RUNNING Thu GUARD
POPULAR WITH SOLDIERS OF THE
EIGHTH INFANTRY AT FORT

MINNEAPOLIS ENTICES THEM

| Not a Few of the Boys in Blue Found
Themselves in the Guard House
as a Result OF Their Indulgence
Night-Forty-Fifth Still Recruit
ing.
Yesterday found the guard house of
the Eighth infantry at Fort Smelling well
filed with soldiers who made merry the
day before and took French leave by
| the Minnehaha route to Minneapolis.
Friday was pay day. and as the bridge
is the only accessible route to st. Paul,
and that was we'll guarded, the only
thing left for the men to do was 10
go to Minneapolis. 1t is not d fficuit
matter for the soldiers to get to Min
neapolis, but to get to st. Paul is inn
possible since the new regulations went
into effect and couple of vigilant SEN
tries pace the west end of the bridge
at all hours. Consequently all the
money that was spent by the soldiers,
with the exception of the few who had
passes, went through Minneapolis chan
nels. The Eighth infantry boys had
couple of months pay coming to them,
and as they come here direct from Cuba
to spend the winter it was quite natural
that they should want to do some shop
ping without waiting to be one of the
fortunate ten who are awarded passes
each day. There was a general exit from
the post Friday night by way of the
north side of the reservation to the
Minnehaha car line, three-Quarters of a
mile distant from the reservation line.
Those who got back in time for roll
call yesterday morning were fortunate,
but others who bought packages other
than dry goods did not Get back and
were rounded up and sent to the guard
house.
The men would, as a matter of choice,
rather come to St. Paul to do their
shopping, as it is the most accessible,
but under the present close guard which
is kept over the bridge a visit to this
city is impossible only upon presenta-
ton of pass.
AS for the men of the Forty fif h regi-
ment very few of them have any spare
change in their jeans as they have yet
to receive their first stipend from Uncle
Sam. 1t was stated at the camp of the
Forty-tfth yesterday by Capt. F. B.
Patrick that the pay rolls had been for
warded and visit from the paymaster
could be expected almost any time.
The regiment will, according to the
present understanding, leave st. Paul be-
tween Oct 20 and Nov. 1. Col Dorst
stated yesterday that the longer he was
allowed to remain in st. Paul the better
1t would suit him, as it would give am
pie opportunity to put the regiment in
good shape for the service that is eX-
pected of it.
Remarkable progress has been made in
every way.
