Inc cnecK was turned INTO tne reBl-
mental fund and for this token. COM
ing from the beautiful plains OF South
Dakota, the boys of the Second Idaho
are grateful.
There Is absolutely no question In
my mind but someone scattered around
somewhere in Idaho read my letter tell
ing about the victory of the Second
Idaho, as the defending army over
the First Connecticut as the invading
army the other day and said, or
thought, which is as bad:
ooh piffle! Bowman makes me
tired-bragging Dragging. Dragging all
the time about the Second Idaho. I'll
bet they never licked the Connecticut
regiment at ALL I'll just betcha he
framed that all upi Why, the other
day as an invading army when they
were coming back from Fort Hucachua
he had them win dazzling. red white
and-blue victory over the Californians
who were the defenders and now he

do to the Idahoans! He is a pretty

Saturday morning the First Con-
necticut regiment tried to capture No
gales in a strategical war game. The
town was defended Wy the Idaho boys
and well. The Second Idaho infantry
were sent out Friday night as far as
the Santa Cruz river. Saturday morn
ing they were up bright and early
(rather-3:30 B)-sending out their
outpost scouts. The scouts on both
sides came in contact about o'clock,
but the actual encounter of the two
forces did not take place until about
s:45 or o'clock
"One company OF the Idaho regiment
commanded by Captain Shaw. was said
to have drawn three of the Connecti-
cut companies into pocket and de-
stroyed all OF them. This turned the
tide of battle in favor of the defend
ers who seemed to have been on points
! 1t was good war game and well
played.

necticut regiment was Colonel Good

Colonel Edleblute. Both men showed

Yes, the Second Idaho will make good
anywhere you put tat play war or at
the real, horrible, devilish thing.
