What Ia Being Tall ed About-Tbe Trouble
I'm the First Regiment.

II is thought by many who are familiar
with the trouble in the First Regiment
that Colonel Henry G. Jones will ignore
the request made by four Of the six cap
tains present at recent meeting ana
will continue as commander of the regl-
mcnt. He is said to be DESTROYS to await
the result of the court of inquiry which
the Governor will probably appoint with
in the next few days.
The assertion published recently in one
OF the daily papers to the effect that it
was intended 10 induce the Blues 10 come
into the regiment is being denounced as
utterly absurd by the members Of the
Blues Battalion and their friends. and ii
IS rather stated that that organization
would agree TO disband before its mem
bers should become a part of the reg-
mont.
