1t was reserved for the commanding
officer of an Arizona post, one-coin-
pany outfit, to inflict so barDarous
punishment upon an offending soldier
that the whole scale Of punishment IN
the United States army was revised
and made hard and fast. This COM
handing officer was a captain, and the
affair happened in 1879. He mad III
his company a soldier who was a very
hard case, and put in most OF MS time
in the guard house. He completed
guard house term in the autumn OF
1879. and Immediately repaired to the
nearby town of whisky shacks and
made himself exceedingly drunk. lie
returned to the post with the announc-
ed intention Of razlng 1t to the level OF
the desert and firing a volley over its
ashes. The captain had him lassoed
as he was entering the post. He order
ed that hole sufficiently large to re-
ceive the upright body Of a man be
dug In the sand of the parade ground,
When the hole was dug the captain or
dered that the hard-case soldier be
stood in 1t up to his neck, and that
the sand be then repacked around him
as tightly as possible, covering his
arms and shoulders and leaving only
his head protruding above the ground.
The captains orders were obeyed. The
offending soldier, still more than half
drunk, was packed in the sand hole,
his head alone catching the rays of the
semi-tropical sun, and a sentry was
placed over him. The sun was nothing
compared to the desert ants. The ants
sent out their courlers to the highways
and byways and dunes and hOllows,
and 1t was no time at all before some
thousands of them, big, red, spider
like and ferocious, were running over
the soldiers head. They crawled into
his ears and his nose and his mouth,
and they caused him such unspeakable
agony that he shouted in frenzy. The
sentry finally revolted against this
punishment, and his comrades Joined
