(Special Correspondence By J. F. Conners.) Nogales, Arizona, Aug. 6.—Today is Sunday and it has proved to be truly a day of rest; necessitating only “eats” and church for exercise. Yet, there is always a lull before the storm since we hawe a full day on the range to- morrow to work out the stiffnes of our shoulders. The battalion will leave quarters at 5 p. m., for the day’s work, thus demanding that we roll out of our cots at 4 o’clock. Sad news befell our lot when Lieu- tenant Griffin learned that he will re- turn to the regulars again, being as- signed to Co. K., Twelfth Infantry. We greatly regret to have him leave the company. He will take up his new du- ties tomorrow. Lieutenant Griffin has seen three years of service in the Philippines prior to his detail in Hart- ford as drilling instructor. During our short stay here, Lieutenant Griffin has made a friend of every man in the camp and each and every one wishes him good luck in his new duties, hop- ing that we will get him back soon.
