From the Lawrence Daily World for July 30, 1910: “The streets of Lawrence presented a military appearance this morning when three hundred khaki uniformed soldier boys flocked through town to their camp in Victor Park. The troops represent the regular army and comprise the headquarters and Co’s K and I, 3rd battalion of Engineers stationed at Fort Leavenworth. The soldiers are enroute to Fort Riley to participate in the maneuvers there next week. They will spend today and Sunday in camp at Victor Park, continuing their hike early Monday morning…. F. W. Loyles sustained a broken shoulder at the Brown Grove picnic yesterday afternoon while endeavoring to turn handsprings. He was competing with a group of other young fellows and lost his balance, toppling forcibly backwards. The impact with the hard ground was sufficient to crack the small bone in the shoulder. Mr. Loyles is a young graduate surgeon and with the assistance of those on the grounds he set the bone himself and bound it up in splints. It was paining him considerably when he reached town this afternoon but is expected to heal quickly.”
