WILL FURNISH TWO TROOPS.


Utah wants to furnish two troops of
Torrey Rough Riders for the mounted
rifles instead OF one as originally al
loted to her. 1t is not improbable that
she may have that privilege. General
Cannon this afternoon telgraphed Col
Torrey that this State would take
great pleasure In raising an extra troop
of mounted rifemen.
The offer arose In this way: Utah
has a considerable number of men who
on hearing some time ago of Col. Tor
rey's intention to raise regiment of
rough riders volunteered theiI services
from this State. Later,on hearing that
Utah was to recruit a troop to be made
part of that regiment they became
anxious to join with that in
preference to any of the
wyoming troops. Now 1t seems
that there is shortage OF men for the
six Wyoming troops and the Utah vol
unteers are being telegraphed to and
urged to 90 to Wyoming and enlist.
This they are not DESTROYS of doing,
preferring to go from their own State
with men of their own acquaintance.
1t Is earnestly hoped by the Utah re-
cruits that Colonel Torrcy will be able
to see the force OF affairs as set forth
In General Cannon's telegram and as
sist IN securing permission
from the war department for
stead Of one, The change would occa-
sion no delay, as more than enough
volunteers have already proffered their
services.
