men in the Texas guard hospital at
Maria with bullet wounds in their
right legs, feet and hands, as a re-
suit of their trying to get their re-
lease from border duty" said Garb-
rell. Since have been down there,
large number Of men have been
sent to the hospital who shot finger
or toe on, but none Of them has been
released. The officers decided that
the shooting was not accidental. We
have large number of desertions
lately. know Of one man having
deserted four times.
'The idleness and sameness Of
everything is deadly. I am ready to
come back myself"
