Five Miles From Bullets.

yiously, in the summer of 1886 in an
Indian campaign.
Five Miles From Bullets.
Major H. C. Benson, an officer of
the Fifth cavalry who served in the
southwestern Indian campaign in
question, with the same command to
which Wood was attached, and who
was in a position to learn all about
what Wood did or did not do on the
occasion which was made the basis
for the medal award, published, over
his signature in the Army and Navy
Journal of July 3, 1909, letter in
which he sad, according to the Con-
gressional Record OF June Is, 1912,
concerning Wood ana his conduct in
this campaign that "WOOD NEVER
SAW A HOSTILE INDIAN NOR
WAS WITHIN FIVE MILES OF A
HOSTILE BULLET"
AT the time of this exposure
General Wood was in a position to
cause the trial and punishment of
Major BENSON if the statement pub
lished by him had not been entire
ly accurate. He made no attempt
to do so.
Two other communications to the
Army ana Navy Register of May q
and June 3, 1916, threw light on the
distinguished service that Wood
was medaled for IL years after the
alleged incident occurred.
The War Department records show
the facts about the Geronimo cam
paign and Woods part in it. In
June and July, 1886, Captain H. w
Lawton, Fourth cavalry, was in com.
mand of a small force consisting OF
part of a detachment of infantry that
had been sent him without any Off
GERS. These men numbered less than
20. DR.. Leonard Wood, a civilian
physician employed under contract
was attached to Lawton's force and
infantry detachment from July 2, to
July 80, 1886-28 days.
There Was No Fight.
On July Ia, Lawton's Indian
scouts, far in advance of the rest OF
the command, Jumped" a hostile
camp, but the Indians, having discov.
cred the attacking party, had flee
without firing a shot.
According to Lawton's official re-
port, dated Sept. 8, 1886, Lawton
with the infantry detachment OF
which Dr. Wood was in charge did
not reach the hostile camp until some
time after the scouts had occupied
it. His report made at the time
shows clearly that there was no fight
ing at the hostile camp. Later on,
in an official communication, when
Lawton, in the interest of Wood, was
endeavoring to make as much as pos
Sible of this affair, stated positively
that 'the scouts fired upon the camp,
but no return fire was given"

ty follows novelty in the "Katzjam-
mer Kids" Virgil Bennett, who is
responsible for the staging of the
piece, has keyed the action of this
musical comedy up to the highest
pitch and as a result he has a show
that defies the speed limit when it
comes to singing, dancing and
comedy.
"Katzjammer Kids" is the joint
work of John P. Mulgrew who wrote
the book and lyrics, and Donald H.
Bestor, who wrote the music. The
piece is based on the famous comic
supplement characters and besides
the Katzjammer Kids, Hans and
Fritz, there are Ma Katzh mmer,
