last night on the military road leading
from the Long Bridge to Camp Ordway
when an automobile operated by a man
who gave his name as John " Iawler

rection had bull lights" which blinded
him.

were on the road until he heard Heller
shout. Both Mr.. Lawler and Heller said
that the latter was on the right side of
the road and just as far over as he
could get.
Following the accident Mr.. Lawler
took Heller in his machine and brought
him to the ,regimental infirmary at the
camp. where he was treated by Capt.
Bryson- Then Maj. Coope, adjutant
general; Capt. Brysop, Capt TAFT, off,
Ger of the day; Capt Washburn of the

Will Seek Recruits.

After the tents of the Sd Infantry are
polled Saturday morning, and the
regular inspection is held, all Of the
officers and men, with the exception of
the guard, will be allowed to leave
camp. They will receive no special in
structions, but every man is expected
to talk recruiting the whole time he is
in the city. and until he returns to
camp at taps" 1t will be the biggest
leave" day of the camp, for not since
the troops took the field have so many
troops been let out at one time.
The officers are determined that the
regiment reach its minimum strngth
in order that it may be on it's way to
the border by August 20. They believe
that the men will enlist as soon as the
young men in the city realize that the
regiment will go.
Musicians, horsemen and teamsters
are particularly wanted, and the men
are expected to bring in only such men
as they think will make good soldiers.
The officers have little doubt but that
the men will be successful in getting
enough to put the regiment well above
minimum strength.

extended order and bayonet exercises.

Capt. c. J. Ferris, L. s. A, inspector-in-
structor, assigned to the District field
artillery, was put through a stiff
mounted drill. The remainder of the
