cAvALRYMEN KICKING
Money Appropriated for Horse Hire
Has Not Yet Materialized

The members of Troop D and the Sig
nal corps, N. G. Co., feel themselves
agrieved. When the cavalrymen went
into camp it was understood that each of
them was to receive 81 per diem for horse
hire and that $1.25 was to be put aside for
each mans food. At the last moment
the horse fund was cut down to 81 per
diem, to be paid on the last day Of the
camp. Most Of the men hired saddle
horses from the livery stables the ami
mails to be paid for out of the allowance
made to the militia.
The men complain that none of them
have received their money for horse hire,
though every other bill, except those. for
the Signal corps, has been settled. More
over, the cavalrymen say that, though
$1.25 was appropriated for each mans
daily food, the provender was so inferior
that rs cents would fully cover the daily
allowance. Though application has been
made at each regular meeting, the cash
has not yet materialized.
General c. F. A. Last was seen yester-
day, and said that the money for the
troop had not yet arrived from Sacra :
mehto. When it did, each man would
receive his share. What the cavalrymen
are objecting to, however, is the fact
that they alone, out of the whole bat
talon, were made to wait.
