Lt.-Colonel Healey Arrives In Hattiesburg With Division.

Hattiesburg, Miss.—The First Regiment, Indiana Infantry, is in camp at Camp Shelby, a complete unit. The regiment has been im mobilization camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis, for some time and the boys all seemed glad to get here, even though they arrived at the very moment when it was predicted that a hurricane was to strike the camp. Colonel E. F. Branch, commander of the First, is ill in Indianapolis and was unable to come here with his command and the regiment is under the command of Lieutenant, Colonel Healey for the time being. The First brings to Camp Shelby the largest band in the camp. This is made up of thirty-two pieces and is expected to add much to the programs of concerts to be given during the weeks ot come. Three trains hearing portions of the regiment have arrived. The first section brought Companies A, B, C, D, headquarters and supply. Col. Healey was in command.
