Enrowed Camp Began as Regiments Move South
The article describes Company H S D N G of Kimball leaving for the Watertown encampment with thirty five men, cooks August Marty and Chas Novotny aiding ahead to prepare meals. It also notes the Second regiment breaking camp last Sunday and the Third regiment facing camp life under regulars, with strict hours and marching. A separate item reports box elder tree pests in Box Elder, Pierre affecting trees in Kimball and Mitchell, and a diaristic column on advertising pay in Watertown. It ends with a lengthy recounting of Adventurer Davis of Platte and his clashes with newspapers and local figures, culminating in a street altercation and ongoing political factionalism.
