Camp FunStoD DuinsS
Dear friends and readers of
the Herald
AS my other letter skipped
the waste basket, will try now
and tell some happenings around
camp.
This is the first day of the
new year and Christmas gone.
but 1 will tell you Of some things
that we're going on Christmas
day. About 8 .. m. most every.
one lined up and marched 10 the
north parade ground, where we
saw one OF the srgest crowds I
ever saw on sucha Q small space
of ground.
There is a bill just above the
parade ground and it was 80
thick with soldiers one could not
see the ground. Our band, the
34ist and seven others were on
the job. Some Of them played
the most Of the time.
The first thing on the program
was a centipede race-eight men
astride a pole. They had TO run
fifty yards and back. There
were ten different regiments run.
ming at the same time. Our 1eg-
iment won it.
Next a crao race-a COW pen
full of soldiers on their hands
and feetrunning backwards.
Next q roostsr 6ght-about fif.
teen large men, each with q
small man astride his neck, with
a small pnle i've or six feet long
wrapped at one end with rags.
Each rider tried to push the 9th
er of. They Ill fell but me, and
one of them gave mp. SO our
regiment won Q 1-.--''''.1 :, <
Next a game callsd push ball"

but very light. They would get
it over their heads aud push it,
keeping it in the air. There
we're about thirty men in this
game. Our regiment won this
game also, putting it over the
goal twice.
Next vas a small ball shot
about 200 feet high that exploded
a small balloon, with Old Glory
unfolded hanging underit.
Next the British, American.
and French flags all flying in the
air at the same time.
Next old Santa went flying
through the air.
Next the Statue of Liberty.
All of these were in the air at
the same time. They flew mora
than a mile before they fell.
They we're sure pretty. Next
was the wild west stunts by boys
from Colorado. Arizona and New
Mexico. They rode bad horses
and roped long horned steers
and bull.doRged steers. I never
saw such stunts in my life.
The movies got US all. You
might see US on the screen some
time. At 1890 we started home,
Each soldier got a small box of
sweets which the Red Cross sent
US.
We'll. our quarantine is off
now, but not for the mumps.
w. D, is in the hospital with
them, and I think l will follow
tomorrow.
We all watched the old year
out and the new year in. Last
night the fire whistle blew and
the bugle sounded the fire call
with part of the reveiIle call. I
can't get them up at II. so p. m.
At 1890 a. n. we we're sere-
naded by the 342nd band and
500 soldiers. Then our band the
34lst came out. Some of US
boys dressed and went out to
juin them; but some of us failed
to yet out to where they were.
Our captain was the order of the
day. He stopped them and sent
the battery F boys to bed. He

As quick as they could get
there the Richfielders ran out in
to the street and turned loose
their repeating Winchesters.
Probably altogether $50 or 200
shots were fired. but providen-
TALLY for the parties concerned
there was no one brought down,
and coz sequently no funerals re-

Ii, "No-Man's Land.
Practically every county in
western Kansas had it's county
seat fight and tragedies. in many
cases rivallng the free-soil trag-

fight was over the bleeding"
Was actually car ried on to the
west part of the state through
fights betv zen tie towns Of most
of the counties in their rivalries
in landing the couuty-seat plum.
We shall here relate one of
those bloody tragedies.
Woodsdale and Hugoton in
Stevens county we're two such
towns. Sam Woods was the
droll wit and the genius of south
western Kansas, q lawyer by
profession, and q general all
round promoter of Sam Woods
enterprises.
Woodsdale was one of those
enterprises. started q few miles
north of Huxoton, the challenge
thus being for . fight to the fin-
fsh and the devil take the hind
most.
The climax to the situation
came down in what was then
known % the neutral strip. or
No Mans Land, which included
what are now Beaver. Texas and
Cimarron counties. The strip
was afterwards attached to Ok
lahoma, cannibalisu ceased, the
|powwows and Sun Dances were
left off, and No Mans Lani took
its place among the civilized ma
tions Of the earth. and has be-
come prosperous and happy.
But the story. We believe the
trouble started on election day.
and probably q kidnapped ballot
box figured in the program. A
warrant was sworn out for one
of the Woodsdale outfit, q Hugo
deputy marshall or sheriff en-.
deavoring t. serve the warrant.
The party wanted thought the
climate would be more congenial
down in No Mans Land. and so
hiked it thence, with the deputy
and a posse of Hugo avengers
bot on his trail.
Then Woodsdale organized a
counter posse and started out for
the scalps of the Hugo parties.
also ambulating 70 the sunny land
of the neutral strip, where law
knew no court and order knew
no law.
All day, and may be all of an-
other day. the Woodsdale posse
hunted for the Hugo party
probably hot on their trail. when,
late at night, they lay down by
the side Of q hay stack to await
the morning.
It was about sun up in the
morning when they were awak-
ened from their peaceful slum-
ters-by the Hugo posse.
The first thing was to disarm
them-even down to their pocket
knives. Then they were stood
up in . aline-seven poor, defense.
less, hapless Woodsdale boys,
starding in q line, with their
hends tied back of them - under
the shadow of an endless night.
By lot one of the Hugo parties
was designated to put out the
light Of each one of those seven
boys.
Ready, take aim, fire." and

Ec;EaspThlA' JOCK"
 BLOSSOMS FORTH AS SONG COMPOSER
Last Time Showing

The many sourdough friends and ae- quaintances of Captain John Living stone or Jock" as he is better known were given quite a shock to discover that the amiable Captain was a mu- stefan as well as an able navigator
 Recently in Seattle Captain Jock published new song. for which he wrote both the words and music, and which Mir. Wallace, organist at the Liberty Theatre introduced there very recently. The song is dedicated to the Men of the Merchant Marine of the United States and is called "The Men of the Merchant Marine" It was also sung very successfully by Joe Bonner and altho hundreds of copies were printed, the first edition was sold out in no time Captain Livingstone was master of the Dolphin for nubmer of years, acting as pilot for Captain Nord on the Jefferson, also, and is now commanding the freighter Santa Ana. He is one of the most popular navi- gators on the southeastern Alaska run, and his many friends will re- joice in his initial musical success.
