John S. Hoover OF Houston, who came
here rs fifth sergeant of the Light Guard
returned to his home last night. When the
company was examined last Sunday Mr.
Hoover was favorably passed on by the
two surgeons, who were conducting the
test, but an hour or so later was unfor-
tunate enough to fall into the hands Of
Dr. Wilcox, u s. A., who discovered
what he claimed was physical defect.
The result was that Mr.. Hoover was re-
jected, notwithstanding the fact that he is
magnificent specimen of physical excel
lence. He was one of the leaders in the
movement which resulted in the reorgan-
ization of the Light Guard, and he fesls
the disappointment of being unable to ac-
company his comrades more than words
can express. He was a great favorite with
the boys and they were all sorry to see
him go
The place made vacant by his departure
has been filled by the appointment of Cal
lilo Hutcheson.
