CAMP LAKEVIEW, LAKE CITY,
Mimi, July 20-(Special.) miss March, of
1itchf1eld, sister of Col. March, was in
jured this morning while climbing the
bluff back Of the camp. A party consist
ing of Miss March, Maj Hendley and
wife, Mrs Fulcrut, Mrs. Emery and Ser
geant Rask left camp early this morning
to climb the hill. They succeeded in
reaching the summit of the bluff and after
short rest started to descend at the
steepest point. Miss March caught the
heel OF her shoe in twig and was thrown
onto her face. The force OF the fall and
the steepness Of the decline started her
to rolling down the hill. She fell over
one precipice about nine feet high and
would have fallen over another one about
of mind to catch the underbrush and
check her progress. She escaped with a
few slight injuries about the face and
body. Mrs. Fulcrut tainted away from
the effects Of the excitement.
Col March was sent for and was soon
at the scene of the accident with a detail
of fifteen men from the hospital corps
He directed the work of placing the two
ladies' the stretchers and conveying
them to the infantry hospital. The pa
tients are both doing very nicely and
Miss March feels greatly improved. Col
March telephoned his mother and brother,
N. D. March, at Litchfield, and they are
expected in camp tonight.
Capt. and Mrs. Emery and Lieut.. and
Mrs. Fulcrut gave very pretty breakfast
this morning at $50 at the Company
quarters, in honor Of Col. and Mrs.
March, Miss March, Maj. and Mrs Hend-
ley Lieut. Chute and Capt O. E. Lee
The regiment went out for battalion
and company drills this morning and
Notwithstanding the intense heat they
went at the work with a will. Col. March
is high in his praise of the men in his
command and never tires of speaking of
the grand work they are doing. Tomor-
row morning the third battalion will have
extended order drill with blank amuni-
ton.
On account of the heat the command
was excused from drill this afternoon.
Col March went the rounds with Capt.
Rask and the officer of the day last night
and states that he did not find a man on
guard duty that did not know the general
orders. While he was going the rounds
he discovered twelve young men from
Lake City, who were rather noisy. AS
they did not cease at his request, he or
dered them placed under arrest and con-
Quoted to the guard house. The full de-
tail of guards was turned out and did
excellent work in rounding up the pris-
oners. They were confined in the guard
house until the colonel had completed
going the rounds when he returned and
gave them a talking to and then dis
missed them.
