A Ypsilanti Boy Injured at Camp Poland.

William Freeman, of Ypsilanti, civilian mule driver with the 31st, is the victim of a rather peculiar circumstance. He joined Roosevelt's Rough Riders at the beginning of hostilities, served through the Cuban campaign and came through the experience with only a slight wound in the wrist. Last Monday, while driving his team in the rear of the company cook shanties, the wagon struck a boulder and he was pitched onto the frozen ground. He struck on his face and it was badly mangled, a deep cut in his nose and lip, and the left side of his face was badly bruised. He was taken to the hospital and required considerable attention before he was made comfortable.
