WIN PRAISE FOR MANEUVERS BUT MILITIAMEN LONG FOR HOME SAYS RICHARD DEVINE IN CAMP AT FORT CRITTEXDON, Texas, Oct. 8. We are the second day In camp on our supposed-to-bo 10 days maneuver, but us yet nothing has turned up to Indicate any mane uvers at all as we huve done nothing since arriving In camp with the ex ception of one hour's drill, but lay around doing bunk fatigue, play po ker, buy pies and candies, and hunt souvenirs nt the old fort and on the artillery rani;r near by. Some of the boys left camp yesterday and one of our company succeeded In bringing down a small deer which we enjoyed today. KtH-oml (V)iincrtlfut Raided. Lust nlKht was somewhat of a wild affair as the Second Connecticut In fantry was aino ro camp, as part of our brigade in the maneuvers, and as our boys had had one day s rest and were feeling fine, they thought it a good time to give the tenderfeet a lit tle touch of life In the far west. So as soon as It had became dark enough to enjoy a fire, most of the rtglmeftt went Out back of the picket line and proceeded to fire up, after which they commenced to mill around in the wildest Indian dance ever con ceived. All at once when the dan was at Its wildest ebb silence sud denly made itself heard and the dance stopped, then forth from the frothy mouth of some frenzied dancer came the cry, "Lets get Connecticut' and the damage was done. NojW fol lowed perhaps the greatest charge in tho history of the guardsmen on the border. Down the hill, across the In tervening ravine, up the hill on the other side and over the Connecticut's sentinels In to their camps. We were now treated to such sights as heads sticking out of pup tents others spar cely clad figures wrapped In blankets scampering into groups, back to -back for safety, and all pleading for the safeguard of their tents. Having ac complished their purpose the boys now charged as madly back to the fire and were here treated to a dash of cold water, as It were, by the lieu tenant colonel and the officer of the day, who ordered them back Into quarters and to leave the Connecti cut boys get their much needed rest. We now went to bed satisfied that we had lived up to our nickname of the Taqul Indians," which the Conn, s call us. This morning Connecticut moved out on the return trip to Nogales to entrain for home the fifteenth and you can Imagine how we felt when we were given no moving orders and had to stand Idly by and watch them go marching out, but we managed to cheer them a little whicn tney re turned warmly nnd we were forced to admit that they w-e a pretty decent sort of a bunch after all. Feeling blue as the distant hills and cursing the luck that had placed us In this predicament we watched them disappear down tho canyon and then returned to our tents to sleep and dream of home. Manouvrra Were Started. About 2 o'clock we were awakened from our afterdlnner sleep (a luxury) by the bugles sounding first call and assembly and this was followed by the order to strike camp, what for, we did not know, but there were wild rumors of going home and of fight ing in Nogales. We had nearly com pleted our march kits when the order came to pitch tents again as we were not to move out until tomorrow at 7 a, m. Where we are going to morrow we do not know, but shall move out about 11 miles on a tactical problem, and that the next day we shall start on our return to Nogales. As to going home, that Is still a mys tery', but we have hopes of being on the train before the 20th of October as tomorrow, the 9th at 11 o'clock we will have been on the border 90 days Are Raiding Mexican. October 9, 4 p. tn., Elgin, Arl7 Here we are at Elgin, a day's march from our last camp, and hourly ex pecting to be ordered out to meet the enemy or to move out on a night march. The situation Is like this. Our bat talion was ordered out th!s morning at d:30 a. m with a battery of Utah artillery and some mounted scouts to assume the part of a raiding Mexican party on a foraging expedition sent out from Nogales, which we have taken and are now foraging the coun try for cattle. We have reached El gin and have about 400 head of cat tle when we are closed In upon by tho Americans about 400 strong on the south. We find that our retreat is tut off by a regiment which has closed In on our rear. It is now up to us to reach Nogales as best we can and be lieve me we can sure do that if we can only get the orders. Our major, Ma jor Wlllkens of Hope. Idaho Is, In our r pinion, tlAS best officer in our regi ment, both as to manhood and as an officer and tactician and we lay our hopes on his ability to get ua out of this terrible predicament Tomorrow will perhaps see us nt the break of day miles away from our Present position and we hop to give the enemy a merry laugh when they pull into Nogales two or three days from now. The guardsmen at Nogales are leav ing as fast aa possible as both regi ments of Connecticut guards and part of the Utah boys have already return ed and California is to return the 11th. Hope we can return soon. First Rattle is Won. Oct. 11. In camp on the Santa Crui river. Well we are at last en camped again on the dirty old Santa Crux river, and I hope It Is the last time. The last two days have been very monotonous to our regiment and es Mexican raidinarty and have pene. trated the enemy's country and cap tured a large herd of cattle, when we are harassed by two regiments of in fantry and two batteries of artillery along with a troop of cavalry, when we reach Elgin, and have to turn back and beat a retreat for Nogales. We left Elgin at 7 05 a m. on a course due west. The enemy's position was six miles due south and our ob ject was to gain the pass at Old Fort Crittendon, thus avoiding being cut (ff by the enemy. The distance to be covered was eleven miles and we ne gotiated this distance, without a stop by 10:15 a. m. We had only seen the enemy once during this time and then they were not even within good artil- (Continued on Page .) JURY DISAGREES IN BLEDSOE CASE DR. BEST BEFORE CASE TO 60 .1 After being out for nearly 24 hours the jury in the damage case of Bled soe vs. O.-W. R. & N., reported to the court yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock that It was impossible to reach a ver. diet and the court dismissed the jury men from further consideration of the case. The ca. e required the agree ment of only nine jurors but they were hopelessly divided In their opinions. Mrs. Bledsoe was suing for $10,000 for the death of her son, John Milton Morgan, and she alleged he was kick ed from the train on which he was "beating his way" by Brakeman James MacMahon. Her principal wit nesses were the three companions of her son, but her case was weakened when the defendant brought out that on of these witnesses was an escape from a reform school. Defendant's principal witness wag MacMahon and his testimony to some extent was dis credited. Whether or not the case will be re. tried has not yet been announced. T D DIIT0 I'l I. II.

HANLEY IS INCONGRUOUS CLAIM PRO-GERMAN PACT WITH HUGHES NEW YORK, Oct. !J. The demo cratic national committee charged that the Pro-German American In dependence onference adopted a plank urging Hughes' election after an agreemnt with Hughes. Republican Chairman Wlllcox de nied It. He characterised the charge as "the cheapest kind of advertising in the interests of a lost ause" and challenged the democrats to produce the alleged agreement. Frank Sleberlich witnessed the Hughes meeting of the organ satlon s (Continued on Page 6.) Inasmuch as Mrs. E. B. Hanley haa reached Umatilla county In her cam paign for Hughes votes, the following communion from a Med ford man ex plaining who Mrs. Hanley la and just how hard she has been hit by the W.l son administration Is very timely: MEDFORD, Ore., Oct.

I am just a poor little country farmer come down to the city for the day. "These are indeed democratic times. After three years of democrat c administration, I am wearing my last year's suit and I had to sell two pigs to buy my railroad ticket." The above quotation is taken from the speech of Mrs. E. B. Hanles, as reported by the Oregonlan and la characterised by the reporter of that piper as a thread of delightful hu mor. Thread is not th word ble" would be more eloquent. Mrs. Hanley is the sister-in-law of Honorable Will am Hanley, the weal thy sage of eastern Oregon, who has c-jme out for Wilson. E. B. Hanley is not a small farmer In any sense, his real estate holdings In this county totaling more thin $100,000. Mrs. Hanley drives a beiutiful 191 s.cvl. inder automobile, and I recall read ing only a few weeks ago In the so ciety columns of a local nanr that "shes entertained 75 guests at her oeautuui home." the occasion being the unveiling of a llfesize portrait of Vrs.
