Pennsylvania Troops Showed Up Splendidly On Their Big Demonstration in Texas and New Mexico. By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, Sept. 20. The past week will be one that will never be forgotten by the men direct- as scheduled, and that, as usual, we all due to the fact that the four days’ hike of the entire division took pizce as scheduled, and that, as usual, we played the important role. Sunday was preparedness day al through Camp Stewart, as each and every unit was on edge for the hap- penings of the morrow, and ther» were quite a number of details to look after, as there always is in an under- taking of such character. It muct be taken into consideration that this has been the first time since the Civil war that an entire division was moved at one time. : It was exactly 4.30 a. m. Monday morning when the first call of the bu gle sounded from the cavalry head- quarters and about eleven hundred cavalrymen immediately jumped from their slumbers to answer the roll call at reveille, which was taken while the night was still upon us and the stars glittered and scintillated as they do only under a southern sky. It was almost impossible to discern one man from another, but as each man arns- wered “Here” to his name, it wasn’t necessary to see his face. ‘ After breakfast and the packing ‘o a lunch of sandwiches in our saddle bags, we made up our blanket and slicker rolls and saddled up, and-it was exactly seven bells when we marched from our troop street. The cavalry leading the division we marched to El Paso, then turned our course and with the Rio Grande river on the one side and the Santa Fe railroad on the other, started in the northwesterly direction. At the word of command the cavalry broke into a trot, then a gallop, and we soon reached the big smelter plant located not far from El Pase. This is the second largest ccpper smelter in the United States, consequently it was some sight to witness. But the town at this point is what struck the atten- tion of every man, owing to the fact that one can see a real Mexican vil- lage, just as it is pictured in the geography, without going into Mexi- co to see it. Truly a more quaint view than this place affords, one would travel a long time to see. Its adobe dwellings, with the public square in the center, a few peddlers with their wares suspended from a rod across their shoulders, and here and there a goat and a burro, are the principal features of the town. We did not linger here but went along at a lively clip to tne place where we went into camp about three miles above the smelter. After pitch- ing our “doggies” and putting out cur picket line, we unsaddled and rode our horses bareback through wilds and fastnesses that one might compare to the Everglades of Florida, a distance of about a mile to the river to find a good watering piace for our horses; and after feeding them on our return we were all hungry enough to eat even corned beef, but our water wag- on which was with the wagon train, had upset on the march and it was quite dark when supper was served It was a great dey, marred only by the scarcity of water for the men. Tuesday, the second day, was with- out a doubt the big day of the hike. We were acting as flankers to the in- fantry and about six miles south of them. Our trip was by way of the: borderland line in New Mexico, over concrete roads, and for miles on each side of us were large lakes until we reached the village of Canutillo where our course changed to a south- ern direction, which brought us into a country that was all one could wish for, in the beautiful Las Cruces val- ley. Here are the famous irrigation ditches, supplied from the wonderful Elephant Rutte dam, where sugar- cane and watermelons abound in plenty, as well as the usual crops of wheat and corn. We rested from noon until three p. m., on an alfalfa field that had started the growth of its third crop, while our horses were ridden into and through the irrigation ditches for the purpose of refresh- ment. We waited until the artillery and ambulance wagons were brought up on our front, then proceeded on our way to the town of Anthony, New Mexico, where we were to camp for the night. It was after eight o’clock when we neared the site and so dark a man couldn’t see the horse in front of him. A more exciting evening we never experienced, with the yelling and swearing as the two-span mule wag- on trains endeavcred to get the right- of-way, which we felt was rightfully. ours. Soon we were in a field covered with sagebrush which we set on fire and immediately prepared to spread our shelter halves for sleeping quar- ters and to stake off a picketing place for our horses. ! position Not a tent was put up that night | and all slept on the Zround, after a supper of the usual army grub served after eleven o’clock. The next morn- ing, Wednesday, our third lap was begun by wending our way toward the mountains, through the St. Augus- tine pass. If ever the army showed up perfection it was that day. One could look as for as the eye would carry, in front and see the cavalry winding its way over range after range of mountains, while looking down toward the valley the artillery and supply trains could just about be distinguished, and after we cleared the pass theiscene at the watering hole in the desert, where the entire regiment watered their horses at one time, was something that no man can ever forget. Our course was now duc south and at six p. m. we camped at Hitts ranch in Texas. We got in there in time to take our first little wash for our hands and faces from a wind-mill pond located at the ranch, and never did water feel so good. The balance ‘of the evening was spent in watching Harry Whiteman (who is also a mule skinner) and his associ- ates prepare that famous rice and fried ham combination, and seconds weren’t turned dewn by any one. The night was very cold and morning didn’t come any too soon for us. Next day we finished the remain- ing nineteen miles back to Camp tewart in record time, and a dirtier and happier lot of men was never seen. We were greeted by Lieut. Thompsen and members of the ma- chine gun troop who arrived earlier that day and were assigned to our regiment. The water heing off when we arrived it was supper time before we ware washed and bathed and look- ing our real selves once again. The hike simply wes wonderful. Not a man minded the strain of the nearly one hundred mile trip we had taken, although it had just gotten dark when all turned in for the night. Drill was postponed all day vesterday and today every man is ready to swing in once more. Steward Hampton, Luther Criss- man and Will Musser were left be- hind to take full charge of the camp, and they. did the job to perfection. Not a thing was disturbed during the four day’s absence. We had quite a sand storm here last evening and “Mona” Garman remarked: “Is ‘it any wonder Texas is so large? Why the blamed State never stays in the same place.” . Regards from all the troop and also Terry Boal’s scouts, who want to be remembered to the folks in Centre and have them know that they all ar- rived in the pink of condidion.

She returned to the house and her bed, but before she got asleep there was another distur- bance. Armed as before she made another pilgrimage to the hen house, but the chickens were still there and nobody in sight. Shortly before four o’clock there | was more trouble among the chickens and this time Mr. McGinley sallied forth with his revolver. No nerson was in sight but a count showed eight pullets missing and a dog in the hen house. Mr. McGinley killed the dog by shooting him five times and the next morning the dog was identified as belonging to a family on Halfmoon hill. —The Fauble Store will be closed tomorrow—Saturday, Oct. 7, until 6 p. m.
