Captain Jennings of battery c yes
terday secured six recruits for the bat
terry in this city, which will be all that
will be taken for a time. He goes to

effort to enlist some of the desirable

officer to come along and swear
them in.
The names of the men enlisted here

Guard of Utah; Louis WOLF, Alfred Wi
gren, Ray A. Young, Albert c. Allen

RECRUITING AT BEAVER.
The following special telegram to The
Herald was received yesterday:
Beaver, Utah, July Captain Sta
cey of the National Guard of Utah,
and recruiting officer for the second
call for volunteers, with DR.. Mel, from
Richfield, arrived here early in the af-
ternoon, coming per request of Gov
ernor Wells. His uniform and asso-
ciates attracted considerable attention,
and at p. m. several dynamite shots
announced the rally at the court house.
which was filed to its utmost capacity
an hour later.
Major Frank Farnsworth called the
meeting to order and proceeded in few
remarks to state the object of the
meeting. He was followed by ]. Frank
Tilton, in a 15-minute patriotic speech,
which was vigorously applauded. Will
liam White, editor of the Beaver Blade,
received cheers for his recital of the
causes and justice of the present con-
flict, and his graphic recital of Span
ish nlisrule in Cuba, the Philippines;
her national treachery and her certain
and deserved downfall. He was fol-
lowed by other prominent citizens, and
then Captain Stacey surprised the au-
dience by his eloquence and patriotic
fervor of address. He called for vol
unteers and instantly responded Mr..
Christians fourth son. Grey, who Ft-
tains his majority Monday morning.
Walter S. Tolton, the city clerk and
first counsellor to Bishop Mumford, re-
Gently returned from a mission to the
southern states, was next. The sons
Of Thomas Frazer and Thomas Cart
wright old residents and pioneers,
were next. This created a wave of eX
element Captain Stacey explained
that the recruits would be expected to
report in Salt Lake Tuesday night The
men were examined soon after, Walter
Tolton and Gay Christian being re-
jected. Joseph Shaw, who served four
years in the regular army at Fort
Keogh and other points during the In
dian wars, enlisted and was passed
and with the oldest son of Cunningham
Mathews made six from Beaver &C
cepted. Mr.. Shaw is assured of a COM
mission before leaving for the Philip
pines. (This must mean a warrant as
there will be but three commissioned
officers in the battery. Shaw will
doubtless be made a non-commission-
ed officer) Captain Stacey leaves for
Adamsville and Minersville early to-
morrow, where lie will hold rallies for
volunteers, as also at Milford, Frisco
and other points. He expects TO leave
for Salt Lake tomorrow evening with
an enrolment of % from this county.
There are four others who are anxious
to enlist who are out in the mountains
with fishing parties.
