Company As Hike.

Company "a" with its three officers
and thirty men started out on its prac-
tice march Saturday evening at about
seven O'Clock for the Kuehnel farm.
Arriving at the Kuehnel farm, suit.
able place was picked for the encamp.
ment for the night, short distance
up the ravine from the Kuehnel house.
Shelter tents were pitched at once and
the men prepared comfortable hunks
from hay that was provided by Cook
Kuehnel. 1t was late by the time
everything was prepared SO that no
drill could be taken up, but the men
were formed for outposts and we're
kept on voluntary duty until about
two O'Clock. Major Vogel and Lieut..
Juni accompanied the boys to the
camp, but suddenly disappeared, and
It was rumored that they would return
with force of the enemy and surprise
the camp, SO the boys were on the
alert and watchful, but no attempt to
surprise the camp was made. Early
on Sunday morning the boys we're
lined up for little drill and saluted
the flag as it was raised on the flag
staff. Shortly after it began to rain
and kept up for the entire day. The
boys were not deferred, however, by
this circumstance, but made merry
and enjoyed their stay to the utmost.
returning at about four o'clock.
