A tramp assaulted a young lady in the south part of the city last Monday who beat him with an umbrella, and by vigorous efforts freed herself from his clutches.

In the mean time, people will have to climb the hill by another route. At 8 o'clock Saturday evening eight companies of tbo First Regiment U, S. U.. reached Milton on the N. P. U, 11., near which is Camp Giblon, the camp Mug half a mile east of the railroad and I about a mile west from the Columbia ! river and ihe town of St. Helena. The site la i fairly pretty one on the north side of Milton crtwk, a clear mountain stream, the ground occupies being about M by 300 yards, and surrounded by fir and oak woods The mens is a pretty one as the eye gases upon this Inclosere with its streets of tents and numerous soldier engaged either In military drill, gathered about in groups, or busy at such camp avocations as are, required Around all marches lbs solitary sentinel. But if the scene is a pretty one the bovs aie not seriously impressed with its W-rtuty, as thev aie too generally engaged in vigorous kicking to enjoy the beauties of nature and camp life. Thecity of tents is built on four streets, j one of the eight companies being assigned to one side of a street. Cmpany F is on the south-east side of the second street from thh south-east, and has eight tents, oiieofthee being occupied by First Ser geant Kelly and quarter Master Sergeant Whitlock. This is the ottlce of the com pany from which issue all reports and supplies The oilier tents on the street are occupied by other non-commissioned officers and high privates, four being assigned to each tenl. At the head of the street wbich is on the south-west is Captain E. S. Warren's tent, which Is occupied by himself and Second Lieut T. P. Randall. J. W. lianong would also W an occupant of this tent if here, but business has so far detained him at home Company F is represented here at present by Captain K S Warren, Second Lieutenant T P Randall, Sergeants Kelly F S, Whitlock W T, F.nglisby C; Corpo rals, IVikins L L, Gardner 1., White W A, Marvis 1., and Peterson C ; privates, liurch I!, Pressor A S, Green S, Green J. ; Mathison A, Nepcar S, O'Connell J W, Pattee A E, Rhodes J E, Rands F. M, ' Rands K P. Riley S, Uineaison George, I Somen A K, Stuart J, Treiubaih J. Wil- ' Hums H and Warner George. Corporal ; Smith and privates Ferrin and McKit j trick have been here but had to leave. I Company F is well represented, much ! better ill fact than most of the other ! companies. The men make a fine ap ! pcartuce, and hold their own w ell in the ! various drills. As I write the regiment I is passing in review before General Gil, ! bon of the Tinted States army, and Cnl. Bcebe and staff of the O. N It. Com- panv F has onlv eight men in line, eixht ! others, or a double set of four, having I been marched back to camp to equalize the companies. All companies in camp have dress uni forms, including whiU) helmets, except company F of Oregon City and B of Mi Minn ville. Conip iny F has lieen expect ing every day to receive its uniforms, but numerous telegrams in search of the missing garments today failed to find anv clue. Tonight for the first time the camp is astir with life. The excursion from Portland on the Potter arrived just as dress parade was dismissed, so that the excursionists saw none of the drill, hut they were in part com pensated for this by the dress parade of the "Fourth Infantry" in full antique Comanche costume. This was followed by numerous athletic combats. So fur, guard duty has constituted a large part of the drill, as many as eight of F company having been called to guard at one time. As guard duty keeps one out from i.:!0 a. m. until 8 p.m. and from 6 p. m. till K a. m. with a pos sible chance to sleep only about three hours, the job is no sinecure. It has Out one redeeming feature, viz, the guard does not have to do duty of any kind the day follow ing. The day guard however has no such exemption, hut is required to police the camp tho day fol lowing as well as to attend all drills The "police" are really scavengers who must put in a good part of the day not taken np in drills in cleaning up the camp just as scavengers do in cities. Their implements consist of wheel barrows, rakes, brooms, shovels, etc. Their cog nomen in camp is the "chain gang.1' Yesterday Company F had eight in the guard house and the same number in the "chain gang" today. The guard house looks much like a board shanty on the plains. It baa already had several occupants among whom were Ave men of our own company, who persisted in sleeping with their pants on. The captain did net gain his point any way as the boys slept with their pants on but in the guard house. It has not been necessary to put.a single member of the regiment proper under restraint for drunkenness, but tonignt an order was promulgated on forbidding the use of liquors except for medicinal purposes. The boys are now likely to be all sick. But the order may have been issued for the benefit of the staff officers, as one of the guards found and appropriated a bottle of fine imported liquor found there. It was probably put there by some private to tempt the officers. Kicking! Well I should say so. Co. F, and its members have been kicking exceedingly high, constantly and vig orously since lUtoeii niluules idler they lando.i In camp. Tho miserably poor, grub which bus been served up was the! principle esiie. The food wa imtcii of it-unlit to cook, sud was thrown on to the table in anv shape. Potatoes ap peared with Jackets on, and evidently unwashed, meal tainted mid illy cooked, beans sour and the same thing repeated meal aftor treat On Monday there was a threatened revolt in camp. The boy would have left, but the dim Tuesday was a slight improvement, and today things aie a little lettor. Quite a number of Co. F's boys go lo St. Helen's for n square meal whenever they can get off. Friouuin, ol Portland, iumishea this poor stuff called grub, and the boys say that he Is sup plying the tamp with the refuse of his Portland rrstauianl. He also has a re freshment stand ins' do the guard lines at which be charges more than double rates, and the olllceta aie evidently standing In with him to ioh the privates as they will not let any one pass to pro cure refreshment t an outside stand which sell at hall tne pi ice. The vigorous kick sgalnst so much guard duty has also nsbii ea a good result in reducing the guard line. I'oit laps have tiiu k and I must quit. j CITY LlifilSLATURIi. : An adjourned meeting of the city council was held Monday evening.
