But was soon found to be mistaken, about an hour after all had turned in, I suddenly heard someone yell. Who threw me outa bed?" Then another yelled Where is my blanket?" Still another yelled, Someone took my cover threw me outa bed. and scattered all of my things. Who did that7' I'm going to murder someonew yelled an- other. Then the whole camp was in confusion. After some time all was quiet again--but in little while Sam Houston began to beat on an old dish pan, waking up everyone Sam didn't seem bit sleepy and he want ed to raise Cain by keeping all the others awake. Pillows, tin cans and anything that the boys could get their hands on were soon headed for Sam B head About an hour later, quiet was restored, and soon everyone was asleep. About o'clock warrick Saunders woke up and found his quilt on Melvin Dean. Saunders woke Dean up and told him he was about to freeze to death. He asked Dean to go out with him and rebuild the fire.
