Show UTAH TROOPERS II . ATTRACTIVE CIP Cavalrymen Settle Down to Work of Preparation for Possible Hostilities. Special to The Tribune. NOGALES, July 17 With camp established es-tablished and the members of the First squadron. Utah cavalry, quickly adapting themselves to the new climate, regular camp routine is now carried out each day, consisting of drills, schools, patrolling, patrol-ling, ef:. Although the rainy season has set in and hardly three hours pass , before a miniature cloudburst occurs, troopers in slickers may be seen on all sides of the hills surrounding the camp, getting their army schooling. On the same hill which the Utah troops occupy, overlooking Xogales. is the Idaho federalized guard. 1S35 strong. The Idaho contingent boasts a band, the only one encamped here, which is a great source of joy, not only to the American troops, but to the Kogales residents, who pather around the plaza in town each night in great numbers. With field glasses it is easy to distinguish distin-guish Mexican patrols on their side of theline at almost any moment. At first a sight of one of these men would cause great confusion in the Utah camp until the glasses were located and each man had a hasty look. However, the novelty of this has already nearly worn off and a sight of a Mexican soldier is getting to be a rather common thing. With palms, century plants and cactus, the troopers have so laid out their company com-pany streets that they resemble small boulevards, even to the flowers. Although the troopers are given unlimited unlim-ited access to the American side of Nogales, they are forbidden to cross the border, which cuts the town nearly in two. With good food, cool weather and fair water, the boys from Utah are getting along extremely well, and the majority are really pleased with their new home in the south. |
