New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-07-19

Among the many things to suffer from
the intense heat and immense rains is
baseball. Again the game between the
Gonzagas and St. James had to be called
off on account of the heavy rains.
Drivers refuse to take their cars out
Nowadays fearing they will never
reach their destination.

Thos. Collins disputed the right of
way with freight car at the North
western yards one day last week and
came out second best in the encounter.
No serious damage was sustained but it
is not likely that Mr.. Collins will try
the stunt over again right away.

SECOND REGIMENT
TRAVELLING SOUTH
NEW ULM MEN WILL REACH
THEIR DESTINATION NEAR
BORDER TODAY.
TEXAS LATE MONDAY
ALL ALIVE AND LIVELY SPITE
OF HEAT.

Travelling Ill udy COdCIlcS pdTC VI Lle
way, the Giants of the North arrived in
Texas not much the worse for wear
Monday afternoon altho few were
suffering from swollen feet and severe
headaches due probably to the heat
which was terrific all the way. The
sleepers which had been promised the
Second Regiment which entrained Satur-
day morning were not forthcoming until
the trains reached Parsons, Kansas, and
the men were glad to find place to
really rest after the hot days run. At
many places along the line the people
were out in force to give the boys cheer
for cheer and to supply them with re-
freshments to relieve the monotony of
military fare.
The location of the camp to which the
Minnesota troops were sent was not
made definitely known but it was ex-
pected to be somewhere in the neighbour
hood of Mercedes which is six miles from
the Mexican border. The Second Regi-
ment travelled in three sections, running
one hour apart and keeping we'll to
schedule altho they were late in getting
out of tn. Cities. At numerous stops
the men were given leave to stretch
their legs by taking short hikes thru the
towns.
AS is natural in hot weather, the
southern watermelons appeal hugely to
the boys and every one in sight sells.
The Texans have become noted for their
hospitality to the various divisions of
troops that have passed their way and
there seems to be no end to their willing
ness to entertain the men in khaki: The
First and Third Regiments found this
to be the situation and the Second has.
been experiencing the same kind of
treatment all the way.
When the physical examinations were
completed last week, a number of the
Company A and Machine Gun Company
boys were keenly disappointed to find
that they would not be allowed to ac-
company the Regiment because of
physical unftness. Others whose terms
of enlistment expire shortly were also
sent back home. Those who were not al
lowed to 60 came home Saturday night,
not very happy looking crowd spite
of the congratulations of their friends
who were overjoyed to see them back
at home. Those of Co. A who were
were: Privates Grams, Mel
son, Helm, Dewanz, Rubie, Mueller,
Buchan, Manderfeld, CHASER, Garbrecht,
The terms of enlistment of
Sergeant Neumann and Quartermaster
Sergeant Reinke and Private Brandt also
expired at this time. Reinke was the
only one of the three to re-enlist.
The Machine Gun men who returned
were Cook B. Juni, Cook H. Windhorn,
Corp. Alt. B. Ouren, Privates Fred.
Gust H. Doose, Edward J.
Wersal, Clarence Anderson, ALT. M.
Ouren, Lieut.. John A. Dengler, LIST. Sergt.
H. F. Jahnke, @. M. Sergt. Jos. Stadick,
Sergt. Frank Matsch, Corp. Herm..
Adam, Corp. Albert Grams.
The first nine were disqualified and the
terms of enlistment of the other five
either had expired or would expire very
shortly.
