exhausted. They declare, however, that
the disaster there was as appalling as
at Messina, IL not worse.
They say that the lower part Of Reg

FOOTBALL ON HORSEBACK.
One of the Novelties With Buffalo

iron Game.

or the many novel and interesting

football on horseback is probably the
most unique form OF entertainment
yet introduced. One can hardly be-
lieve that the art OF horse training
that a game Of football can be played
by men on horseback. but that such Ia
really the case will be proven when
the Wild West comes to town.
This is the nrst time the game has
been introduced with q public exhibi-
ton. Over in England some Of the
country clubs have tried the sport,
and it has been found equal to pony
polo in interest and excitement.
Whether the game will become popu-
lar in this country remains to be seen,
but as our people are always on the
lookout for novel forms OF amusement,
1t would not be surprising II 1t were
taken up and tried out by horsemen
in the United States.
The ball used is OF mammoth size.

about the riders and their horses ma

game OF football are brought out In

and It ia said that the game played
under these conditions Ia highly ex-
citing and decidedly amusing.

MEDALS FOR THE Volunteers
IN THE WAR WITH SPAIN

All volunteer soldiers of the United
States that served in the eighth army
corps in the Philippines Islands dur
Ing the insurrection under Aguinaldo
are entitled to commemorative bronze
medals by special act of congress and
they are being forwarded to them by
the government as fast as the necess-
sary proof is made. These medals
were authorized by congress on the
recommendation of President McKin-
ley seven years ago, but it Is only
within the last few weeks that their
disbursement was begun by the war
department
Among those entitled to them are
the members of the First Colorado
volunteers, several of whom live in
Canon City and it's surroundings.
The volunteer regiments of ten years
ago were enlisted only for the war
with Spain; the Philippine insurrec-
tion not having been dreamed of Mt
that time. The term of enlistment Of
the First Colorado regiment expired
April II, 1899, but the trouble with
Aguinaldo was on and it was con-
tinued in the military service under
the articles of war until relieved by
the arrival in the Philippines from the
United States OF 5000 troops, sent

over for the purpose of suppressing
the Tagal rebellion
The First Colorado regiment was on
the firing line in the Philippines from
February 4th to July 5th, after the
treaty of Paris had been signed and
the war with Spain was over. After
it's relief by regular troops sent over
from the United States its members
were ten days inside the defenses of
Manila awaiting arrangements for
their transportation back to San Fran
Chico. The medals were struck at the
Philadelphia mint and are a fine SOU
venir of army life in the Far East.
Several of them have been received
were during the last week or ten days
and others will be forthcoming as
soon as the requisite proofs of eligibil-
ity can be made. Among the members
of the First Colorado Volunteer regi-
ment in Canon City that we are able
to recall are H. W. ONO, bookkeeper
at the penitentiary, and w. I. Johnson
and Frank Smith, guards at that in
stitution. All of those entitled to these
war medals should take the necessary
steps to procure them at the earliest
possible date They are a memento to
which must be attached a great deal
of sentimental value.
