HOFFMAN WINS LAURELS

Lansing, Kan, Aug. 2S-Three
hears of fierce fighting today, in
VIII ch the Blue army held firmly its
.ontrenched position on the hills near
here, brought to close the mimic
war which has ragged in northeastern
Kansas for over week and left the
armies of the Reds and Blues camp
ed side by side with friendly rela-
tons restored, yet each claiming the
ctory. The Official decision of the
umpres was awaited with Intense in
tcrcst The Blue army, commanded
By Colonel Daniel Cornman, outnum-
bered the Red army, commanded by
Colonel Hatfield.
The fact that the Blues held their
trenches against the Reds, who were
bent on cutting them off from Fort
Leavenworth, was regarded as eVl-
Gence of Blue victory The attack
on the Blue position began with both
armies scattered But soon the Blue
commander concentrated his force IN
the hill trenches, where three regi-
ments of infantry, a squadron OF cav
airy. four batteries and a machine gun
company of Reds pounded away al
them vainly for two hours. The
of killed and wounded on
10th sides was large.
A feature of the final engagement
was a daring charge in the face of
terrific fire led by Colonel Roy HON
nan and his regiment, the First Okla
homa National Guards. 1t came just
I a., Il e
and the battle was ended, leaving
Colonel Cornman in such strong po-
sitjon he plainly could not be ousted.
