GOOD SHOTS in
KENOSHA TROOP
Officers and Members of
Troop E Qualify as
MarkSmen.
OFFICERS RANK HIGH

according to the reports received this
morning from Capt. John d. Alexander,
commanding the outfit. Troop E has
the distinction of being the first troop
in the 105th Cavalry to have all its
officers qualify for decorations for pis-
toll firing on mounted course. 1t. Hall
led with a score of 81 hits out of 80,
which is high score for the regiment;
Capt Alexander was next with a score
of 25 hits out of 80, with both of these
officers qualifying as pistol experts.
1t. Flad made 20 hits out Of 30, quail
flying as a sharpshooter. 1t is also
expected that at least ten of the en-
listed personnel of the troop will quail
fly on this course.
Several of the enlisted men are ready
at the present time to qualify on the
mounted saber course and will likely
do so before the end of the week, quail
flying as expert swordsmen or swords
men first class. Among these are Sgt.
/ Rabedeau, Sgt Axtell Sgt. Majdech
and Corp. Jimmie Johnson.
Four men of Troop E have been Sc
'lected out of the 100 best shots in camp
with over 5000 men in camp to pick
from and will attempt to qualify for
rife decorations during the week.
These men are Sgt Rabedeau, Sgt.
Rohde, Pvt. Reuter- and Pvt Persons.
Almost Win High Honor.
In the review held Saturday after
noon it had been decided to select the
troop in the regiment that in the flu
ture would be classed as the color troop
of the regiment and the decision of
the judges was that Troop A of Mil
waukee and Troop E of Kenosha were
both rated as excellent" in appearance
and formation, but owing to one very
slight error on the part of Troop E,
Troop A was awarded this honor. How
ever, one troop cannot have all the
'honors and Troop E is willing to share
some of them with its worthy COM
petitors.
Several of the men wandered into the
bills Yesterday afternoon, scaling the
peaks which are all around the camp,
and bringing back quite a few snap
, shots, which have yet to be developed
before it is known how good they are.
Eddie Reuter- tried to show the rest Of
them how the Swiss mountaineers did
it, using a lariat in the demonstration.
10 DlHe WIN NUNGANOAs
Thursday of this week the entire
camp will pass in review before the
governor. The governor has also de-
cided to dine with two or three of the
troops in camp, among them being
Troop E. The captain has issued an
order for several jars of "Stacomb" for
the use Of the troopers, to keep their
rnruly hair down on that occasion and
has also ordered all hands to scrub
their necks and clean their ears. 1t is
rather hard to keep or even to be oc-
casionally clean here, as it has not
rained here for a long time and any
movement at all raises a cloud of dust
Quite a few members Of Troop e
went to church services Sunday morn
ing, conducted by our old friend Chap
lain Myron G. Argus. There were also
quite number who attended the serv-
ices held for those of Catholic faith.
Sunday dinner Of Troop E was a big
success. Cooks were obliged to ask for
volunteers to help prepare the fifty
spring chickens which were fried to
reflection and thoroughly enjoyed by
all. The dinner all through was as
good as a regular Christmas dinner
usual on such occasion.
Visit Camp Dentist.
Looks as though the troop will be
short several teeth when it comes back.
Two men have already been to the
camp dentist and had teeth pulled.
In Saturdays review Capt, Alexander
was in command of the second squad
ron, in the absence of Major Hanley,
who left for a short business trip.
One big worry has been taken off
Corp. Modder's mind. The camp pay
roll is finished and signed and there
is nothing more to it but being paid
off next Friday night.
Bishop Of Utah" Randall has been
confined to quarters on account Of
sore back and is getting some good
practice at "gold- bricking,Y He is also
getting some much-needed sleep.
In spite of the fact that he used
Randall's pneumatic pillow on the road
ride the other day, Sgt. Crandall is
also confined to quarters today.
1t Hall was too anxious to run his
saber through the dummy and hit the
post on which the dummy was placed,
skinning his hand quite a little.
Boxing Practice Too.
Billy" Heating is getbing5in some
good boxing practice. He was the main
drawing card the other night at the
''Y" when he boxed Eddie Cooney from
Company I, 127th Infantry, which end
ed in a draw. He expects to have an
other bout this week, opponent not yet
known.
As far as is known now, the troop
will entrain for home early Saturday
morning, arriving in Kenosha sometime
IN the afternoon. tT -Is9 slseaa
There were two fire alarms the other
night. The frs was a little brush fire,
which was put out by a few men in a
truck. Corp. Gottlieb distinguished
himself in the second one, putting it
out almost single-handed, after spread
ing the alarm and getting several
troops to assemble. This was Major
Hanley's tent, which caught fire for
some unknown reason.
As this is being written, we are hav-
ing a few small showersg which are
hein;ng to dampen and cool things off
a bit, settling some Of the dust which
has been getting into everything.
