Troop L Fought A Mimic Battle. Stand on Sentry Duty a Half Day in a Hard Rain. Other News of In- terest from the Camp. By Corp. Harry J. Cohen. Camp Thomas J. Stewart, El Paso, Texas, Oct. 14. It seems, although it is now almost we will be unable to forget the pleas- ant surprise that was accorded us last Sunday in the form of a dinner that even landlord Herton S. Ray would have given his seal of approval to. We don’t know how it all happened, but we understand the government owed us a vebate on our allowance for our mess, which “we hada’ con- sumed during the monih. A check for the amount was sent us and the big feed was the result. No doubt you would like to know how the bill-of- fare fared, so here goes: Tomato pu- ree, chicken, mashed potatoes, «old slaw, celery, split peas, corn, pickled beets, radishes, coffee with sugar, iced lemon tea, creamed bananas, ice cream and cake and Fatima cigar- ettes. Some feed, indeed, and the on- ly things that were missing were the menu cards and the silver service. We left early Monday morning for what was to be a two days war man- oeuvre and about 11 o’clock reached our base position about twelve miles north of camp, where our squadron proceeded to pitch its temporary camp. We put up our “doggie” tents and layed our equipment in front of them, so as to get the benefit of a good sunning. After dinner Troop L was called upon by the Major to act as a patrol south of the base and to send out scouts in order to locate the enemy, which happened to be the first and second squadrons. It was but an hour later when one of the severest storms we have encountered since our arrival here swept down upon us, and as we did not have our slickers with us we were all drenched to the skin. You can imagine the picture we made standing out in the desert in the downpour of rain, with a strong east wind blowing. As our orders were not to return to the base until 6 p. m., we just naturally stood there, shiver- ing and chattering our teeth. After a wait that seemed ages the allotted time came and we galloped back to our provisional camp, only to find our tents washed down and all our blankets floating around in the brooklets the rain had formed. Night falls pretty early now, so those who wanted to catch a wink of sleep were forced to lie down in the mudpuddles and to cover themselves with their soaked blankets. To make the scene complete, as if it weren’t enough al- ready, it rained the entire night and a more thoroughly disgusted bunch could not be found when morning fi- nally rolled around. Capt. Curtin was asked by the first sergeant whether he wanted the usual morning setting- un exercice given the troop. “What,” replied the captain, “Haven’t we been setting up all night?” Getting all our possessions together after breakfast we started south and engaged the enemy in battle about four miles from Camp Stewart. From our position along the mountain we had an unobstructed view of the hos- tile force and we can’t see any other way but that we licked the daylights out of then, although we haven’t vet heard what the referee’s decision was. Having gotten back to our camp in time for a hot dinner we were sur- prised to see that the rain had hardly been felt there, as the dust was al- most as plentiful as ever. We were tired, and since no one suffered any ill effects from the experience, were glad that the manoeuvre was staged under those conditions. Our casualties con- sisted of one man missing in the per- son of Ray Bryan, who was captured by a hostile patrol, after giving them a warm chase and information that put them on the wrong track. The entire regiment was under ar- rest on Wednesday by order of the Colonel, and no man was allowed to leave camp that day, but as that alse was pay-day, we had more time to jingle our gold before the merchants of Fl Paso laid claim to it. Itis an assured fact that the thousands of soldiers here are the makers of many fortunes for the business people of this city. Our drills are not as strenuous as they have been and are now held mostly for the purposes of keeping the horses in shape. We have more time for ourselves and a good many of the fellows have purchased shot- guns and put in the time hunting the cottontail and jack rabbit, as well as other small game. Wednesday, the eleventh, was ex- actly three months since we landed here, and a good many of us believe it is time to quit, but from the rumors we get there don’t seem to be very much hope, although it hardly seems possible that we will pass the winter at this place. As usual the fellows are all in splendid physical trim and health, and it is a rare day that any of us report to the hospital for aid. Kindest re- gards from the boys to the folks in Centre, and also remembrances from Boal’s gun troop. ‘The Ladies Aic of the Meth- odist church will held an all day fair in Petrikin hall on Tuesday, Septem- ber 7th, at which there will be on sale fancy work, all kinds of food stuffs and cut flowers. Special orders may be given Mrs. J. E. Ward. ——Fven chestnuts have gone up. A Bellefonte merchant last week or- dered a bushel and a half and when he got the bill he was asked to remit at the rate of $10.50 per bushel. He might have kept the nuts at thut but when he found them four or five quarts short he returned the same. Two days later the Bellefonte merch- ant received a letter of thanks from the consignee, in which he stated that he had sold the chestnuts for two dol- lars more than originally asked. Hundreds of nimrods were out bright and early on Monday morning hunting for pheasant, squirrel and wild turkey, and hundreds of others were out on Monday evening hunting pleasure at the Scenic. Only partial success favored the fcrmer but the latter got all they were looking for and more. That’s what keeps up the Scenic’s big reputation. If you ex- pect to see something big it’s always bigger, and when you look for any- thing new it’s always newer. That is manager T. Clayton Brown’s big point in conducting the Scenie. The Bellefonte High school foot ball team opened their season with a whirlwind game, last Saturday afternoon, when they defeated the Jersey Shore High by the score of 40 to 0. In fact the visitors were entire- ly outclassed at every period of the game. Showing such fine form in the first game, if they continue to im- prove during the season the Delle- fonte boys should draw first count for that handsome silver leving cup offer. ed by Mr. P. P. Griffin, of Lock Ha- ven, as a trophy to the winner of two games out of three between the Lock Haven and Bellefonte High schools. ——Miss Mary McGarvey was the unfortunate victim of an automobile accident on Tuesday morning about eleven o’clock and as a result suffered a slight cut on the forchead, but was not otherwise injured. Miss Blanche McGarvey spent the most of last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Na- than Reese, at Karthaus, and Miss Mary went out on Saturday to spend Sunday. On Tuesday morning Alfred Reese, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Reese, decided to bring the young ladies home in the family Saxon Six car. Mrs. Reese and little daughter and Mrs. Meeker and young daughter came along. Coming around the curve in the road a short distance above Runville they came suddenly upon the traction engine and thresh- ing machine of C. P. Reese, which the latter’s twe sons were taking up the mountain. The automobile collided with the engine, throwing Miss Mary McGarvey against the frame of the windshield. All the others in the car were somewhat shaken up but unin- jured. Word was telepnoned to C. P. Reese, on the mountain, who came down with his big seven passenger car and brought the ladies to Belle- fonte. oo —— Former Bellefonie Girl Robbed of Jewelry. The followirg item from Monday’s Harrisburg “Star-Independent” will be of interest in Bellefonte because Mrs. Hummel before her marriage was Miss Lucretia Williams, a daugh- ter of the late George Williams, of this place: ’ Charged with robbing the apart- ment of Mr. and Mrs. V. Lorne Hum- mel, 107 South Front street, of jewel- ry valued at more than $300, Mrs. Belle Bennett, of Indiana street, a do- mestic at the Hummel apartment, was arrested yesterday and lodged in jail by the police. The Hummel rob- bery occurred on Saturday afternoon and following the arrest, in which Police Chief Wetzel, Captain Thomp- son and Policeman McCann and Hy- land figured, most of the stolen jewel- ry was recovered. Part of the stolen loot, according to the poiice, was found in a box in a shed which had been searched the night before by the authorities, while the remainder of the jewelry was re- covered in a yard adjoining Mrs. Ben- net’s home. The woman denied hav- ing any knowledge of tne robbery, but made statements which were contra- dicted by other witnesses. Pardon Recommended for Garfinkle. The Board of Pardons at their reg- ular ineeting on Wednesday recom- mended a pardon for Howard Garfin kle, of Philipsburg, convicted in the Centre county court for receiving stolen goods and now serving a term in the western penitentiary. Only five pardons were recommend- ed at the conclusion of the October hearing, the Board declining to ask that clemency be extended to Henry Ward Fottern, aged 17, of Jefferson county, condemned to be electrocuted for murder, although judges had join- ed in the petition. The case of Dom- inick Digiso, aged 18, Schuylkill coun- ty, to have been heard on Wednesday, was continued. The Board also refused all applica- tions for rehearings and all held over cases. | fonte Monday NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —J.

Champion, of Wil- liamsport, will hold a hearing at Beech Creek next Monday in the mat- ter of the claim of Mrs. Claire Mains against the Pennsylvania railroad company for compensation for herself and five children as the result of the death of her husband, Simecn C. Mains, who was struck and instantly killed on the crossing at the Beech Creek station on the afternoon of May 26th last.
