Mustered Out Last Night by Major

Fifty of the Members Sign the Roll for
New Company to Apply

Company a, Second Regiment of In
fantry, Fourth Brigade, National Guard
of California, is no more.
The company was mustered out of the
service with but little fornality at the
armory last evening by Major w. w.
Douglas of the Fourth Brigade staff.
When the company was called to order
the roll was called, and out of memb ber-
ship of tifty-siX men only thirty re-
sponded when their names were called.
A few of the mbers who were not
present when the roll was called came in
afterward.
Major Douglas then addressed the COM
pany. He said he had an unpleasant
duty to perform. Company A. one OF the
Oldest companies in the State, he said,
could look back with pride at it's past
history. OF all their achievements and
glory there was but one blemish on the
organization, and that was to be mus
tered out, for, according to military law,
failure to obey orders.
Major Douglas then read the order from
the COMMUNICATIVE Chief, and declared
Company A mustered out of the States
service.
Thus ended the company's existence as
part of the National Guard Captain
Lloyd then addressed the men. He said
the company owned 377 shares of stock
IN the Armory Hall Association AS to
the disposition of the stock, he did not
know what course to pursue. He will,
he said, seek legal advice to ascertain
whether 1t belongs to the State or the in
dlvlduals composing the late company.
Captain Lloyd stated he will not prob
ably enter the National Guard again.
Nl6< IL
should be mustered out. He said he
hoped that if the men join the
ranks again they will obey orders and
prove themselves loyal and efficient SOL
diers. He would do all in his power to
get the company back into the guard and
help TO maintain it as perfect organiza-
ton.
In reference to the banquet given the
other night, and the criticism it had re-
ceived, Captain Lloyd said there was no
harm in the rejoicing. Brave men, he
said, when about to die, rejoice. SO with
Company a.
Ex-Captain Fred Eisenminger narrated

ton In the httieS to the close of its career
