of War Alger gives them permission.

that such were the wishes of the COM

There is no telling at this time when

MOVING DAY IN CAMP.
Yesterday was moving day in the
Fifteenth regiment. All the companies
except A and D gathered UP their
goods and chattels and hied them
selves away to new homes and streets.
They were a gypsy-looking crowd with
their blankets and baskets, boxes and
bundles. There was little confusion,
considering the number of men in
volved. Each company was notified
early just how many streets away and
the direction given that they would
! move. Some of the boys had rather
elaborate fixtures in their camp homes,
and these were put to some inconven-
ieECS, Dut IiOl lHdu LII
| fact 1T was sort of a novel merry
making experience.
The boys were feeling extra good
yesterday, anyway. None of them had
gene to the hospital, and the battalion
drills which had been inaugurated two
days before have put them on their
n1ettle. The weather has been just
right for camp life and hard work for
the past three days. The regiment
stands in this order. walking east from
the race track: A, H, L, D-B, K, M, E
&C, I, G, F.
Company A ranks the First battalion,
Company B the Second and Company
c the Third.
PRIVATE REHA'S TROUBLE.
Considerable excitement was caused
in the regiment by Private Lewis Reha,
Of Company c, Wednesday night. Reha
has been acting rather peculiarly for
some days. He seemed to be laboring
under extreme nervous tension. Sew
eral times he would approach the Of
hcers and Insist on saluting them
when 1T was uncalledfor and unnec-
essary. His Attention officers" had
become sort of byword. His actions
were looked upon as the result of over
enthusiasm. But Wednesday night he
became possessed of the idea that a
colored man was trying to rob his COM
fadeS. He ran out of his COMPANY
street, unclothed, and, running up to
Sentinel No. 8, insisted on the ina GIN
airy mans arrest. 1t soon became
no1sed around that there was a crazy
soldier in the camp, and curious SOL
diers came from all over the regiment
Reha became somewhat excited at the
attention he was attracting, and be-
came SO noisy and violent that he was
taken to the guard house. where he
