FROM A SOLDIER BOY
ON THE BORDER

Mrs. S. R. Mosier, of this city,
is in receipt of the following let
from her son, Austin Mosier,
who is on the border. He is a
member of Co. A, 1st Tenn. Inf,
stationed at Eagle Pass, Texas.
81 have just finished Thanks
giving dinner and was sure sur
priced at the good things Uncle
Sam gives his boys
"Our company, which consist
of about eighty enlisted men and
officers, had ten turkeys with all
the side lines, and two kegs OF
San Antonio beer that was fur
nished by the officer of this Co.
81 sure enjoyed my dinner but
missed the pumpkin pies and
cakes that only mother can make.
Don't tell the boys about this
beer proposition for they might
enlist, thinking all days were like
Thanksgiving.
We've been on the rifle range
for the last five days, and the
Tennessee boys have it on the
rest when it comes to shooting.
I qualified for sharpshooter in
the practice course, making 2O5
out of a possible $50 points. We
are now shooting for record
which will bes.sent to Washington,
and those that qualify will be
given medals and extra pay ac-
cordinging to their rank.
A sharpshooter is entitled to
$500 per month extra pay, and
expert rifleman SIS. 90 per month.
On the first ten shots for record
I made 46 out of a possible SO. If
| keep this up | will be expert
rifeman, something for a soldier
to be proud Of.
Everything is quiet down here
and most of the men still think
we will be home in time for X
mas, but | think it will be a coup
lie of months before we leave.
hope we either leave or cross the
Rio Grande before long, for
sure would like to be in Tennes'
see where there is something be-
sides Mexicans and jackrabbits.
1--WE have to guard the Interna'
tional Bridge besides outpost du'
ties, such as the warehouses anc
the water works. Sometimes we
see a Carranza soldier patrolline
the river dressed in anything
from overalls up to white uni
forms.
"Will close for this time hopins
to be with you by Xmas.

Found Petrified Snake.

Claud Warren, while working
in the mine at Tip Top, saw some
thing on one of the shelves of
rock in the mine that he thought
was live snake, but on striking
it with stick and it not moving,
he went and picked it up and
found it was petrified. The
snake was about three feet long
and it must have been rattler
for it had small ridges on its tail
that looked like rattles. 1t was

HOME FROM THE BORDER.
Private Carl Andersen Concludes Four
 Months Service at NogaIes.

Private Carl Anderson, Company K, First Connecticut infantry, Hartford is home again after four months of service at Nogales, Ariz Private An derson is glad to be back in little old Connecticut and of the opportunity to mingle with it's people. He is enthu- SiaStic over his experiences on the border as far as army life is concern ed, but he has developed no exceeding love for the type of Mexicans that it was his privilege to see and deal with while he was on the northern edge of Sonora. His opinion is that troops must be kept on patrol duty for a long time and that the Mexican question is far from settled.
 Private Anderson. who has been top sergeant in the local military com mand and who is a Spanish war vet eran, went out With the First Con necticut because the coast artillery corps didn't get & chance to go to the front. In other words. he went be- cause he likes the game and doesn't hcsitate to take the chances that go with 1t. He is a born soldier and has a record of being one of the most ef- hclent non- n-commissioned officers in the state. However, he went to the border as private. not letting any question of rank hold him Up.
 lie Is home in splendid physical condition. The months On the border were not in the nature of a holiday Hard work, and lots of it. long and wearisome marches, were the lot of the command to which he was at tached. They were put through a course of training that hardened them into fit troops, and every man seems to be the better for it, MT Anderson saws
 Experiences after getting down to work on the border were no more than routine. he says. but he enjoyed his stay and comes back with a lot of renembrances that will always give him pleasure

DIES AT 1o1.
Mrs. Johanna O'5rien Does Not Lonq
 Survive Only Son.

Mrs. Johanna O'Brien died just be- fore o'clock Thursday morning at her home near the Allen Hill section of the town of Brooklyn. Mrs. O.Brien is said to have been 101 years of age, but no definite information on this point is obtainable. She was a native of Ireland, but had been a resident of this section for about 70 years.
 On Saturday of last week her only son, James. died at their home, where they had lived for so long. Mrs O'Brien was dangerously i'll at the time and it is believed that the shock of his death hastened her own.
