'1 Tuesday; March THE EORT WAYNE SENTINEL. 1 THESTOPIJCo GRANDE AND THE PORT WAYNE BOYS WHO THE VALLEY OF THE OWER RIO GRANDE. Fort Wayne'a soldier bovs r. from the border. m6nth' the TM Bands, the Hoosler soldiers are mussed out and have returned to their olyto dutlea.

Fort Wayne hae planned welcome for them, an affair to take place today. 'If is. not onty td welcome the re i turning guardsmen, but to display lta jatriotlara that Fort Yayne haa set this day, in thess time of national peril, there can not be Ida great display patrjotio feeling, and Fort hould do lta beat to make ft eelf for one day at least the most en. thuslaatlcally American city on the continent, Fort Wayne hardly realizes what her boy hare done In the sands of Texas. Bits of Information coming In letters to parenta and friends have some of the story, but never haa an exhaustive reauma of the work and life of the Hooaler cltlwn soldiery on porder been written.

The President' Call, The call of President Wllsqn. for Kuard troops to the border on the lilght of the 18th of last June, found Fort Wayne with a miserably email, but, efficient guard quota. An infantry organisation of about forty men comprised the Summit City's of Captain John B. Miller; then In command fthls company, which at that time was a portion of the separate Infantry battalion of state tMfope, started out the night of thecatlto recruit his outfit tp war strength. Assisted by his son.

Lieutenant Mil ler, arid Captain Ray McAdams. at that time first Uteutenant of the company, in less than four days the num Der or men had passed the required war strength and company was ready, to move. Then came the flret drills at Fort Benjamin Harrison for the green recruits, who had Joined at the president's call. Those were 'days' of anxious and daye of labor for every man In the command. Many of the boya, green and tinhardened, went out' and worked In field drills' hour after hour and day after day, and presently It became, apparent that the Fort Wayne company was one of the best In the Indiana brifade.

Paper, work, wrapped in endless miles of, af my red tape, was new to the militia officers. And the regular army mustering officers were lm pa tient, and because the militiamen did not understand what they had never been taught, they, became soured on the guard. But the Forf Wayne officers arid enlisted 'men went about their duties arid did their arid each day their best became a little betfer. Captain John Miller, grown Exaggerated about the waist line, with good feeding and comforts of home, found that he could not pass the physical examination, because he was over the weight llrhlt. It Was sad for this old guardsman to have to stay behind, but he was happy top nt the.

thought that he. was sending to the front a company well officered and with a lot bfmon as anxious to learn and as hard working as any on those green ileitis at tne tort. So early In July the Tort Wayne infantry outfit left Indianapolis Tor "somewhere on the border," ns a part of the newly organized First Indiana Infantry, the command of Col one! Leslie Naftzgar. The Battery Organized. For many years Fort Wayne had supported a battery of field artillery, but when the government decided that students could be mad? Into soldiers, and interest here seem to fall, the equipment was 'removed to, Purdue university and the local artillery unit waa hiurtered out.

OnlTthe pony is lacking to make Oils a complete, pole outfit for the 4rt fcOPMKPBJiww Wayne could support a and It waa not many weeke after the edit that he was organizing the unit which became fa battery, first battalion, Indiana field artillery. Leaving Fort Wayne, with a war strength an organization forth most part composed of men who never1 had known military service, and, too; a pretty green looking lot of rookies, he ar rived at Fert Benjamin Harrison with a tought road ahead of film. If Company was worked hard, the Battery certainly labored double time and ho canteen. But it waa not long until it began to shape ltsalf Into a military tjutfit, and It left for the border with a knowledge of what soldiering, is, although still was comparatively soft Arrive on Border.

Company went to the border by way of Bast St, Louis, llmo, Little Hock, Texarkttna, San Antonio and Klngsvllle, Near San Antonio the scenery began to and sage brush and xnesqulte. appeared the first time in the lives of the men who were t6 become personally acquainted with It to a remarkable; Utent. One roqkle lodked put, of the win dow of the train. 'Say, fellows," he asked, "what's that queer looking "Why, that's said ths man. who had lived in Arlvohaon hla uncle's tanch.

"Cactust Aw; quick aj' the Cactus to quote the versatile Mr. Noah Webster i iFli Cactl a kind of prickly plant, a genua of plants, type of the family Cactaceac, cbnststlng of about 300 Mr. Webster is; wrong. He didn't count all of tltem. For Texas boasts.

more than that.number of varieties of the prickly plant. Llano Orande was the stopping place. One night the train stopped and' the guardsmen found, that they were at the town of Mercedes (pronounced Mer'rsay dees, 'the accent on the Second syllable), and that they but five miles from the BsoUrande. Three and a hair miles further waia Llano Grande (pronounced Yano dranday), where their "camp site was waiting." That Camp Rlto. In the first gray1 heat of the tropic morning they moved on, and In less than an hour were glad to tumble out of the sweaty coaches, they had occupied for a week, in the b1azng border morning liey were marched Across a little sandy past a blistered white ranch house, and were halted on the edge of a incaquue thicket.

Now it isn't the mesqultolKafs thick In the mesqulte thicket, 'it's, the things that grow aniong the mcsqulte; But "before you proceed hear ye what is mcsqulte, It Is a Mexican shrub br tree, gnarled, and with leaves like the fronds ef a fern. hard red wood ap'd never grpwlrig more than abjut fifteen or eighteen feet high. And there's about as much shade under a roesqulte ns there Is tin deer a Ashing pole. In among tho tree was cactus or rather, wenj all threo hundred varletios yon ahont In Webster's works anil then the others thrown in for luck. This place the'bpys Company were told to convert Into a carnp site.

That first day will remain clear and red and ugly in the mind of every man who answered the president's call. A sun overhead' that waa a. torment, a wind that breathed with blazing intensity and seemed to make the heat niore unbearable, and then a rain, a rain that fell and. splattered little hot drops on. the ff the tender guardsmen.

It was not a pleasant camping: place, to be sure, but the" tents ld atate Issue canvas that leaked badly held off part of the rain anI made a shelter for the weary guardsriieri who sank on their blankets and sought aleep Ira. the horrible, feverish, tropic night of early July. At riildilay a thermomeier in ihade of a mesqjnito touched even after dark it played about the hundred mark. After a night of sweaty attempts to sleep the Lot day broke, and the guard, men began ibeir second twenty.four hbura of labor in the sands of lower Te.xa.,' Where Is' LUno Grande?

Then' the me, quite came up from the south and the cactua from the west and soon the land was a tangle of plants. that rip and stick and tear.

Small detachments of.

regulars guarded, the big' pumps that supplied the water to ilarltngen, LeFerla, Mer cedes. Donna; Mission and the towns along the railroad six miles back from the river. Ranch houses, In grave danger of looting; situated on the military road half a mile, from the river, were practically unprotected. These places Were given the mllltlat men to guard. There were five, arid later six stations' to be guarded outpt Llano Grande, and the Fort Wayne boya had their work nhead of them Mercedes, pump, Progresso, Champion's Store, Donna pump, Sari Juan Hacienda, and )at6r the town of Donna Itself, all were guarded by Llano Grande troops.

Major Clyde Drlesbash, of Fort Wayne, was In command of the battalion on this guard at one time, arid later Company 13 was Hent to guard San Juan Hacienda (pronounced San Wan Hah. thee aln dah). In a bare plain, a mile from the river, and twenty two, miles frotn Llano Orande, stands a1 ruined sugar Here, iaB a guard 'to the mill and Its the Snh Juan itatlori ivaa occupied by the Fort Wayne boye. Trcrichea were built in every direction, and ft surprise Attack either by bandits or an Invading force was Impossible. The tents were1 set un in the midst of the trenches, and here In tho hot January sun and the cold rains' of the "northern," ribrth wlnd storms are called, they did their guard.

Fort Wayne guarded Uncle Sam's backyard. For six inlles up and down jitreain these patrols marched, always watching for activity on the opposite shore; nlways the sharp. lookout for bandits, exposed to the worst climate the continent know' In. one of the world's' most desolate spots.

Company "did Its bit." Arid bncit, in camp at Llano drando, when tho coriipnny was there. It waa riot ft case of sitting fay and waiting for something to happen. Mr. John Texas needed ronds along his southern border, and it was up to the.lndl ana voldlers to do their share. Many were the etlff backs and many the man who dropped unconscious at their labor In those days of.roaJd building between Mercedes and Llano arande.

Ambulances In a long train went out to the road gang empty and came back loaded. It was terrible work and It left the men weary beyond all belief. Then thero were the days of (Irlll ing and the nights of regimental and camp guard, and the two days hikes and the sham battles, all of which contributed to the making of the soldier. That Brownsville Hike. In the great fifteen flay hike and sham battle of the twenty three thousand men In the foroes, that extended from Llnno Orande to Point Isabel and back, the Indiana troops, and especially Company proved that they were no longer "untrained guardsmen," that they were no longer "rookies," but that they were noldters, as' fit and capable as.
