A Cosby Column About the
Tin Soldiers.
A Good Showing Made at the
Targets.
Lieutenant-C Colonel Cutters Report to
Be Protested.
A COurt-MartiaI Ordered for This Week.

tics-Events for the
Future.

The report OF Division Inspector Cut
ler still rankles in the breasts of the
guardsmen hereabouts and mention of
that remarkable effort OF the gentlemen
from the north, is sufficient to set the
boys going on an argument.
But from reports the matter is not
going to end in talk. 1t is said that the
officers OF the first brigade are seriously
contemplating meeting for the purpose
of framing protest to the commander
in-chief, ,and at the same time petitjoning
that he twill not let it occur again"
The officers still decline to be inter
viewed on the subject, but their silence
is indica of some tall thinking.

The semi-annual target practice is
about concluded. The scores made were

shooting like fiends, the percentage of
Company D, of Pomona, being 63, and
G, of Riverside, $3.50. The San Bernar-
dino company shoots today and is ex-
pected to tie Pomona.

A courtmartial will be ordered this
week to try several members of Compa-
MES @ and + for non-attendance at
drills. There is determination among
the officers to bring the delinquents to
time, and any one who has not sufficient
company pride to attend to his duties
will be dishonorably discharged from the
service. 1t is time such move was
made against these offenders, who are
not of the slightest use to the organiza-
tions in which they claim membership.
Company B, of Pasadena, will hold an
election Monday evening, October 5th,
for captain and first lieutenant to fill
the vacancies caused by the resignation
of Captain Hamilton and Lieutenant
Campbell. Second Lieutenant Baugham
will likely be chosen to the captaincy,
he being the only candidate announced.
The first lieutenancy lies between Ser
geants Buchanan and Sutliffe. Sergeant
Cook and Corporal Coleman are the can
didates for the second lieutenancy.
at last the adjutant generals Office
has aroused itself and sent down the
commissions for Company F's officers.
The election was held June 18th and the
report Immediately forwarded to head
quarters and all attempts to get the
commissions in time for camp were sat
down upon and requests for the same
ignored.

Colonel Schneider has inaugurated a
squad drill for officers and non-commis-
stoned officers, and will put them
through their PAGES every Friday night.
In this way come very good results
will undoubtedly be accomplished.
Unfortunately the outside companies
will not have the benefit of this school,
but the colonel purposes to visit each
company in turn as frequently as he
can and give them an overhauling.

Captain Ducoe and Lieutenants Mus
colt and Allison, of Company E, Ninth
regiment, were in the city last week for
examination by the brigade examining
board. The recently elected officers OF
Company A, of the naval battalion,
were also up from San Diego, and took
their examination.
**#
Company A had only thirteen alb
sentees at target practice. Twenty-Five
members of this company have per-
centage of 100 for attendance at drills
for the year ending August 3lst, and
only seven men carried on the roster
have less than go per cent. to their
credit. The example set by the mem
bers of this company is worthy of emu
lation.
