The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1941-05-08

Army life is seldom a bed OF
roses for the newly enlisted, but
w. L. Hazlett, of Atchison. Kansas,
had a surprise that would shock
even a more experienced campaign
er.
Out on maneuvers with a caval-
ry regiment, and encamped near
Grand River, Kansas, Private
Hazlett had attended to his horse
and was ready to turn in for the
night when he remembered that
his canteen had not been filled for
the next days journey. Pulling a
flashlight from his saddlebag. he
started for the nearby spring.
AS he picked his way among the
troopers lying on the ground un-
der their blankets, he was hailed
by one who was about to straigh-
ten out his bed and needed some
light. Hazlett obligingly turned
his flashlight on the blankets.
There, in the comfortable warm
tn, was coiled a full-grown copper
