Fork?, knives and spoons were missing; as were also toothpick holder?, books and a few cthe ' s>mall things that had been left about in handy places. I t was not unti l then that Manager Hoffman came to the con elusion that It was not very profi table business feeding hungry soldiers.

Others of the regiment, who were suf ferine more from thirst than hunger, and who were drinking the depot sa­loons dry, were not able to catch the train before i t pulled out . Some wen; south on the regular passenger at 6:05 but others remained over night.

The excursion train arrived in th* city on the Great Western an hour late, not gett ing in unti l 5:30. Hy the t ime i t was taken up to the transfer and got on the Central 's? l ine i t was nearly <! o 'clock Conductor Jackson took the speeia south, the train being pulled by lCngi. r .eer Summers, with engine No. SO. Th«' companies <;r board were A, of Albi . i ; K, of Center*Tie; H, of Charl ton: K. of Grinnell ; L. of Newton. Company Iv, r , l the Forty-ninth Toledo, came down or. the special as far as Cladbrook, wlimv they were transferred to the northern lo.va division of the Northwestern to Tama.

The Company W boys and the Forty-ninth Iowa band arrived home on the regular Great Western passenger at 7 o 'clock. The boys were in good spiri ts well tanned by the sun and looked as if the week in camp had produced benefi­cial repnIts . Most of the number were somewhat l ighter in weight, the exer­cise, to which many were not accus­tomed, having brought them down'a bit Capt. Brown, who nlmself is e 'even; pounds l ighter than when he left h ' loe a; week ago. in speaking of the camp, said: that he was extremely proud of his com­pany and the manner in which the ;

members had behaved during the week More or less rowdyism is always expect- ' ed at mili tary encampments, but Capt I Brown said thut Company 11 refrained ;

from this in any form. "There wasn' one of our men under the Influence o l iquor during the entire week, to ac­knowledge," he said, ' 'and I think j would have learned of i t if they had' been. Neither was there one man who: missed a dri l l or who was disciplined In any way for any misdemeanor. I know | that is saying a gnod deal , and especial-1 ly when I say i t myself , but r take nonr • of the credit . Our company this year was an extremely young one. probably, younger than any in camp, yet they were up with any of them, even with Company A, of Dubuque, which is con- j sidered the crack company of the regi- j ment. The good behavior of ihe boys on the train on the way to Dubuque was the source of much comment by the dif ferent officers of the various compa­nies."

The greatest disadvantage In camp this year, according to the returning mili t iamen, was the dust . Dubuque hat not had rain for forty-two days prior t<. the beginning of the camp, and none j fe l l then unti l last Sunday. Since that t ime, or the remaining two days, camt life was quite pleasant. Owing to the extreme hot weather the ofl lcers did no1

work the men very hard and there wers but very few prostrat ions.

Horace Nichols, of Mariet ta—Nearly an average crop.

Allen Pemberton, of Mariet ta—A li t t l i more than half a crop.

the terrible stuff than any other person thereabout. He was known as 'Devil Dick, ' and i t wiis a l i t name for l i im. He had a <-li i im named J>nn Sutton, who was almost as reckless as Dick, and I have seen him and Dick play catch many a l ime with cans of glycerin they were un­loading, the dropping of one of which to the ground would have more than likely

out of existence every person around the well . .

"It got so that whenever Dick Warner had a load of ni troglycerin to unload at

•xcept Dan Sut-and staid there

unti l the stuff was out of their custody. Once 'Devil Dick' held a great can of nitroglycerin above his head and let a drunken dri l ler mimed Patterson throw ten stones at i t from a distance of 30 feet on a bet of .?1K) that he couldn' t hi t the can once out of the ten t imes. This was at Roan's camp, and the whole camp watched the insane proceeding from safe distances on the hil l . One of the stones hit Dick on the arm, not two inches be­low the can, and knocked i t out of his hand. l ie caught the cau, though, before i t reachcd the ground or the throwing match would have ended there and then, with the burial of such hits of Dick and t i le dri l ler as could be found, and they would have been exceedingly Jt iw* and small . The dri l ler came close to the can several t imes during the tr ial , but fai led to hit i t , and Dick won his bet .

"In those days the woods al l through the oii regions were full of wild animals, and i t wasn' t an uncommon sight to see a bear or a Canada lynx or a catamount prowling round the camps or isolated oil vi l lages. The lynx was frequently very aggressive and bold, and i t was greatly feared by the dri l lers and others at the wells . More than once men had been at tacked by lynxes, and James Oarker. a pumper, was so badly hurt in f ighting off one that had jumped from n tree upon him r.s he was driving through a piece of woods that he died of his injuries. One day 'Devil I ' l ick ' was on his way to a well with a I0;ul of ni troglycerin torpedoes, and he picked Dan Puttou up o:i the way. On a stretch of the road through what w.is known as Conway's woods Dan discovered a big Canada lynx steal­ing along through the branches of the trees at one side of the road and keeping even with the wagon, l ie called Dick's at tention to tho animal, and Dick said that i t was watching for a chance to at­tack them, but declared that if i t follow­ed them a< far as Clay's opening l ie would get r id of the dangerous beast .

"Clay's opening was a gap in the woods and a ravine 20 feet wide and as many deep. The lynx did follow the men us far as the opening, and Dick stopped his wagon.

"The lynx crouched a few feet away from the edge of the nearest wall of the ravine, and before Sutton surmised how Pick intended to get r id of the animal Dick grabbed up a can of nitroglycerin and hurled i t with al l his strength at the lynx, which was not over -*0 feet away. The car. s truck the soft body of the lynx square in one side ar.d knocked the ani­mal over on i t i back. The tlesh and fur of the lynx did uot offer resistance to the can sufl icient to cause concussion enough to explode i t , but the can rolled on the ground and -lowly down a gradual de­cline that led from where the lynx lay to the edge of the ravine wall .

"Sutton, with al l his recklessness in handling nitroglycerin, stood aghast nt this deliberate r isking of their l ives by Dick, for he knew that the instant the can rolled into the ravine and struck the rocks below the terrible explosion that had been so luckily averted hy Dick's good aim at the lynx would follow. Qnicker than a flash he jumped from the wagon, tore l ike mail up the ravine and stood beneath the spot where the torpedo would tumble into the gully when i t reached the edge.

"A scraggy bush of some kind grew out of the top of the wall , and just as Sutton reached the spot the can of nitro­glycerin had rolled to the edge and struck against the main stem of the bush. The can had struck i t a tr if le out of the center, and the heavier end of the torpedo moved on an inch or two unti l i t extended a li t­t le over the edge.

"Sutton stood below with uprcached hands to catch the can if i t fel l , but there i t bung against the bush, in a posit ion that looked as if a breath of wind would

ver into the ravine. A. 11 this had occupied but a few sec­

onds. As soon as the torpedo lodged against the bush Sutton run back to the road, shouting to Dick to drive on so they could get to a safe distance before the fal l ing of the can and i ts certain explo­sion on t t ie rocks below. But when he got to the wagon he saw Dick with an­other torpedo raised, ready to hurl i t af t­er the first one. He lowered i t , though, and looked around at Sutton as if he was disappointed.
