Incidents of Life
At Dolores, Texas

The following, from a letter to Ad-
jutant General Presson from Capt.
Roy L. Marston Of Co. E, (Skowhe-
gam I'd Maine Infantry. will be of In
terest, telling as it does Of the life at
the present station Of the boys at Per-
ron's Ranch, at Dolores, Texas. The
letter was written some little time
ago. but just received by Gen. Presson.
having been delayed somewhere en-
route. 1t says:
My Dear General:
am in command of a detached post
here at Perrons Range about 40 miles
up the river from regimental head
quarters at Laredo. ! have E Com
pany and a detachment of cavalry and
Of signal corps with wireless sta
ton. 1t is just the sort of job that
wanted. The last bandit raid was
made through this ranch and there
are mounted out posts in plain view of
our camp. There is a veritable nest
of bandits and smugglers all around
us. Just now they are chiefly engaged
in smuggling ammunition across the
river and running cattle across to this
side We hold up every team that
passes W Hldhe suic l'ol ioAc nav
any contraband.
Last night we traced up a signal
station on this side sending messages
across and about midnight a mounted
messenger passed one of our out posts
about a mile from camp and refused
to halt. The sentry fired five shots
at him but it was so dark that he
couldn't get decent bead. This
morning at daybreak my mounted
orderlies picked up the trail and fol-
lowed it five miles only to lose it in
the river bottom. He did some tall
riding | can tell you. He rode within
one fourth mile Of camp and the mad
riding awoke half the camp. There
was great excitement, but no disorder
and had there been fifty instead of one
trooper they'd have found a mighty
warm reception from our boys.
l suppose YOU people at home think
that we are all pla acidly training and
drilling on parade grounds with dress
parades and inspections and formal
guard mount. My outfit required 81
men and two sergeants for guard duty.
which means that men are on guard
every other night and that we have
only 35 men for drill in the morning
The regulars attached to my command
complain that l am working them
harder than they ever worked in reg
ular outfit.
Blanchard has the swell camp at
Santa Rosa about six miles from La
redo, with bath rooms for all the off,
GERS, etc. but l wouldn't swap my
job with him, because we have some
chance of getting excitement and are
really and truly in active service.
One of my men has just brought in
a good sized deer, which will be some
good eating tomorrow. l bought %
goats this noon and yesterday pigs so
we are not bothered with an incinera-
tor We have 20 hens and COW COM
ing tomorrow. 1 reckon We'll have
some little ranch if cur luck continues.

Today's Play

The company will present at the
matinee and evening performances to-
day Eugene Brieux's great sociological
drama, Damaged Goods" This play
has created more discussion since its
first production in America, at the
Fulton Theatre, New York, than any
other drama Of modern times. The
play is based on ignorance and blind
ness with which men and women Of
today assume the most sacred obli-
cations of parenthood. The central
character in the play is a young man
unfit to marry and who is so advised
Of the fact by his physician, but who
because his word is given and be-
cause he fears to violate the Gus
TOM Of engagement, marries an inno-
IS months after the first act, and the
young married couple are buoyantly
happy in their home and jubilant over
the birth Of a daughter. The sins of
the father have been visited upon the
child and all the happiness becomes as
the ashes Of Dead Sea apples upon the
lips Of father and mother. The third
act concerns the efforts Of the father
Of the young wife and the family ply
sician to construct a new life for the
young people on the crumbled foun-
dations Of the old. This play. the same
as the others, will have a complete
scenic production.

The Public Utilities Commission Thurs
day rendered a decision in the matter of
the accident on the premises of the Maine

Station August 16 last. resulting in the
death of George Coffin, aged years. Of
Lincoln, who was run over by extra
freight No. $40. Maine Central. at los P.
NJ. August Is, 1916. at the Lincoln Sta
tion and instantly killed.
LAS the train came into the station
some Of the crew saw two boys at play
on the platform. The agent said that
three boys had been about the station.
It is suggested that the Coffin boy may
have been one Of them and that he
climbed upon the forward end Of the ca
boose after the train stopped and was
thrown off by the shock Of coupling the
two sections. falling down where the
cars next ahead of the caboose were
backed over him. This, while merely con-
lecture appears to be consistent with the
known facts, and is the only explanation
indicated by them.
I'VE do not find any evidence OF blame
on the part Of the Maine Central Rail-
road Company, or of its employees"
