wagons from entering the camp.
The cooks worked clever ruse to evade
the temperance order. Large water bar
rels were placed in the rear of the mess
tents and covered with boards, apparently
making tables. During the night the bar
rels were filled with bottled beer and
Clipped ice
The crusade against the beer commenced

compelled to leave their meal and march to
