Of the union depot carrying Battery

Col. Hartley and Adjt Gen. Muehl-

BUSTLE AT THE ARMORY.
The scenes in the armory late last
night were exciting. The building was
filled with members of Battery and
friends Of the men all anxiously pre-
pairing to go to the scenes of the In
ctr
fire bell, repeated three times, had
warned number of the men that they
were wanted, but many thought it was
only a fire alarm and did not asso-
ciate it with the call for troops. Capt.
Larson and Lieut.. Groh were among
the first to appreciate it's significance,
and they promptly responded. They
found Janitor Wiley already there, and
they sent him to summon as many of
the men as he could find AS soon as
the first ones arrived they were sent
on horseback and in cabs to bring the
boys to the armory
In very few moments the armory
was filled with men busily donning
their uniforms and buckling on their
sabers. Among all there was a feeling
of gladness that they were at last to
have 8 chance to show their fighting
qualities. They readily forgave the
government for not sending them to
the Spanish war, for they saw a big
ger fight in prospect than Santiago.
| Sergeant Major Keller was upstairs
| sending kilograms to men in distant
| parts Of the city.
The Gatling gun in the drill room
never was regarded with as much af-
fectior by the men as it was when they
| gathered about it and discussed the
| chances of wiping the Indians off the
face Of the earth. There was not a
| rifle in the armory, but the men were
told there would be 100 Of them at the
police station headquarters
Each man, as soon as he arrived at
the armory, got out his accouterments,
blankets, kaversacks and canteens. The
men were jubilant when they heard
that they would start to the front at 5
o'clock.
Capt. Dorsey, Of the Fourteenth regi-
ment, went to the governor last night
and asked permission to go with the
battery. The permission was given
and there was no happier man in the
outfit than the surgeon
The mayor yesterday placed at the
| command Of the state officials all of
the arms and ammunition that is kept
| by the administration at the central
station. Adjt Gen. Nuremberg called
on Mayor Kiefer yesterday and told
| him that possibly it would be necessary
| to send armed citizens to the seat of
the Indian trouble. He said that he
would like to know if he could have
the use of the arms that the city had
and was told that he might have what
ever there was. He was informed that
there was in the city armory at the
station $50 rifles and LOCO rounds Of
ammunition. The rifles were supplied
| to the battery.
