The official announcement OF the de-
tail Of companies for the new stations
has not been issued yet, but it may be
stated on very good authority that five
instead of four companies viii garrison
Fore Sherman. Company A viii go to
Boise barracks. companies B and E
to Fort Spokane. and companies c, d,
T, G, and H to Fort Sherman.
Boise barracks IN the town of Boise
City, Idaho, is not considered by
soldiers as good a station as the other
posts to which the Sixteenth will soon
60 The reason for this is that one
pay day night, several years ago, a
crowd of intoxicated soldiers from the
barracks went over to the capitol
grounds and removed the equestrian
Statue Of Washington, and carrying it
to he vicinity of the troop stables tied
me bronze horse TO the hitcGhing line
This was extremely funny to the boys
but it cost them the respect of the
citizens OF Boise who failed to see the
numor in that kind Of capture.
