THE FIGHTING REGIMENT.
Twenty-secOnd Infantry Has Record
to Be Proud OF.

No one conversant with the history of

surprised when Gen. Funston selected it

Where there is any particularly hard or
nasty work for the army to do the Twen-
ty-secOnd, it seems, is always picked out
for the job. but by no manner OF
chance" is it ever on the list Of pleasant
stations or agreeable details. II is
known as ''the fighting regiment" and
the authorities seem to think that is re-
ward enough for all their work.
Originally organized in 1866 of the
Second and Third battalions of the old
Thirteenth Regiment it fell heir 70 a
fighting record. The original colonel of
the Thirteenth was William Tecumseh
sherman and one of its first captains Phil
Sheridan. The first colonel of the Tween
ty-second was Gen. David S. Stanley and
its Lieutenant colonel was Gen. Elweu 6
Otis
For twenty-five years the Twentv-sec-
Ond spent its time fighting Indians and
building forts. with a slight variation
during an alleged station East of the
Missouri. the only one ever given n
Ihen the regiment was assigned TO seven
forts along the lakes from Buffalo to the
500. and In less than three months seven
companies were ordered to New Orleans
TO assist Gen. Sheridan in maintaining
the peace against the White Leaguers
Besides this. they served in the Penn
sylvania anthracite coal riots and The
railroad riots at Chicago. Then came
the Custer massacre, and the entire reei-
ment was ordered back TO the Indian
country for service. In 1891 for the first
time in its history the regiment was as
sembled at Fort Keogh, and that was the
last time too.
After the Cuban campaign. IL went 70

is. unless present arrangements are
