Arrived at Dayton at 2 A. M. Went into a hotel. Landlord
very insolent. Turned down the gas on the Major. Major told him he was the meanest
man he ever saw. He intimated that he was secesh. I told him to say he was half
secesh and we would clean him out so soon he wouldn't know it. Kept the light
burning. Boys stole a good many things. Went around Dayton a little. A very
neat city. Liked it well but couldn't go the “Vallandighamism” of the place.
Arrived at Columbus at 3 P. M. Remained with baggage to take care of Major's
things. After dark when I got to camp, stayed with Bill.
