About 80 members are now enrolled. From Camp McKenzie. CAMP MOKK January 27 At the AMP O INZW, ADVANCE: It has been some time sinoe I have written anything concerning the Worthington company in camp here. The truth of the matter is I am a poor hand at waiting letters and be sides there is not much to write about. 1 The health of the company con tinues good. The whole company is present except Chas. Peterson, who has been siok, and is now at his home in Jaekson on a 30 days' fur-' lough. The company is not nearly as large ae it was when we were mustered in. The total strength of oompany now is 94—we were mus tered in with 109. Three hare died —Everett Calvert, Jas. Moffit and Geo. Michael. £wo have been trans ferred to other companies, Walter Black and Jas. Walsh. Harry Bron sail has been transferred to the sig nal corps. Lieut. Bitner resigned, and the following have received dis charges, John Tinnes, Ed. Brooke, Daniel O'Neil, Jno Stearns, Harry Burmeister and Gus. Taylor. Wm. May and John Fixemier have been transferred to the hospital corps. The indications now seem to be mustered out in the spring unless something turned up in the pines which makes it necessary for troops to be sent there in a hurry. At least that seems to be the opinion of the officers and men here. The Third Brigade, of which the Fifteenth Minnesota is a part, are making a practical march today. They left early this morring and will be gone all day, covering six teen miles. They march the same as an army does in an enemy's eoun try. People'from the north can hardly imagine the poverty 6f mort of the negroes and some of the white peo ple here. I waa talking with a street car conductor the other night who had quit farming because of the low price of cotton. He is now working for 10c an hour. He said he had 27 "head" of negroes working for him on his farm. He*paid them 37c a day per head and board. His "board" consisted of two pounds of bacon and a peck of meal a week. Out of this money they had to sup port their families and pay rent to the farmer for their huts. .Bach meal hour there are negroes at the mess halls of the differont companies with their little tin pails get the scraps that are left over by the soldiers, which Would otherwise be thrown away. They tak these home with them to their families, so we are, no doubt, the means, of keeping a good many people from going hungry. We are not doing a great amount of drilling now, but about half of the drill time is spent in athletio exercise, such as base ball, indoor base ball and other sports. The Fifteenth has one of the best ball clubs in camp and are benting everything in sight. ASTHOB P. ROM. CAMP MOKSNZIE, I Feb. 10,1899.} We have been having pretty ex citing times here for the past few days, although everything is quiet again now. You have probably seen accounts of it by this time, although the papers had it pretty badly mix ed up. The Chicago papers had it that companies "H and L" were among the mutiners aYid were still at large. Last Saturday afternoon Denny O'Connell, a private of Co. UF" of this regiment was shot and instant ly killed by a saloon keeper down town, I was pretty well acquinted with the man who was shot, having been on guard with him several timess. As Soon as news of the shooting reached camp the regiment was furious, and several attempts were made by the crowd to get down town and lyach the mutderer, but they were stopped Sunday morning, however, they were worse than ever. The officers were unable to dp any thing with the men. A crowd made a rush for the commissary store house andvbroke it open, scouring about 1600 rounds* of amu nition. Seventiy-three of them then got their rifles and started for town. The colonel'and other officers talked to them for about half an hour be fore they started, advising them to go their quarters, and telling the con sequences of what they were doing. They would not pay attention to them,howeyer, but started for town °n double, time. Call to quarters sounded and oompanies "H and L" the two best two companies in the regiments, were detailed to go and bring back the mutineers. We were formed in front of the commissary and each man was supplied with five roupds of ammunition, and? th marched to the street car line where four cars were waiting lor u*-' The distance to town is about four miles and we did notmake very good time, 6wing to the fist that the mutineers had blo^adett the track in several places with Jjjocks.'iL, We reached town without|getting sight of the gang, and imMiately spread out in line of slirmiigiers, end went through the whole eit|| gradually approach ing thfe salagMil where the killing was done, anywhere it was supposed the gang, wojjlld go first. Four troops of cavalry were also called out and they got ilhere first and captured them, so we Md not get the honor af ter 411. Theifcame Very near being a fight beforethey surrendered, how ever. The cavalry commanded them to surrender* *thich they refused to do, wheretipdif both sides oommenced to load, and Were already taking aim at each other, when Lieut. Halay, of #o. *'D" this rtgiment, who had fol lowed the mutineers all the way from Camp", stepped out in front of them and begged them not to fire. It was a very pluoky piece of busi ness on "his part, stepping out in front of their loaded rifles when they were ready to jfire, but it worked all right and they finally surrendered without iBring a shot. We came up just as they surrendered. We thought at ene time we were going to get ^in to a battle, but were disagreeably disappointed, (t) The ringleaders and non-commissioned officers who took part are in irons. The others are in a stockade built near the regi ment and are very heavily guarded. The offlcers seem to think that three or four of the men will be shot. I don't think that any of them will get off with less than two years impris onment. Lionel Vought was the on ly Co. "If^man in the deal. His home is in Windom. He is a semi idiot and may get out of it light on that account. The whole regiment was immediately placed under ar rest and our rifles taken sway from us. The next day Companies "H" division re stored to us. Major-General Sum ner made us quite a speech in which he complimented lis on our prompt response to the call to arms and our efficient Work in helping to capture the mob.' Since then some of other compares have received the** arms, and all of them .will in time, except companies "F" ana "D" who had most of the men in the mob. They will -never get them back. There has been a great st:*v brought about by it) and it is understood that Gen. Sumner has recommended to the war department that we be mustered out at once* The saloon keeper whop4id tlje shooting has been captured and ip now in jail at Atlanta. The shooting as brought out at the coroners inquest was un justifiable. and "L" were taken over to headquarters and our arms were 03hhe boys are afraid he won't get his just deserts in a South ern court, and that is what made them so hostile. For the past three days we have been having very cold weather. The thermometer went down to 17 de grees above zero and we are very nearly froze to* death. We feel it more than we would 17 degrees be low zero in Minnesota. We all keepwell here and are en joying ourselues. ABTHGB P. ROSE.
