cal stores and they are prepared to
deal with any kind OF case requiring
treatment.
Sergeant Mulligan, of Company B.
Second regiment, was the first man
who required treatment yesterday.
box of ammunition, which he was un-
loading from wagon, fell upon his left
arm and injured it slightly.
The second sick man was Private
Sinclair of Company l., Second regi-
rleIt, and the third was Private Clar-
ence Earle, of Company K, the same
regiment. Both We're suffering from
exhaustion. Sinclair tainted before the
men reached the grounds and had TO
be assisted along. He broke down
completely when he arrived at the en-
campment, and Dr. Caine sent him to
bed. He will return home He enlist
ed against the advice of his physician.
He cried like a child when he realized
that he could not stand campaign in
the field
The most exciting thing that hap
pened In the Second regiment camp
yesterday was the finding of set of
false teeth by one Of the privates. The
teeth We're in perfect state of preser-
walton, but the sex of the owner could
not be determined. They are awaiting
a claimant at regimental headquarters.
There was CONSERVATION among the
y
der came from the war department at
Washington announcing definitely that
a company shall consist of eighty-fOur
men including everybody. This pro-
vides for one captain, two lieutenants,
one first sergeant, one quartermaSter
sergeant, four duty sergeants, two mu-
SiclanS, twelve corporalS, one art1ficer,
one wagner and fifty-nine privates.
The regiments were ordered by the
state officials to recruit to d war foot
ing of 1O6 men to company, and they
have nearly all done So Some COM
panies have as many as $50 regular
members and recruits. The order
which was received by Gov. Clough
states that the United States govern
ment would pay for eighty four men
per company, dating from yesterday.
All above eighty-four will not only
have to return to their homes or enlist
elsewhere, but they may not get any
money for the time they have now
lost. The opinion prevails among the
officers that. as the men were called
out by a state order, the state is liable
for their pay. and that the state is
liable for the pay of every man over
the prescribed number until they are
formally rejected by the government.
The routine Of the encampment be-
gan last evening when guard was
mounted at the usual hour A strict
routine will be observed today and
henceforth
The officers were in despair yester-
day when they looked over the regi-
ments and realized the enormous work
in hand for the examining physicians.
Nothing definite is yet known as to
the number of doctors who will have
to examine the men for service, but all
agreed that there should be one doc
tor for each company in the camp. 1t
will take at least three weeks for the
present force of physicians to pass upon
the men in the brigade. AS rapidly as
the men are accepted they will be mus
tered into the service of the United
States. Then they must be drilled and
uniformed, and that will take more
time. The government must provide
uniforms and guns, besides other equip
ments which many recruits now lack.
There was a great deal Of unfavor-
able comment made yesterday regard
ing the confusion that prevails in the
camp. 1t will take several days for the
men to get matters Strengthened out.
