AT CAMP LAKE VIEW
Co. F Making Excellent Reputation and Having an Enjoyable Time

Letters received by the Advance-Herald from members of Company F now in camp at Lake City, all report that the company is making good in every way and the individual members are having a good time.

A card from Quartermaster Sergeant Charles Loveless says: "We are having a fine time and wish we could stay here all summer."

James DeVaney, of the Advance-Herald force writes: "We have the reputation of being the best behaved and best all-around company in the regiment. We have made good on the shooting, and nearly all of us have got to be marksmen and a good share sharp-shooters. so far we have been going through the same drill as before, but we get a change the last five days. They are going to try something new, but just what I do not know. We have got six orderlies out of ten. We get all we can eat and are getting fat and enjoying life."

Warren Rose writes the following comprehensive letter to the reporter:

"Company F entrained at 1;45 a.m., Thursday, July 15 for the annual tour of inspection and field duty, arriving at Mankato at 5:10 from which point they left by special train of seven cars, via the C. & N.W., arriving at Owatonna at 8:20 and leaving at 8:40, via the C.M.& St.P., for Lake City, arriving here about 11:40. We found dinner about ready and surely did justice to what was waiting for us. After mess the company in a body watched "guard mounting," then went for a company drill for about two hours, then prepared quarters and had supper after which they went out on dress parade.

"On Friday morning six companies, including Co. F, went out on the rifle range for practice, finishing in the 200, 300 and 500 yard ranges with a good showing for increasing the number of marksmen and expert riflemen.

"Second lieutenant R.r. Smith and Privates Earl and Leslie Black and W.W. Brekkon, of Rushmore, arrived Sunday morning and corporals Oberman and Cloud, privates J.Q. King, Oakley Tripp, Claude White, and Joe Hagerman, returned home Tuesday.

"Co F won orderly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, two on Sunday and one Monday.

"The following have received promotions: J.H. Elliott and George King to sergeants; Joseph Hildyard to corporal.

"The regiment is composed of the following companies: Co. A, New Ulm; B, Faribault; C, Winona; D, Northfield; E, Fairmont; F, Worthington; G, Austin; H, Mankato; I, Owatonna; L, Redwood Falls; M, Madison.

The following additional account is written under the date of Tuesday, July 20, at 3 p.m.: "Battallions are now preparing for a hike to be gone over night in the jungles, carrying three meals in the haversack. This is an intolerably hot day. Corporal Rose, privates Sowles, Edwards, Rasmussen and Murphy are on guard detail, forfeiting the pleasure of the hike. Co. A won the team shoot by 5 points."

Mr. Rose encloses a program of the general routine of each day in camp, together with the order for religious services, but lack of space and time precludes its use in this issue.

CO. F RETURNED
Sunday Morning From Ten Days Outing at Camp Lake View

Last Sunday morning the major portion of Company F returned from their annual encampment at Lake City. Those remaining were Captain Stelle S. Smith, Lieutenant Dodge, Corporal Joe Hildyard, and Private Claude Johnson, who were the sharp shooters of Company F, appointed to take part in a contest of all the expert riflemen from the various companies. The Worthington participants in this contest have good records and are expected to capture some of the medals offered for those making the highest scores.

The inspection and drills at camp were quite rigid this year, being conducted under the same rules and regulations a govern the regular state troops, while on duty. One new feature of the encampment was sham battle between different battalions. A very bad accident occurred during one of these encounters, which made some of the company begin to doubt whether or not they were engaged in actual battle.

On last Wednesday morning about 7:30 a.m. the 3rd battalion were sent out on the bluffs near camp where they were to repel an attack by the 1st and 2nd battalions in sham battle. Strict orders were given for every man in these battalions to leave all loaded shells at camp and to carry only blank cartridges with them to be used in this encounter. About 10 o'clock one of Co. B's men was struck in the right knee and severely wounded. The wounded man was Wm. Paschke of Faribault. He was attended at once by the hospital staff, who, fortunately, were near at hand, and who succeeded in checking the flow of blood by means of a tourniquet, until he could be removed to the regimental hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate his leg.

A strict investigation was made to detect the one, who had disobeyed orders and fired the ball cartridge, but as yet the officers have met with no success in this matter. The  loaded and unloaded shells are of entirely different shape and the only possible explanation for the mistake is that some one was inattentive to orders given. Co. F was with Co. B in the 2nd battalion at the time of the accident and therefore it was not a member of their company, who was responsible for the misdemeanor.
