applications appli-cations the number of volunteers from this city has been cut down so that not more than a dozen were accepted Captain Caine took this plan because the boys from the country had been called in and he did not want to disappoint dis-appoint them tem Frederick C Loofbourow was greatly disappointed He had been tendered the position of first sergeant of the troop but in the physical examination I he was turned down by the examining I physician and compelled to stay at I home I GUARD MOUNT Guard mounting was indulged in by the batteries for the first time Lieutenant Lieu-tenant Gibbs being the officer of the I day Visitors were kept back from the men and the drills were uninterrupted by crowding as has been the case at I times Drills by the way are quite plentiful five each day and the bcya are beginning to find out what it is to be a soldier I is quite warm at the camp and the perspiration starts on the men a great deal easier than it would have done last week THE RATIONS I The men were kicking a little on the I rations yesterday Not about the quantity I quan-tity particularly but because of the way the stuff was cooked Pork for breakfast was fried until it was crackling crack-ling and the beef served was as nearly raw as it could be after seeing a fire The men complained too of the potatoes po-tatoes saying they werenot fit to eat The quantity of bread and potatoes was both short and the bacon was reduced to the size of a dollar piece Dinner was not much better on account of the beef being under done The men or several of them say they cannot drill on such short rations and one of them who called at the office last evening declared it was absolute starvation to force such short messes on the volunteers WILL BE 0 K TODAY Sorril of the enlisted men suggest that the reasons for this is that the number num-ber of men who came in and ate during the first few days was far in excess of the number of rations supplied and that now an effort is being made to even up One of them said he had been told by the cook he could call around and get a snack for what the thing was worth after meal time and suggested the cooks were holding out However it is learned that everything every-thing will be satisfactory today The rations will be issued all right and there will be plenty Of course coming from good homes the boys are not accustomed ac-customed to roughing i and it seems a little awkward at first but the offi cers are doing all in their power to make things pleasant I is hard work the officers have had and a little patience pa-tience on the part of the boys will work wonders Lieutenant Wells who has had charge of everything in the recruiting recruit-ing commissary and quartermaster line has labored like a Trojan for the comfort of the men and strictures on his conduct ought not be passed I Is I I much better for all concerned that he was here than to have had some gruff I I regular soldier whose only object would have been to get through with the work and rejoin his command as quickly ad possible Lieutenant Wells has looked after the comfort of the men in more ways than one and many a comfort has been provided at his suggestion which might have been overlooked MAY MOVE OUT SUNDAY When will the boys get away Tat is the question which is agitating the members of the volunteers a great deal Rations will be issued this morning for four days which will last them until Sunday I is presumed the troops will move before that time or by that time The governor received a telegram yesterday yes-terday asking when they would be ready and replied as soon as equipped However an understanding prevailed around the camp yesterday to the effect ef-fect that it was possible the equipment might be issued at San Francisco That the boys will go soon is confidently confident-ly expected A GOOD SUGGESTION Captain Young asked The Herald to make the following excellent suggestion sugges-tion There are in this city many owners of excellent teams A large number of them are doing nothing and if they will bring them to the fort there is plenty of forage and grain for them The government nor the state does not provide any money for teams for drilling here and horses are badly wanted Twentytwo horses for platoon drill would come in handy and the work would be very light If citizens wish to embrace this opportunity for three or four days it will be appreciated appreci-ated The men need a little drill in mounted work and this will give them a chance Mount Pleasant raised 235 for the volunteers there The number of men is two Citizens of Mount Pleasant were at the camp yesterday looking after the comfort of the boys As soon as the fact of this purse being in existence ex-istence was known there was a rush both among officers and men to be listed as having enlisted from Mount Pleasant The action of Z C 1 1 in donating 100 worth of supplies for the use of the troops came in handy yesterday I added many good things to the table Other firms following suit will earn the everlasting gratitude of the boys who are going from us THE KODAK FIEND Yesterday was kodak kodet adlake photake premo kombl and several other kinds of days at the camp Had I the picture instruments been guns there would be more applications for pensions filed today than the pension Department could handle Everyone was shot at The enemy fired at squads sections platoons batteries and battalions bat-talions Soldiers were shot standing up and sitting down in their tents and out of them Developer and fixing solution so-lution will be in demand today First Sergeant Ethan Allen a descendant de-scendant of the man who demanded Tlconderoga In the name of the Great Jehovah and the continental congress was captured and placed in a corner and told to look pleasant while an amateur took him frontways sideways endways crossways and all ways The sergeant bore i with fortitude however I could how-ever and looked a pleasant as he SMITH GETS A HORSE I Lieutenant Benner X Smith endeared himself to the hearts of all callers at his tent by producing a box of Ha vanas He said he had tried to get Manilas but no ship had returned from Dewey as yet Benner was yesterday presented with a handsome charger by W H Irvine and is now all ready for the front Beginning with this morning the cavalry will begin to drill in wi good earnest ear-nest and it is expected they will make a good showing now that all matters of membership have been settled IVES COBB PROMOTED Ives E Cobb was promoted to sergeant ser-geant yesterday This is due in a measure to the personal appearance of the sergeant to the character of his I sesses handwriting and the ability he pos I NOTES OF THE GUARD A company will today petition the governor to order an election for officers cers Captain Andrew Smith inspector of target practice has his name on the board for membership in the company com-pany The troop has ceased to drill and will doubtless go to pieces I D company is recruiting and is making a good showing Captain AlI Al-I vord is holding the men together all I right The infantry boys expect a call before the fun is over CLAIMS UNFAIR TREATMENT George Bult a robust patriotic young man of this city is one of eleven volunteers vol-unteers who are giving expression to a respectful yet emphatic protest against their apparently arbitrary and summary sum-mary dismissal from the military service I ser-vice Mr Bult resigned a lucrative position po-sition and tendered his services to the recruiting officers at the armory He I was the seventyfifth man to enlist passed a satisfactory physical examination examin-ation and was accepted He responded to the rendezvous call and was at Camp Kent five days during which time he again underwent and passed another rigid examination exainaton at the hands of the medical and recruiting officers I Just prior to the muster in Mr Bult with others was transferred from Bat I tery A to Battery B To his astonishment astonish-ment himself and Ray Pratt were dropped out and W H Fames and Theodore Cleghorn both of whom had been previously rejected were put in the places of the two accepted recruits Both Fames and Cleghorn were National Na-tional guardsmen Mr Bult says that Pratt made a good talk and was accepted cepted for the cavalry service while he and nine others who possessed the required merits were dropped in the transfer The only reason that Mr Bult docs not charge favoritism in the recruiting and mustering in of the Utah volunteers is that he holds a certificate I cer-tificate from Captain Grant showing that there being no more men needed George Bult is honorably released from j undertaking any duty However the complainant dutY ardor has met With such rebuffs alleges that Captain Cap-tain Grat did not make out the discharge I dis-charge certificate in the satisfactory terms directed by the senior captain M Bult alleges that he is unfortunate unfortu-nate In not having any influential relatives rela-tives and friends and he is for that reason aU the more anxious to know why at he last moment he and others oth-ers who stood all the tests as the records rec-ords show were displaced for rejected recruits May Get Another Troop I is possible that Utah may have a chance to enlist another troop of roughriders rough-riders I appears that Wyoming is having a little troubl in getting her complement for this service John Q Cannon hearing of this telegraphed Colonel Torrey to the effect that Utah could recruit another troop as well a accepted not and it may be the offer will be I J |
