.FLORENCE'S BOYS
IN ARMY BLUE
Only One of the Detail from this
Town Rejected
GLIMPSES OF THEM. IN CAMP

'S MUMMY moiuoot tut l. HSt
Regiment, Colorado Volunteers,
nevertheless presented most sol
dierly appearance when n Tribune
reporter visited the camp this
week.
Over 1000 men camped on a
space equal to about two city
blocks, made the ground in much
the same condition as a herd of
cattle in a corral would make it
under similar conditions. In
trout of the Quartermaster's and
Commissary tent, especially, the
mud was liquid and ankle deep
But there were marvclously few
complaints and military discipline
prevailed to nicely. OF course,
the interiors of the tents are per-
fectly comfortable.
1t is not our province to de-
scribe the camp at large. Space
does not permit, although it makes
a most interesting tale, as told day
by day in the spacious columns of
the Denver papers. The Tribune
reporter sought merely. to report
something of the Florence boys
who are now clothed in the blue.
A disappointment was encount-
cred at the outset. Roy McCand-
less has not yet achieved the cor
poral's stripes, although he is
wearing them. A scarcity of pri
Yates uniforms accounted for the
error.
But the contradictory rumors as
to the rejection of the Florence
lads, especially the Davis boys,
were set at rest All had been ex-
amined, save F. A. Brackley, and
all had passed, save Stewart. A
man named -Shoff, who went to
Pueblo with them, was of course
not accepted even there, but no
one supposed that he would be, as
he had badly deformed hand.
The examination was most rigid.
In testing the hearing, for exam
pie, the examiner thrust a finger
deep in one ear until, the boys
said, it made the head ring, and
then an officer spoke in converse
tional tones at distance of TWEEN
ty PAGES. The eyes were also sub
jected to sharp test as to the
ability to read small print at a dis
lance.
Some of Florence's quota had
feared rejection on account of dis
parity of weight and height, as
many men, little too tall for their
number of pounds or little too
heavy for their inches, were turned
down.
The Florence boys are divided
between companies A and @ of the
newly formed regiment. Custer
expects to exchange into Troop A
of the cavalry very shortly, but
the others are content where they
are.
Several of the boys from Canon
City were rejected
Our men had no complaints to
make. They looked well in their
blue uniforms, although they have
had little drill, owing to the
wretched weather. They are TAX
ing their turns at guard duty, how
ever.
Naturally, the grub is a fertile
source of complaint with new re-
cruits, but none were heard in this
instance. Each company has its
own cooks and cooking outfit, and
draws uncooked rations daily,
from the quartermaster.
The boys are all well and in
good spirits and are looking for
ward to slight change of scene
when they go into camp at Fort
Logan next week.

ON the mart of On, neonle to incorporate
tho town info a c;tv. and tate advan.
tage of the many privileges that the
city charter allows. The factory people
are very desirous to add their new
streets to the city. The erection of a
new city hall, the curbing and widening
of streets the opening of new
streets, the extension of Charlotte
street across the creek, are q few OF
the many improvements needed
to give the town boom, all of which
could be the better done under a city
charter. Aud then again we would
have d. flute form of government with
one person at the head. AS it is now,
we have no one in charge of the town
affairs, and we are like an army with
out head. That we need change in
our charter is beyond doubt. The
borough charters are fatty, and the
fact that almost every other borough
does it's official business in a haphazzard
manner and that no lawyer can inter
pert defiuite law for the conduct of
borough affairs, proves at once that a
borough charter would not be desirable.
We now have town charter which is as
full of faults as possible, so the only
remedy is city charter. Who will start

Obituary.

The sad news of the death of Herbert
C. Tatem, member of the firm of Stephens
& Tatem. of Camden, who also have a
place of business among us, reached here
lest week. Mr.. Tatem represented the
firm here personally for two years and
won the respect and admiration of all
with whom he came in contact. He
was a member OF Salem Church, while a
resident here, as was bis wife also.
Deceased was sick but short time and
of course his death was shock and q
surprise to his family. the immediate
cause of death was brain fever, brought
on it is thought, by injuries received by
recently falling from a bicycle. He was
thrown from his wheel and struck upon
bis head causing concussion of the brain
from which he never recovered.
