MUSTERED In.
THE MILITIA OF UTAH GIVEN A
FAIR START.
Two Companies of infantry and
One of Artillery Are Now the
Standing Army The Officers
Elected.


commander in chief, Adjutant General
Ottinger, Surgeon General Fowler and
Colonel n. w. Clayton were at Sand
berg's hall to overlook the mastering
in of the two companies of infantry
and one of light artillery that had
come to the fore in this city. The hall
presented a busting scene for about
two hours after that, as there was a
great deal of excitement among the
boys who are tying themselves down
for three years.
The Denhalter rifles and Norden
military company were mustered III at
the same time and it is yet to be de-
termined which is the senior company
of the two. This point is one very
much at issue and the boys are very
much worried over it. The company
of light artillery was taken in and will
become battery A, it's officers outrank-
ing all others. of similar grades in the
territory The Denhalters presented
the greatest show of young faces,
there being few members who can
boast the experience of twenty-five
years. The Nordens, as a general rule,
were much older. The artillerymen
were nearly all middle aged.
