By Corp. Harry J. Cohen.
Camp Thomas J. Stewart,
El Paso, Texas, Sept. 16th.
We have just gotten through with a
day that may have counted for much
from a military standpoint, still to us
it was more like getting ready than
actual work performed. We were in-
spected this morning for the first
time as a mounted regiment by
Colonel Morgan of the United
| States army, and were on the
field for the occasion promptly at
7.00 a. m. It was a little past twelve
noon when our morning work was
over, which consisted of platoon and
squad drill, and troop drill dismounted
and in extended order. Immediately
after mess all hands got busy laying
out their equipment, both govern-
ment and personal property, accord--
ing to a blue print furnished for the
occasion. Although we were ready for
the captain, a member of the regular
army, to make his rounds of our
troop at exactly two o’clock, it was
after five p. m. before he performed
his duty, which took him ahout five
minutes. It was a very tiresome
afternoon, but there: was consolation
in the fact that tomorrow being Sun-
day we will be exempt from the reg-
ular Sunday morning insrection, giv-
ing us the entire day for ourselves.
During the past week all the targets
have been erected on the rifle range
and we are now expecting that any
day will find us on the range showing.
some of the city members what a
bunch of country hoosiers can do
when it comes to handling a rifle in
the way it was irtended to be. Lloyd
Shawley, for one, is among those who
are aching to show that he has the
stuff that is necessary to win real
honors. Since Monday we have been
under personal instruction of Ser-
geant Vrooman, who will be remem-
bered as our instructor while we were
still in Bellefonte and who is on de-
tail as assistant to the officer of the
troops of the third souadron, which
consists of the trcops from Bellefonte,
Lock Haven, Lewisburg and Sunbury.
Our location for drill purposes has
been changed so that it takes about
fifteen minutes to ride from camp to
the site. It is located close to where
the troops from South Carolina hold
forth.
While out on the field last Wednes-
day we were surprised to see six of
our horses which were under the
veterinary’s care, dash past us at
breakneck speed. They had been
taken out for exercise by the stable
crew and were frightened by several
rattlesnakes, hence their dash for
liberty. Sergeant Shreffler at once
put the spurs to his steed and after
an exciting chase of ‘two miles round-
ed up tne leader, but not before he
accidently crashed into a soldier of
company H, of the 18th infantry, who
happened te dart into the road just as
Shrefler bounded past. The poor lad
was hurt to such an extent that he
was sent to the base hospital, but is
coming along first rate now. The
sergeant stood a good chance of un-
dergoing a court martial, but
through the good graces of Capt.
Curtin they finally convinced the com-
mander of Company H, that it was an
unlucky accident, so the matter was
dropped.
Quite a little excitement was cre-
ated the other evening when a fire
broke out in one of the tents of Troop
G, of Philadelphia. The loss was
trivial, but the occupants had no hap-
py home urtil the following morn-
ing. But that was little inconven-
ience, for there is so little difference.
between the inside of a tent and out-
side, so far as the temperature is con-
cerned, and a sweater is almost nec-
essary for comfortable sleeping every
night.
John Sanford, while attending to
the watering, had a horse rear up as
he was nearing the trough. The frie
tion caused by the sudden jerk of the
halter shank through his hand caus-
ed that member to swell to almost
twice its size, so that he was obliged
to go to the base hospital to have the
bone scraped. ‘Evidently John is sat-
isfied, as Billy Musser received word
that he is on a diet of ham and 2EgS
and is wearing, honest to goodness,
pajamas!
First Lieutenant Taylor the other
evening happened to leave his horse
stand without being tied, which is a
terrible crime, and naturally Old
Dobbin started tc walk away. Pete
Delal, when he recovered the animal,
said: “Lieutenant, you ought to take
an hour on the wood pile.” But noth-
ing doing so far, as wood was only
made for second-class privates to
handle.
The writer last. week took a short
trip to the village of Ysleta, located
about two miles’ down the Rio
| Grande. river, through. -a.country that
is criss-crossed with a large number
\
of irrigation canals and covered with |
huge watermelon farms, and an abun-
dance of cantaloupe and cotton fields.
It is supposed to be the only real
Mexican village on this side of the
boundary line, 2nd as quaint a place
as I have ever seen. The second old-
est church in the United States is lo-
cated there. It is over three hundred
| years old and a true Roman Catholic.
| It is kept open all the time for the
benefit of visitors.
The cavalry college boys of Penn-
sylvania held an informal dance last
night at the Paso del Norte hotel, the
' most magnificent hostelry in the
southwest, and tkose of Troop L who
shone resplendent were Sergeant
Deering and Corporals Davis and
Yeager, but Jimmy’s star was a little
the brighter. Thc girls were furnish-
ed by a woman’s- organization of the
city, members of which acted as
chaperones.
The 8th infantry band of Carlisle
serenaded” Troop C, of Harrisburg,
last Thursday evening and of course
the balance of the regiment was on
hand to share in the applause.
William Rote, after being beaten
three games at checkers, signed up to
enter the checker tournament that is
tobe held at the Y.M.C. A. next
week. Some nerve!
This being about all for this time
will close with the best regards of the
boys, and assuring you that the
health of the troop couldn't be im-
proved; in fact if it was any bet-
ter we would have to consult a phy-
sician.
Dr. Dale is Home.
Dr. David Dale, who left Bellefonte
on July 5th to begin service as a sur-
geon with the rank of Lieutenant in
the Medical Reserve Corps of the
United States ariny, unexpectedly ar-
rived home last Friday evening.
While in the service he was located at
Laredo, Texas, and attached to the
coast artillery which had been organ-
ized into a provisional
ment. - His regiment having been or-
dered to Newport, R. I, the Lieut., ac-
companied it to that point where he
reported, turned over his properties
and was under general orders to re-
port back to Ft. Sam Houston, in
Texas, for a new assignment. He
immediately left for Washington,
where the War Department advised
him that he might return to his home
here while awaiting further orders.
He looks well, speaks highly of the
conditions under which he served
and has had a lot of
periences. He was six hundred milés
distant from the location of Troop E,
so knew scarcely as much of their do-
ings as we have learned through
Corp. Cohen’s entertaining letters in
the “Watchman.”

week, owing to last Thursday night's

breaking enrollment in all depart-
ments, as indicated by the Freshman

commodations only those who can
qualify fully are being admitted.
Quite a number of changes and addi-
tions have been made to the faculty

starts out under very favorable au-
spices.
——On Thursday evening of last
week considerable excitement was
caused at the Diamond when County
Treasurer David Chambers’ automo-
bile took fire as he started the car to
go home. Mr. Chambers and his
daughter,, Miss Verna, were on the
front seat and three other young
ladies on the rear seat. Mr. Cham-
bers pushed the starter but before he '
could throw the car into gear a sheet
of flame shot up from the motor. All !
the occupants got out of the car as
quickly as possible and with a fire ex-
tinguisher from Mr. Heverley’s store
the flames were finally extinguished :
without doing any damage to the car
except scorching the paint. Dirt in
the carbureter caused an overflow of
gasoline , which..was..ignited by the
spark, causing the fire.

Three Auto Accidents.
Mrs. R. S. Brouse, with her Stude-
baker car figured in an automobile
accident at Hublersburg on Monday
afternoon which fortunately resulted
in nothing more serious than damag-
ing the car. She had taken a party of
ladies on a drive down the Nittany
valley state road and cn the return
trip, just as she came to Hublersburg
she saw a Ford car approaching from
the opposite direction. Mrs. Brouse
was on her side of the road and the
driver of the other car was unfortu-
nately on the same side, which was
the wrong side for him. When near-
ing Mrs. Brouse the man pulled over
to his side of the road, but he seemed
somewhat bewildered and when the
cars were almost together he pulled
to the left, directly ir front of the
Brouse car. To save a head-on colli-
sion Mrs. Brcuse pulled sharply to
the right and collid>d with the big
tree that stands in front of the Hub-
ler hotel. The right front fender of
her car was torn off and the wind-
shield broken, which was the biggest
damage done. One of the ladies in
the tonneau of the car was thrown

Ford on the front and threw it right
around in a circle so that when it
stopped it was headed direct for the

the Ford was bent, the steering gear
bent and the fender jammed, but

scene helped straighter. things out

stoved up, but it was not damaged
otherwise.
