SOLDIER BOYS RETURNED
From Thursdays Daily.

|
Company H of Mankato returned
this noon from Camp Mccoy, Sparta,
Wis, where they have spent ten
days in army manoeuvers and mill
tary training. A special train carry
ing several companies passed through
the city today. These companies
were: A of New Ulm, l. of Redwood
Falls, X of st. Peter, the latter leav-
ing at Mankato Junction, of Worth
ington, Fl of Mankato and E of
Fairmont The New Ulm band and
machine gun company also were on
this special train.
Captain Scott, Lieutenants r. G..
Erwin and E. r. Brown returned with
the company. Thirty-nine members
of Company H returned fresh and
feeling fine after their experience
in camp. With the company was
Colonel C. E. Johnson of the third
regiment.
Colonel Johnson stated in an inter
view that no one was hurt or became
sick while in camp and the boys got
great deal of good from their eX-
perience in camp. There were some
warm army manoeuvers, especially
of the battery, who placed some tar.
gets on the other side of a hill, and
although they could not see the
target, took the ranges so accurately
that they battered the targets to
pieces.
The boys left Mankato week
ago last Tuesday, and arrived at
Sparta at 1:45 p. m. 1t took just
seventeen minutes to unload. Trains
in four sections brought the troops
land militia members to camp, which
covered about 1000 acres. About
5000 men were at camp during the
ten days.
The weather was little unfavor-
able, raining at times during a few
of the days, but not so unfavorable
as to impair the practice work. The
practice work was light, and an Off
GERS school was also conducted there
The boys preferred it to the camp
at Lake City.
The new marching shoe was all
that was claimed for it and came up
to the standard in every way. The
boys of Company H marched to the
armory this afternoon, led by Cap
tain A. o. Scott.

From Thursdays Daily.

G.. A. Parker of the Dan Patch line
was in the city yesterday in the in
terests of the road and while here
stated that the Dan Patch cars would
run into Mankato soon. He said
positively that it would run into this
city, and over the Great Western
tracks, but did not state what ar
rangements had been made with the
Great Western people for the use of
their tracks. At the present time
there is some delay caused by liti-

'DAGO' PULLED A KNIFE
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Only the timely appearance of a
party in an automobile on the scene
is said to have averted stabbing
and an arrest in saloon on North
Front street last night The police
received a call to come to the scene
at once as a 'dago" had pulled a
knife and was about to stab some OF
his associates, who it is claimed
picked onto the 'dago" and abused
him. He told the automobilist that
he drew the knife in self-defense.
However, when the police arrived
at the saloon, the "dago" was gone,
an automobile, whose owner is con-
nected with the firm for which the
"dago" works, having picked the lat
ter up and driven up the hill to the
stone quarries.
