CAMP HUACHUCA, Ariz.. Aug. '. The First regiment of National Guard had it's first experience in war fare today when the chief trumpeter sounded assembly at 1:25 D. m. The first battalion under Major Grnstead
 marched slowly to the north constant ly on the lookout for the enemy
 which was supposed to have been ad- Vancing on the fort. Company B of Phoenix took the advance with flank CTS on all sides to protect the main
 body which was ready and waiting
 for the enemy. The Fourth U S. A.
 cavalry worked on the right Much anxiety was shown among the citi- zen soldiers, all wishing for the would
 be enemy. After much hard work the
 boys were called back by the sound of
 recall at $40 o'clock D. m. The men
 retired to quarters where they were
 dismissed thus leaving everybody as-
 sured that no night call would be
 made. At retreat the men. guns and
 quarters were inspected by the com pany commanders Everything was
 found in first class shape especially
 Company B of Phoenix, which has al
 ways been the pride of the First Ari-
 1phci ICS iIIICIl Ol lIlldIlIN.
 Tomorrow work will be on the line
 of regimental drill. The open places
 will be used as drill grounds while
 the ravines and mountains will be carefully watched by the U s. cav
 airy. The outpost duties will also be
 taught more thoroughly. Col. Tuthin will be in command The entire regi- ment of infantry and part of the T.
 S cavalry have been given orders to
 advance on the Mexican border with field rations and full equipment They will make this hike by the way of Gardner canyon where in case of war. the enemy would undoubtedly take advantage of this fertile valley and
 establish it's base of supplies
 Company B is making special prep aratiOns for one of the best feeds the company has enjoyed since it's arrival
 in camp. The dinner will be cooked and served under the able mess ser
 geant. Chas Cheney. Several high
 ranking officers will be on deck to partake of the delightful spread. A special order of pork has been put in for the popular variety of roast pigs from the hog ranch so popular by all the guardsmen
 Grand preparations are being made to entertain Gov Hunt when he makes his special and official trip here to in spect the Arizona citizen soldiers Several banquets will be given in his honor during his short visit here. It has not been made known just how | long he will stay but he is expected | to stay here at least two days
 The effects of the typhoid vac | cinatiOn which was given to the guardsmen last Sunday are now en- | tirely overcome. The second vaccina-
 tion will take place next Teusday. and 1 it is hoped by the surgeons that the
 second shot of it will be as successful
 as the first.

 streets are policed each morning. re- moving every bit of paper and waste l on the ground.
 l The guard line has been reinforced l by an extra number of men. and care l will be taken not to let any man gC 1 in or out of the encampment grounds
