BADGER TROOPS INVINCIBLE

How the Wisconsin guardsmen sue
cessfully "defended' the camp against
an Invading" army of Kansas and
Illinois militia is described by Sergt.
Stanley A. Jowasinski, First Wisconsin
Infantry, Second Medical Corps, in a
letter to friend here,
"The sham battle proved a big sue
cess" he writes "The artillery fired
the first shots and in a few minutes
they changed our positions. The in
fantry patrols assisted by the regular
cavalry did outpost duty. When the
wagon train neared our entrenched
body, the Wisconsin patrols leaped
from their defensive position and made
the entire train prisoners. That was
the first piece of their work in de-
Tending the city.
''The entire Illinois army has 10000
men. None of the troops passed the
Wisconsin line. In some instances
whole battalions were taken prisoners
by the tactful thanking of the Wiscon-
sin officers. About 6 p. m. news
reached headquarters saying that the
Wisconsin force was invincible."
