc soldier, and was very popular in
ais company. Besides his life with the
fifteenth, he had experience in the
national guard.
The men il The detached battalion
are becoming disconnected under their
>lCse confinement. They say that the
only difference between themselves and
he 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 than
among the companies that axe allowed
greater freedom. However that may
be, Company H only mustered three
roll call yesterday morning, while Com
pany K went them better with two sets
Or sixteen men. Of course, there are
more men fit for duty, but the rest
were either on guard or in the guard
house. It's a rather slim showing at
best.
Every effort was made by the off,
GERS to cheer the men. The morning

and he was called upon to catch by
Capt-Lieut. Bookstaver, because none

hand of Pitcher Connors.
The Whackers We're 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
Of his reputation for putting everybody
