PRIVATE BRAD. THOMPSON.
One of the crack companies of the
First is Company B. 1t is made up of
the old City Guard, a company famous
for the men who have turned out from
its ranks. In the old days the City
Guard, says a San Francisco writer,
was noted for its hospitality and for
its social functions.
When war was declared many of
the old-timers FASTENED to enlist in
their old company. In the ranks are
some swell fellows. and the company
has already been dubbed Dandy B.
Bradford Thompson is one Of those
who enlisted when trOublOus times
came. and he is now in quarters on
the Picking. In the exclusive circles
of society no man was better known
than Brad" Thompson. In all cir
cIes no man was better liked. He is
a Marylander by birth and came west
many years ago. He was Immediately
taken up by the best of society and
soon became one of its favOrites.
