hundred and four men were brought
into Albuquerque, two places having
been reserved, one for San Marcia
boy, who left this city with the con-
pany, and the other for a man from
Captain Mitchell's own former con-
pauy.
The officers are Judge A. B. Fall
captain: DIR. @. q. Cruickshank, frs
lieutenant; N. E. Bailey, second lieu
tenant. They are all splendid men fo'
their positions and are exceedingl!
popular with the men.
Judge Fall of Las Cruces is known o
one of the brightest lawyers, as well
as one of the most influential demo.
Gratis in the southwest. He has filled
many high public positions and eHrj
with the greatest ability. Thoug.
not 30 years of age he has an acknow-
lodged reputation as lea Ter of men,
and is known to be absolutely without
fear.
DIR. G. G. Cruickshaak, the popular
San Msrcisl physician, is one of the
best known men in the territory. He
was an applicant for the assistant
surgeonship OF the regiment, but was
reserved for lieutenantcy.
N. E. Bailey, who had the honor of
raising more than half of the men of
the company, has been for several
years ticket agent at the Santa Fe Pa
cific station at Deming. His popular
been better proven than by the ready
manner in which his call for volunteers
was responded to.
The orderly sergeant of the company
is j. S. Bagley. The qusrtermaster
sergeant is A. B. Ausherman, an old
man. The line sergeants
are A. E. Lsflin, Chas. Campbell, Muir
ray Colgin and J. G. Moore.
The men make splendid appearance
and their officers speak most highly of
them. Judge Fall says he fears no
for honors. Governor
Otero, Ma Or Mitchell and DR.. Smith
are also very eulogistic.
