Troop B, Fifth Cavalry, Reached Army Post Tuesday.

Troop B, of the sth U. B. cavalry, which passed through Rensselaer Wednesday of last week, reached Fort Benjamin Harrison Tuesday and went into camp. They will instruct a squadron of Ohio National Guard cavalry and remain for the “War in Indiana” spectacle at the speedway on Sept. 6th. First Sergeant Byington, of the troop, who had been made very sick by eating “fly” fungus by mistake for mushrooms while at Frankfort, was pronounced out of danger Tuesday and was to join the troop at the post Thursday. The Indianapolis Star in describing the troop said it was a “symphony in brown,” with brown tents, brown men, brown horses, brown mules, brown transport wagons and even brown corned beef hash for supper, with just a dash of scarlet in the troop flag.
