Some Second Regiment Promotions
and Discharges.
CAMP LAKEVIEW, LAKE CITY,
MINN.-Yesterday was one of the most
miserable days of the encampment. The
night turned cold and early in the morn
ing. long before reveille, many of the
boys were compelled to leave their beds
and walk he streets to keep warm The
day was cold enough at all times for an
overcoat During the forenoon rain fell
and greatly interfered with the camp
routine. Preliminary firing was the order
for range work for the morning. The
firing was at 200 yards and for the pur
pose of instructing the recruits, many Of
whom had never received any instruction
on the range. The hospital corps and am
bulance were on range all the morning.
