Guard House in Use.
Special to the Register.
KEYSER, w. Va. August 24.-The
First regiment boys, who are in camp
here, seem to be enjoying their outing
as thoroughly as any set of fellows
could. The work yesterday was prin-
cipally routine camp work, strict
guard being enforced and the strictest
military discipline being observed. A
number of boys were placed in the
guard house for attempting to run the
guard lines, and Private Joseph Voltz,
of Company A, is under guard await
ing trial by summary military court,
charged with shooting a loaded shell
from the camp into a nearby wood, in
which there were at the time a number
of soldiers whose lives We're thus en-
dangered.
A board of officers will some time
during the week examine a number of
applicants for promotion
On Saturday Governor Atkinson and
staff will review the regiment
Gov. G. w. Atkinson, accompanied
by Mrs. Atkinson, Quartermaster Gen
eral Somerville and Adjutant General
John w. H. Appleton, arrived here at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
were driven at once TO the camp ground
OF the First West Virginia Regiment
National Guard. The Governor spent
the afternoon in camp and spoke very
highly of the splendid appearance of
the regiment in camp. At 6 o'clock
he reviewed the regular dress parade,
which was executed in manner that
would have done credit to veterans.
Governor Atkinson will visit the
camps again before his departure
The officers Of the day were as fol-
lows: Officer of the Day, Capt. Carle-
ton c. Pierce, of Company G; officer of
the Guard, Lieut.. J. l.. Lakin. of Com
pany NJ; Junior Officer OF the Guard,
Lieut.. w. T. Crawford, of Company A.
Wednesdays officers of the day were:

Arrangements are being made for a
sham battle Saturday afternoon, to
take place on old Fort Fuller, where
some lively skirmishing took place dur
ing the civil war. Col. Smith is desir-
GUS of affording as much amusement
and pleasure to the people of Keyser
as possible, and there is no doubt but
TO see some of the scenes of the six
ties re-enacted in a farcical way will be
a delight to those who are so fortunate
as to witness the event. 1t is under
stood that the plan of the battle will
be to- place one battalion in charge Of
the fort and have the other two bat
talions capture the first one.
