Theodore Davis Boal's i haven't { he han Two Interesting Letters from the Fron Troop L Quarantined for Measles. Two Cases in Camp, but | Neither Serious. Six Promotions in the Troop. i How the Soldiers Pass the Time and | Other Interesting Facts. | { i i ! be , 5 . By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, July 23. | | . Sunday again, and incidentally anoth- | er letter, although doings are not as nu- i merous as they were during the early part of our expedition; still, enough has transpired to make a little reading for an anxious audience at home. : Starting last Monday we finally got down to business, and we are now fol- lowing a regular prescribed schedule of drill which takes almost all of the fore part of the day; the remainders being divided between the dodging of the sand swirls and in admiringa wonderful mi- rage, which Capt. Curtin kindly pointed out while at rest during a drill period, and which appears about ten o’clock each morning and lasts a few hours. x Of course most of the boys, I mean men (they all have a pretty good growth on their upper lip now, even though we are required to shave twice a week) spend the time until retreat in the even- ing either dozing off into a snooze or else playing casino or poker for matches (we gotten any pay as yet,) while the ' more elect choose either five hundred or bridge-whist. : It happened during the night of Mon- | day while the writer had charge of a re- lief detailed for guard duty, that the ar- my Chaplain had occasion to cross the guard line in the vicinity of a rookie, and upon being challenged remarked that he was the army Chaplain. Here are the words of the Rookie sentinel: “Advance Charlie Chaplin and be recognized.” Of course this is a great secret, so please don’t advertise it. Tuesday, by the way, was the big day here, the important feature being the signing of the pay roll, but we are still waiting for the pay. However, on the strength of that our mess sergeant, W. C. From, was detailed by the Troop to go to El Paso and purchase a stock of merchandise for a troop canteen. Busi- ness flourished beyond all expectations with J. P. Storch in charge as salesman. Everything went along lovely until the regimental headquarters noticed our cash register,—well, the truth is they simply got sore because we had such a wonderful trade that day, and they had Col. Wood force us into the hands of a i receiver, and now the headquarters in-’ | tend starting one of their own. They “have consoled us with the announce- : ment that we will receive one-thirteenth of the profits. Some consolation! | On the same evening that the pay roll , appeared most of the Troop were specta- ' tors at a real fist fight pulled off by two members of Troop H, of Pittsburgh. The : contestants had a grudge ‘against each | other and, notwithstanding the fact that the weight of one was only 117 pounds, i compared with 168 of the other, the little fellow won the decision, which was ap- proved by all with one acclaim. It sure was some battle-~six rounds, regular ! referee and time keeper, with the usual | coterie of trainers and seconds. It was mounted machine gun troop has not yet | well worth the price of admission, which been sworn into the U. S. service. An | was quite noticeable owing to the lack officer was to have performed that duty “wn Monday but failed to do so and on Tuesday evening Capt. Boal went to Washington to see what could be done toward facilitating matters. Up to yes- terday afternoon all that could be learn- ed from a number of troopers visiting Bellefonte was that they expected to be sworn in today. ——About noontime Saturday A. G- Morris Jr., drove his truck down to the Sunnyside plant of the American Lime and Stone company to get some crushed limestone. He drove in under the shoot, with his truck standing on the railroad track and had just commenced to load when he heard a noise and looking around saw a draft of three cars loaded with limestone bearing down upon him. The cars were so close that he had to jump to save his life and the truck was completely demolished, the biggest part of it left being the top. ——The “Bermuda High” is being given credit for the unusually hot and torrid weather we have endured the past | two weeks, but even such an inexplica- ble thing as that cannot interfere with the splendid programs of motion pictures at the Scenic week in and week out. And while the atmosphere is stifling out of doors the Scenic is kept fairly comfortable by that big suction fan. And now that the Chautauqua is a thing " of the past this well known place of amusement should become more popu- lar than evar. Try it once. ——The State-Centre Electric compa- ny completed the installation of the bou- levard lights on north Allegheny street from Howard to Linn, and west on Linn to Rhoads’ corner on Monday and the light was turned on for the first time on Monday evening. Of course they are not the brilliant or powerful lights used throughout the business section of the town, but they are strong enough to light up those residential streets in a sat- isfactory manner, even though the light is partly obscured by the foliage on the lower branches of the intervening shade trees : "of it. Really, 1 hate to do it, but news is news and I am sorry to state that at last it has got us. Yes, we are quarantined. The measles broke out upon private N. A. Miller, of Pine Grove Mills, on Thurs- day and after all due precautions had been taken by fumigating and the de- struction of his personal equipment, the malady again appeared on Saturday on private John M. Shank, of Howard. These two men were taken to the field hospital for proper treatment and we were ordered under strict quarantine. This means no more leaves from the troop street under any conditions, so I suppose we will be hugging our cots now for a period of about three weeks. But as it is the orders of the medicos, it sure- ly must be for the best. ‘ 1 guess that is all for this time, with ' the exception that Earl Baird received a letter last week and answered it imme- diately. Yesterday he discoverod that instead of enclosing in the envelope the letter he had written he returned the one he had received. He is now trying to square himself by saying he was sure he mailed the proper one, but we have the evidence. . With best wishes for all, here’s to the folks and friends at home. P. S.—Sergeant Saxion has just in- formed your correspondent that he was mistaken in the party who got the extra change at the station at Colebrook, and we will gladly publish his statement. THE. “WATCHMAN APPRECIATED IN CAMP. The WATCHMAN is in receipt of the. following letter from Capt. H. L. Curtin, of Troop L, which confirms every report about the health and good condition of the men there. The day the WaTcH- MAN arrives in camp is a “red-letter” day for the soldiers. Captain Curtin’s letter follows: Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, July 25. Mr: P. G. Meek, Bellefonte, Pa. “Dear Sir.—I wish to thank ‘you most [Continued on page 4, Col. 5.] # The next case on the docket for this | McGrew,” by Corwin, as well as “The By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, July 29. ‘Eighteen days in Texas and already established as a governing body, with a county court house and a sheriff, is the enviable record reached by our Troop. Being'in quarantine, and as army life in its natural state is quite un- eventful, we were forced by circum- stances to meet the occasion with something that would diversify the monotony while being penned up. Having gotten permission. of our offi- cers to try all charges = brought against any member of our Troop, we, by means of nominations and finally an election, have succeeded in putting before our people a court that is with- out a par in any regiment. Hon. J. Homer Decker took first honors and was elected by a handsome majority for president judge, while private (now sergeant) Arthur Deer- ing appeared on the ticket for dis- trict attorney, with no opposition, therefore being .elected by acclama- tion, while ‘James, .alias “Jimmy?” Davis ran away ahead of his party for prothonotary. Next in order came the selection of jury commissioners and after a hard battle, when the din died down and the smoke had cleared away, we picked out of the debris the persons of L. T. Gummo, Sergt. Har- 1y Schreffler and Jefferson Tierney as the lucky place holders. : Of course we have a sheriff, but it isn’t our fault. Top sergeant Sax- ion said he was it, and that settled the matter. It don’t pay to argue with any one who has more say than you have, it is liable to cost you a five spot. : The first case on record happened to be the Troop Adjt., Corp. Emenhiz- er vs. his brother-in-law, Herbert S. Miller, the charge being neglect of du- ty, by appearing two minutes late at “revelry.” Remember, good people, “revelry” is 5.15 in the morning, and most of you are no doubt still in the ether world, but after an eloquent de- fense in Mr. Miller’s behalf by coun- sellor Leslie Gordon, and a most elo- quent plea by our district attorney Miller was found guilty. : ‘When asked how long he knew the defendant Corp. Emenhizer answered ever since he married his sister. Mil- ler was then sentenced by Judge Decker to come in last for his “eats” for the next six days, and figuring on the appetite of the gentleman, it sure is punishment enough. week is that of the Commonwealth of Troop L va. John G. Sanford, for ! maintaining a nuisance by having in in his possession a said Belle—one dog. This case will be reported next week, providing the dog don’t die be- fore. Last Sunday we were all given our last innoculation, and it sure was some shot, but like the previous two, the damage soon wore off and we are ourselves once again. Paul Stover, while lying on his cot dreaming of happy home and supper with his young wife at their own ta- ble, was rudely awakened by “Reddy” Rhoads, our second cook, with the words, “Get up, the war isn’t over vet.” Lucky for “Red” Stover had his shoes on, or we would now have a rep- resentative in the hospital. Monday was the big day here. We were paid for the time from mobiliza- -Tuesday, for the funeral of his aunt, ‘Eliza Miller. t] NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Miss Pearl MacLeod has returned from Liverpool, Pa., where she spent her vacation. —James Pierpont Esq., of Philadelphia, was an over Sunday guest of Dr. Joseph Brock- erhoff. —Isaac Miller Jr., came from Philadelphia, Miss —Mrs. John M.

Among his recitations “Ginger Din,” by Kipling; “The Cremation of Sam | McGee” and “The Shooting of Dan! Highwayman” by Alfred Noyes, will give an idea of the selected nature of his program. The entertainment was | enjoyed by all, owing to Mr. Deering’s capability in rendering it. An examination for corporal was fortunate in passing: Privates Geo. Young George Wise, James Davis, Fred Yeager and Claire Smith and | they immediately started in on their duties. The following were appoint- ed without examination to the rank of sergeants: Corps.
