WILL ORGANIZE ON NATIONAL
GUARD BASIS

kins of Troop B, volunteer cavalry will
probably transform his command to the
National guard, taking the place of Com
pany I. Thus the company hopes to re-
ceive the next call to the front. Captain
Perkins has communicated with Adjutant
General Barrett, and was instructed to go
ahead and conform with certain provis-
ions, which he has since done. Tonight
the company met and voted to become Ma
tional guards. If all goes well In the car
rying out Of this plan the connection of the
troop with the Santa Barbara troop will
be severed.
The colored men who recently organized
o colored cavalry troop met tonight for
drill and the transaction of business.
Twenty-Five turned out. About thirty-five
have signed. The non-commissioned off,
GERS will probably be appointed next week.
Captain Thomas Johnson wishes to am
nounce to the colored citizens that Gov
crnor Budd has recognized Troop D for
the next call. Names should be sent to
the captain.
