Show A VISIT TO THE WAR PRISON. While in Salt Lake City Tuesday, Burke McArthur and other editors of the state were entertained at dinner at Fort Douglas by the commanding officer. The regular army menu was served in the soldiers' quarters to the brothers of the quill. The scribes had a real taste of army life during the noon hour. Following the dinner, din-ner, Captain Gullion showed them through the barracks of Company I., and then took them through the school room, where a battle field was laid out in a big sand pit with all the trenches and net work of wire entanglements en-tanglements arranged according to those made in the battle fields of Europe. Through the courtesies of Colonel Byrum, the gentlemen were taken through the War Prison by Lieutenant Brown, who very interestingly interest-ingly explained the rules of the prison, pris-on, and the way in which the prisoners prison-ers were handled. When asked by a friend in Mount Pleasant, how the kaiser's 6pies looked, McArthur stated stat-ed that "some looked like a lot of brilliant villians, while others acted like a bunch of skulking sneaks." |
