Dissatisfaction Shown Concerning the
Selection of Recruits.

--SS$@
SpringviIle, May 9.-The Springville
volunteers are growing a great deal
today over what they consider unfair
treatment by the state authorities in
the manner of mastering in recruits.
They also claim that the country towns
are being Disseminated against in IA
vor of Salt Lake City. A meeting is
called for tonight, at which to con-
slider the sending of a protest to the
governor The boys assert that the
men recruited first should be given an
opportunity Of passing muster ahead of
those enlisting later. They claim that
this is not being done, but that men
who have been enlisted within the past
few days at Salt Lake are being given
precedence over those enlisted in the
country towns ten days since. Samuel
Dollin, of this city, has been ordered to
report at Salt Lake City for mastering
into the cavalry arm. The friends of
Stanley Stain, Frank Harmer, Aver
Humphrey and Will Upton are pleased
that those lads were accepted by the
state. With Don c. Johnson, enlisted
at Salt Lake, this makes five Spring
vile lads in the service, and if Dallin
is accepted this city will have furnished
six.
