Death of Captain KcIlow.

VI hSHoN.
The regiment suffered great loss by
the death of Captain William Kellow
His place as captain of Company B
cannot readily be filled by a man who
can bring himself as closely in touch
with the men as he did. Captain Kel-
lows successor has not been named
or even suggested. Adjutant Minar
will, no doubt, be looked upon as first
choice, inasmuch as he is an ex-B
officer. but he has pledged himself to
Colonel Coursen, should he Coursem
agree to become successor to Colonel
Ripple.
Directly following the death of our
senior captain came the announcement
that Colonel Ripple. being hard pressed
for time by business interests, was COM
PEELED TO ask for his discharge from the
office Of colonel of the regiment.
Colonel Ripple's resignation Is not
the result of hasty impulse. 1t was
agreed tn when he was reelected to
the command that should he at any
time find that his duties as colonel be-
come too burdensome. his resignation
would be accepted without resistance.
We must console our feelings by the
fact, however, that the Guard will
not lose him altogether. The position
of Commissary General on Governor
Hastings staff Is one of vast import
ance, coupled with honor. Colonel
Ripple, by his perseverance, tact and all
generous nature, has endeared himself
to the boys as few men could have done,
and his interest in the regiment will
not, we are sure. grow less, by reason
of his retirement.
