that the reply that will be made to
him will be as soon as he Is relieved

Abe Ruef, Of San Francisco, and the
land robbers Of Oregon were placed

detectives in stinging and bitter
terms.
The Governor, under his sub-head

says that the Fielder committee"

racks side of llaleiwa there is'a gulCh.

intercept the supply train. had to get
down the road and across the bridge
over the gulch, and right here was
who're the Blues beat them to IT," The
BluC troops coming from Wahiawa
scored heavily by getting to the bridge
first and destroying II, thus holding
the Reds on the other side of the
gulch. Tho umpires ruled that II
would take sixty Reds one hour to re-
pair the bridge.
And meanwhile the Blues occupied
a fine position on the other side of the
fulch, where they could keep the Reds
under fire.
Nearly all the action of today con.
tered around this gulch, the soldiers
firing at long range. Up to O'Clock
today the Reds had not succeeded in
repairing the bridge.
However. the Red artillery Is advan.
tagcously mounted on a hill overlook.
ing the gulch and ready to fire when
the train comes in sight.

There was also action elsewhere.

Of cavalry to act as independent cav.
to locate the enemy and engage them.
But the Blues were too clever, and the
defenders got the invaders under con.
cntratcd fire from ravincs. So sharp
was the lighting that the umpircs rul.
ed that the Reds had lost 30 per cent.
Of this independent cavalry, and ac.
cOrdingly 30 per cent. had to with.
draw.
Ono thing the mancuvcrs is showing
and that Is the Willingness and enthu.
siasm Of the enlisted men. They are
playing the big war game for all It is
worth. No matter how hard the going
-- and It is hard going over these hills
and gullics - the men are displaying
splendid spirit.
Major Smith said today that the ma.
ncuvcrs arc having fine effect. "They
are bringing the men together as
nothing else could do" he said to the
Bulletin. incidentally, It may he
remarked that except for one march
last year the Second Infantry hasnt
been together since coming to the isl.
and,
