FORMER PIPEsToNE BOY, NOW
At THE BORDER, WRITES LET.
TER TO THos. HAGPlN
San Benito, Texas.

San Benito, Texas.
Dear Tom:
This is great life. We just came
in off twelve days maneuvers. Have
nothing to complain about, but am,
rather tired just now after our tramp.
We covered about one hundred and
fifty miles in the twelve days. Some
days we made only ten miles, while
others as high as twenty-four.
We sure had ideal weather on the
hike, no storms, wind or rain. AS far
as that goes we always have ideal
weather. There have been only a
few days of bad weather since we
came down here. It's just warm
enough to be comfortable through the
day and cool enough at night to sleep
fine, and feel like doing days work,
and l vouch that we do the days
work.
One of the things that interested
me great deal on this hike was the
fine crops. We sure saw some fine
fields of sugar cane. was surprised
at the size of some Of them, as didn't
think one man had so much land
cleared and in use. The cane stood
about seven feet high. These cane
fields interested me considerably, and
l know so little about them, that I
asked a man working in the field
across the road, if it was considered
good crop, and he said, Eyes, I'd like
to have the profit" Enough said, I'd
like to have it myself.
They are picking beans here and
the crop is a hummer. saw fields of
beans that put our northern fields to
shame.
Gardening seems to be the main
thing on the small farms. All the
vegetables look fine. Just think we
are having ripe tomatoes and not long
before they'll be selling cabbage by
the ton.
I tell you, I'd like to have forty or
eighty acres of land around here, as I
believe there is fortune in truck
farming.
also saw quite little fruit, main
ly peaches and bananas. The peach
es are ripe now and are on the mar
ket.
They raise so many things on the
soil here that a person has his choice
of raising nearly anything he wishes.
I must close as we're to have drill
shortly. Give my regards to all the
boys. Your friend,
SERGEANT J. c. HOBBS.

ACCIDENTAL SHOT KILLED HIM

Devils Lake, Dec. 22-Olaf Kempton.
lately from Norway, and working near
Michigan City as farm hand, died to-
day from injuries sustained when he
accidentally shot himself while work
ing on a load of hay.
Olaf Kampen was employed on the
farm of his brother, Ole Kampen. The
two brothers were going out for a
load of hay. Ole was driving and Olaf
stood in the back of the rack with a
shot gun. Just what caused the gun
to discharge will never be known, but
Ole heard the report and turned to
see his brother fall. He lived half an
hour, but never regained conscious.
ness. The gun had evidently been
pointing upward and the discharge en-
tered the face near the nose, scatter
ing through the head.
The Kampens are recently from Nor.
way. Besides these two brothers, there
is a sister, Mrs. Ole Halvorson, and
another brother, who lived near Michi-
gan.

Boys Rejoice Over
Orders for Return

Mercedes, Texas, Dec. 21.-Wild
demonstrations of joy marked the re.
ceipt of the news in the camps of the
First North Dakota infantry here and
the Second Minnesota and the Fourth
Nebraska at Llano Grande, that 10000
more troops of the national guard had
been ordered home.
In less fortunate camps great disap-
pointment prevailed and there were
some tumultuous scenes.
When it became known that they
were not among the lucky ones the
First Indiana and the First Minnesota
troops, who at first thought that they
would be among those to go, started
demonstrations.
The band of the First Minnesota re-
fused to play at retreat and the disap-
pointed militiamen rallied at the call
of the bugle. They surrounded Col.
Luce and fired question after question
at him, demanding why they were not
being sent home before the Second
Minnesota and other regiments.
The question was asked of Col. Luce
II he had not given an interview to a
Minneapolis paper stating that 90 per
cent of the boys with the First Mime.
sofa did not want to go home and
were anxious to stay on the border.
The colonel admitted that he did
give such an interview, but stated that
at the time he believed that that was
the way the boys felt.
1t is feared that if the men are held
in service much longer on the border
there will be serious disturbances in
the national guard camps.
The First North Dakota regiment ex.
poets to leave for the north between
the first and seventh of January. Ac-
cording to General Funston, all of the
national guard regiments affected by
the latest order will be on their way
nome not later than Jan. 7.
The news of the order came at night
and many of the boys with the First
North Dakota were downtown, some
at the movies and some in the shops.
The news spread like wildfre and soon
the town was ringing with cheers.
Pandemonium reigned in camp for a
while and the guard was. called out to
the quiet the happy militiamen.
Preparations for the homeward trip
are now we'll under way. Equipment
is being checked up and property pre-
pared for the long journey north. The
North Dakota regiment will be mus
tered out at Fort Smelling, Mimi,
where it will probably be held a couple
of weeks.
The North Dakotans will probably
be sent home before the Second Min
resota, as several companies of the
latter organization are at present on
outpost duty along the Rio Grande.
Many men will receive their dis
charge on the border, for they do not
wish to face the rigors of a winter up
north, but the majority of the militia
men with the First North Dakota will
return in body to their home state
