COMPANY al"
ENJOY SHAM BATTLE

Last Friday afternoon Company
'T'' boys left Payette for Fruitland
where the Company was Joined by
the Fruitland boys and then moved
west where they expected to meet the
Ontario High School boys in a sham
battle but were disappointed for the
reason that the Ontario Boys had
passed Fruitland earlier in the day
and had taken up their position on
high hill south west of Fruitland
where they were waiting for Company
.I'' to make their attack on them
in their chosen position which was
a hill 125 feet high and surrounded
by a deep ravine. The Company
drove all their advance posts back
onto their main body and made
charge on the hill but were unable
TO take it on account of the position
they held and their number which
was almost three to one of the Com
pany. Saturday morning the Ontario
North and Company ''P' to the south
with practically, the same number OF
men that they had the day before
and after about an hour they COM
menced a forward movement onto
each other. The advance skirmish
line of the Company permitted the
Ontario advance line to move past
them and almost onto the main body
of the Company and then took them
all prisoners. Ontario's main body
then advanced but were stopped by
the Company's advance guard who
finally withdrew towards the lett
flank. Ontario then attempted to
make a flank movement on the Com
pany's right and left but were them
selves outmoved on their right and
.ost their entire thanking body by
reason of being surprised and fired on
by an almost equal body of the Com
pany's at about so yards. The cadets
then made a charge on the thanking
party of the Company who gradually
withdrew and permitted the main
body of the cadets to advance into a
trap which exposed them to a rak-
ing fire from the main body of the
Company onto their left flank which
would have annihilated the cadets In
few minutes. The Company and
its officers were highly compliment
ed by he regular army officers in
charge for the way the whole move
ment was conducted and brought tc
final finish.
The boys should be congratulated
on winning this last battle from the
Cadets as they were outnumbered al
most three to one, and it will be re
membered that last summer it was
Company 81" that outmoved ano
whipped four Companies of the Wash
ington National Guard thus turning
and driving back the whole right
wing of the Blue force at the Ma
tional maneuvers in Washington.
The balance of the day Saturday
was devoted to rifle practice there
being several prizes offered by the
merchants of Payette andi Fruitland
the winners of which will be annount
ed In next weeks paper.
