there in time Monday to see the
army go into camp, and being delayed
from returning to Topeka on ac-
count of the rains, they decided to fol-

week They motored to Six Corners
and Reno behind the advancing col
uHnns, and near Tonganoxie they met
the scouts sent out from the Blue
army. Just before they entered the
town, they witnessed a cavalry and
artillery battle. The advantage of
watching a play fight is that the
spectator can sit in his automobile be-
tween the opposing lines and never
get his tires punctured. The party in

Hoge, and then returned to Topeka
