yards of the Carranza line.
Ordered Men to Leave Him
That night, the party of four started
afoot in an attempt to make their way
back to the expeditionary command.
However. Captain Morey had become
so weak from loss of blood that he
was unable to walk and believing he
was dying, he ordered his men to
leave him and save themselves.
This they did, but shortly the
wounded officer managed to rally
enough strength to crawl to the ranch
house of an American named McCabe,
living about nine miles from Carrizal.
Major Jenkins reported that he had
found Captain Morey hidden in Nc
Cabe's house and that his wounds

court RULING
BAN PUT ON SALES OF LIQUORS
TO INDIANS.

Sioux Falls, July 13.-AnOther de-
cision of national importance in all
states where there are Indian resi-
dents was announced here with the
receipt at the office Of United States
Attorney Stewart of copies OF a de
cision by the United States supreme
court in the case of the United States
VS. Fred Nice. resident of Tripp
county.
The decision is likely to become
more famous than any of its prede-
cessors in its direct application TO the
prohibition of the sale of liquor to
Indians, for which so many arrests
have been made in the northwest
during recent years.
The gist Of the decision Is that so
long as an Indian remains a ward of
the government the sale of liquor to
him is prohibited AS practically all
Indians are wards Of the United
States, il now will be unsafe for any
one TO attempt TO provide them with
liquor, as the federal authorities will
have to prosecute all such persons.

Considerably more than 100 vege-

cultivated by school children. Those
raising the best vegetables and flow

club. The inspection committee has
made the rounds of the gardens once.
There are to be two more inspections
before the contest closes, September
l. The next inspection will be made
at an early date, and the final judg

READY TO MOVE
SOUTH DAKOTA NATIONAL
GUARD PACKING FOR DUTY
ON BORDER.

Camp Hagman, Redfield, July IS.
Indications are increasing that the
end of this week will find every tent
in Camp Hagman struck and every
khaki clad soldier on his way toward
the south. There have been so many
rumors about camp relative to NOV
ing that very little credence is now
given by the boys TO seeming authen-
tic reports that are issued every day
from unknown sources.
But the last few days orders have
been issued in regard to striking and
packing tents, surplus kits have been
ordered packed, every post. pan and
box has been ordered stenciled and
the hospital corps has been working
early and late in its efforts 10 vac
cinate every man in the regiment
against typhoid and smallpox If
these things mean anything at all to
the men they mean that an early
move is being contemplated by the
officers in charge of the camp
There is no feverish anxiety on
the part of the enlisted men. They
have practically all settled down to
the philosophical attitude of the reg
ular soldier, who has let others do
most of his thinking for him for so
long that he has learned not TO live
too much in the future. The posi-
blity of a long and monotonous so
journ in some concentration camp on
the border would tend to make most
of the boys wish themselves home
again were it not for the probability
that once the troops are on the bor-
der they will not be withdrawn until
they have accomplished Americas s
task in Mexico.
Less Drilling Now.
Comparatively little drilling has
been done the past few days and il is
not probable that much more drilling
will be done in Camp Hagman. One
reason for this inactivity is the fact
that practically all of the men are
suffering the inconvenience of recent
vaccination. Monday night all Com
pany f men were given their second
inoculation of typhoid prophylaxis,
with the result that most Of them
have very sore left shoulders The
vaccination dtnO " dS dbiiiiI~
istered to them.
Cold Weather Clothes.
Yesterday the eighteen tons of new
army goods arrived on the grounds
and the post quartermaster has been
busy with his force Of assistants in
getting ii checked up and ready for
issue today and tomorrow. The regi-
ment when it leaves is obviously go
ing TO a warmer climate than South
Dakota's. but no one would ever sus-
pect il from the kind of equipment
which the government has sent.
Heavy wooden cavalry breeches
and coats hardly seem fitting gar
ments for soldiers to wear in sec
tion of the country where the sun is
beating down and scorching the
earth, but Uncle Sam evidently was
not as prepared for war as some of
his friends have imagined, so he had
to send what he had. Shoes that are
better fitted for mining and lumber
camps than for marching troopers
and shoddy blankets that resemble
third class horse blankets more than
they do bedding for Americas sol
diers are also part of this new issue.
