FOR CUARDSMEN
Regulars Give the State Troops Seine Much
Needed Lessons.
EAGEnNEsS TO FIGHT SOMETIMES FATAL
Outpost Instruction of Practical Sort
Conveyed by Means of Actual
Encounter at Fort Riley


FORT RILEY, Kan, Oct. 2.-Intensely
practical, exceedingly useful, but in no way
picturesque were the maneuvers today.
They consisted entirely OF instruction for
the men of the National guard in the forma-
tion OF outposts and the performance OF
outpost duty. There were three exercises,
all exactly alike and the general descrip-
ton OF one applies to the others.
In each exercise a regiment OF regulars
established the outpost, the officers Of the
National guard accompanying the com
mander OF the regulars as spectators. When
the outpOsts OF regulars had been fully es-
tablished and the details Of the work made
clear to the officers OF the National guard,
the state troops were called up and sent out
TO relieve the regulars on the outpost.
The Sixth regular infantry established the
outpost for the First Kansas, the Eigh-
teenth infantry for the Second Kansas and
the Twenty-second infantry for the Colo
RADIO battalion. When the state troops were
completely established on the outpost an
attack was made by a small force OF saw
airy. II was the assumption that the at
lacking force was much larger in number
than the outpost. Troop e OF the Fourth
cavalry attacked the front OF the First
Kansas, troop F OF the same regiment
pushed In on the front OF the Second Kan
sas and troop G OF the Fourth made 1t in
teresting for the Colorado men.
Too Eager TO Fight.
The National guard men did excellent
work in forming their outposts, the pickets
and reserves being posted promptly and
with no delay. When. however, the attack
began the National guardsmen showed how
much the instruction given at such a camp
is needed by them. No criticism couId be
made OF the gallantry and their willingness

guilty was the drowning of the woman.

Street, Georgetown, and became engaged
in a quarrel about dollar, which Nor
man accused the woman of stealing from
him while he was asleep.
Norman struck the woman, and she fed
rom the house.
He followed her, and, taking hold of
her. threw her into the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, where she was drowned.
