DAILY PRESS NOTES.
Minneapolis Tribune:
Lieut.. Rice has recovered the use OF
his wrist, which he sprained while
wrestling with one of his men IL few
days ago.
Lieut.. Rice was the recipient OF a
very fine sword, with chamois skin
case and belt. The donors name is
too dear to the lieutenant to be given
out.
Lieut.. Haley is the hero of the
camp. He was junior officer Of the
guard Thursday night and about 2
O'Clock in the morning found a crowd
of eight or ten privates outside the
eight-foot barbed wire fence waiting
for a chance to creep through hole
and run the guard line. Those we're
the boys the officer was laying for.
He commanded them to halt, to which
proposition the offenders returned a
SASSY" reply, casting discredit on
the ability of the lieutenant to catch
them and otherwise using unbecoming
language. On the face of the situa-
ton it looked safe enough to revile
the lieutenant, for an eight-foot wire
fence is one of the accepted defenses
of modern war. But it took Lieut..
Haley and most of his uniform only
the better part of a minute to get out
side that fence, and then began as
pretty chase as was ever seen in
that neighborhood. The private still
thought the lieutenant could not catch
him, and said so, after a sprint of
quarter of a mile the culprit was over
hauled and yanked to the guard
house, where he is now resting. Ex-
ira guards were posted, and the others
of the crowd, after remaining outside
all night, came into camp and gave
themselves up. Lieut.. Haley's victim
was Private Hawley, Co. I, and is
now up against charge of resisting
arrest and of being outside the camp
after taps without leave.

St. Paul Globe:
Henry G. Traue was promoted cor
poral of Co. D, vice AL. Garwell, re-
duced.
Samuel Merritt and Nels Hokanson
were transferred to Co. I.
Quartermaster Coe nearly had a
fit yesterday morning when he looked
out of his tent and saw Lieut.. Phil.
Haley, OF Co. D, heading string of
calves up the slope to camp. Phil.
had made some pleasant remark to
Secretary Randall about the appear
ance of the critters as he came by the
drove, which stood down by Randall's
barn at the time. They Immediately
jumped to the conclusion that Phil
was friend of theirs, aud insisted on
escorting him to his quarters whether
or no. AS he strolled along he at
tracted considerable attention. Capt.
Mason Spicer was officer of the day,
and he spotted the procession from his
headquarters over near the guard
house. Hey, boys!" he yelled. Get
on to the calves following off the
green lieutenant" That settled it.
Everybody piped Phil. off. The
calves were so very persistent in their
and the boys so persistent
in their joshing that Phil. had to ap-
peal to Mr.. Randall to call the ami
mails off, which Eugene managed to-
do by changing the bait from lieuten-
ant to bright tin pail. If Phil. only
draws as we'll with razor-back hogs |
down South the Fifteenth will not go
hungry.
