The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-21

Sergeant H. A. Gregg, Of Company L,
the st. Paul Sons Of Veterans COM
pany, opened up recruiting office in
room JIG Of the state capitol building
yesterday, being the first Of the detail
from the Twelfth Minnesota to arrive
in st. Paul.
With the exception Of Company l., Of
st. Paul, all the Twelfth Minnesota
regiment companies are situated in
towns outside the Twin Cities. De-
spite this fact, st. Paul people will
probably have chance to see the en-
tire 300 in the city before they leave,
as the official instructions direct that
the troops be assembled in st. Paul.
This is the base Of supplies.
Although little has been heard from
any Of the recruiting parties in the
state, the action Of Lieut.. Rensberger
in sending Sergeant Gregg to st. Paul
in advance indicates that they expect
to be through in few days..
Sergeant Gregg received letter from
one of the officers yesterday, saying
that they had met with good success,
and the people were very proud and
enthusiastic over the record made by
the Twelfth, and they stood ready to
Go anything which would further the
best interests Of the Twelfth Minnesota.
Lieut.. Rensberger is now at Fair
mont. From there he will go to
Spring Valley, thence to Waseca, and
to St. Paul with his seventy-five men.
Capt. Gallian has just finished the
two Winona companies, and will leave
tonight for st. James, going thence to
New Ulm, after which he will come to
ST. Paul with his men.
Lieut.. Day is at Albert Lea looking
after the companies in that vicinity.
Capt. Gallian and his men may ar
rive here before all of the Fourteenth
lrac in1, hnin
cruited by Capt. Eva and Lieut.. En-
stad, get away.
Sergeant Gregg secured the follow
ing names yesterday:
George Lemke s,o0 West est Seventh street;
/ j. w. Philips, Litchheld.
Lawrence Braun, Litchfeld.
G. N Free Jr. Minneapolis
W. J. Morrell 491 Iglehart street
B. F. Gilkeson, 254 st. Anthony avenue.
H. W. Christjchn, Minneapolis.
Sergeant Gregg will continue the
work of recruiting today. 1t is not a
question of getting enough men, but
good strong physical men, not neces-
sarily Sons of Veterans.
When I first went South said Ser
geant Gregg yesterday at his office, II
was curious to know If the people Of
the South still chung to the old feeling
of the days of 81, and I found, after
a very short time, that they were won
! dering the same thing about us. The
!! North and the South are unit on the
war, and everywhere there is much pa
+! triotism evidenced by all classes of
| people, The Southerners have to a
certain extent, been imposed upon by
INSCRIPTIONS Northerners, who go
down there and misrepresent them
| selves. On the whole, however, the
! Southern people have treated US very
kindly, and we have only the best for
the people Of Georgia.
1.-THE Twelfth regiment is the pride
of the brigade, and too much cannot
| be said in its praise. In field maneu-
vers it can easily rival any Of the
crack Eastern regiments, and we are
very proud of the Twelfth Minnesota.
1 OF course 1 may be prejudiced, but I
! think that is the verdict of every man
/ who has seen the regiment
doing efficient work in the hospitals,
although we seldom see anything Of
them on the field
When asked if there was any feeling
among the boys Of the Twelfth that the
Thirteenth had been getting the lions
! share Of the glory and attention at
! the hands of the home people, Sergeant
! Gregg only shrugged his shoulders.
! Sergeant Gregg was notified by a
| delegation Of young ladies that they
were raising some funds for Company
! L boys. He told the ladies that the
company would appreciate this action,
| because, being a volunteer company,
i they had received no aid whatever, out
side of equipment
