Strenuous Day for Camp Cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe
Soldiers of Capt. Purington's troop endured the most strenuous training of their lives at the southern military camp. They endured battle maneuvers that brought blood and blisters, with the commanding officer thrown from his horse without injury. At night Lieut. Wildrick spoke on ordnance and projectile ranges, while reports from the Mexican border drew attention. A Dallas civilian infantryman from the Fourth Texas infantry may be recalled if border orders come. Gen. Wood said nothing would be taken from the camp if avoidable, and he planned to spend the next week there.
