The Four Days Hike
A Magnificent Pageant.
Th. 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.

Chicken
Thieves Raided Thomas
Street Hen House.
On Tuesday night, or in fact be-
tween three and four o’clock on Wed-
nesday morning, some person robbed
the hen house of A. L. McGinley, on
Thomas street, and got away with
eight Rhode Is' nd red pullets. It was
after three c’~iock in the morning
when the far-"v was disturbed by the
cackling and 7ittering of their chick-
ens. Mrs. 1 -Ginley was the first out
and armed with a baseball bat she
sallied forth to the hen house, but
failed to s~c anyone, while the chick-
ens were all there. 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.
