COLUMBUS GIVES A WARM
HAND TO 18TH CAVALRY

The arrival Of the Thirteenth Uni
ted States cavalry at Columbus last
week, after the long and dusty march
through the hot sun from Fl Paso.
found Columbus well prepared To
royalty receive the troopers.
A committee Of citizens had order
ed several barrels of standard sum
mer refreshments together with II
small mountain Of sandwiches to be
consumed with the bottled "wetness."
At noon the regiment arrived, so far
rs the soldiers knew, with neither
meal nor "chow" in sight, and the
mems enjoyment of the refreshments
provided can be better imagined than
described. Many and fervid were
the expressions Of appreciation and
the soldiers have developed liking
for the people Of Columbus that bids
fair to make their stay there pleas
ant one.
Nor were the officers neglected. A
banquet was prepared FOR them in
the Bank hall Friday night, which
was attended by all the leading citi-
sens Of Columbus. An address of
welcome was delivered by Mayor W.
G. Hoover. and responses were made
by Captain f. l.. Phillips Of Troop
II and other officers. The feast was
a sumptuous one and the evening one
thar will be long remembered by those
who attended.
There has been some criticism in
the past regarding the treatment OF
Uncle Sans soldiers in Columbus,
which may not have been deserved,
but there is no doubt but past upon
the occasion Of the arrival Of the
Thirteenth.

firing the heavy Springhelds oil the
morning, or marking up the scores
on the targets up the rocky hill sides.
Soup beef. potatoes, gravy, beans.

best punch ever mixed in this section.
Everyone ate until he found himself
unable 10 contain more. Several had
planned to ascend some Of the higher
peaks, but il is probable that few
found themselves able to negotiate
more than half Of the mountainside.
"RETREAT"

compelled and the bugle sounded ere
