TACOMA, Nov. Especial. IA few members
OF Company G's rifle team INDUCED in a practice
shoot last sunday. The scores made were not
remarkable, but showed that with little
coaching and more practice quite a formidable
team could be made from this company.
Troop held its election Monday evening.
Lieutenant Ira Bamber was unanimously re-
elected treasurer and /. c. Webb secretary. The
reports showed the company to be in fine con-
dition and that much progress had been made
The weekly drills are well attended, and the
troop expect some lively events this winter.
A party of officers and military men were in
attendance at the Haines court-martial in
Olympia Thursday and Friday and much SYM
patty was expressed and hopes entertained that
the charges would be dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction.
The Mason Zouaves have taken a new grip on
life and intend making record second to none
in the country, as has been proposed in the mil
itary column of the Sunday PosT-INTELLI-
eESCER. The best drilled men of and G
companies have united and joined the Zouaves
aud will drill assiduously twice or three times
week. They will, in all probability, visit the
Worlds fair, aud continue their way East TO
New York after making a tour of the Eastern
States.
Captain Parsons, of the Zouaves, is rapidly
recovering the use of his arm which was broken
some time since.
Lieutenant Ross and Sergeant Wiesbach have
Joined the Zousves.
Captain Fife and Lieutenant Howell took in
AVON Yonson" together last evening.
1t is expected that al no distant day a com
pany OF National Cadets will be formed here.
