Capt. Thomas Dillon yesterday re-
ceived the following from Acjutant
General brennan:
Company commanders OF the LIST in
fantry, N. G. M. will at once cause to
De made an enrolment Of the members
OF their respective companies who will
for service of the United
States. For this purpose the regular
state muster roll will be used. The
maximum for a company Of infantry is
three ofhcers and 81 enlisted men,"
In compliance with the above. Com
pany X. or at least a part Of the CON-
pany met last night at the Auditorium
y opened the muster roll. Forty
ingness to go to the front. and the
names of these 43 were put on the list.
They will receive pay from noon FRI
day.
After the taking down of the names,
two hours OF drill was INDUCED in. The
BODY OF the old members of Company
Il were drilled In a company, while
three subordinate officers drilled the
raw recruits In their first movements.
There were nearly 100 people in the
nail who were seated along the walls,
ana who seemed to take quite an in
terest in the drill practice. Much ia
vorable comment was expressed at the
ability of Captain Dillon as a drill in
structor. but 1t seemed hat most of
the work had to be done by him, even
TO closing up the ranks. which is the
duty Of subordinate officers.
After drilling the green men for an
hour or SO, the recruits were placed in
the company ranks and drilled for an
other half hour. At the end Of the
drill Captain Dillon that
the company YOU assemble at the
Auditorium at 1880 o'clock in the
morning. and those who desired will
march to st. Paul's Catholic church.
where the holy sacrament will be ad-
ministered. A majority of the MEM
pers or the company are Catholics and
the whole number will probably march
to the church in a body. In the after
noon Captain Dillon will hold another
drill.
After h drill last night Captain
Dillon said that he would have no dif-
fculty i'm recruiting the company up
to the required number of 81. There
were several men on night shift. he
said. who would hav been present last
night. but as he nae only received his
orders late in the morning, he was un-
able to notify all of them. They will
be out to-day. however. when another
big addition is expected to be made to
- hOh' dIc ~ members IN
X. and of these IT is expect
ed that not more than six will remain
behind. These half dozen are anxious
TO go, but because they have large
families. they will probably not jojn
their comrades. All of the men, how
ever. have assured Captain Dillon that
they will go at a moments notice
should he have any difficulty in recruit
ing up to the required total. 1t is the |
understanding that none of the militia |
men will be compelled to go, u IL they |
go. they do so as volunteers. Captain |
Dillon resides at $40 East Park AVE. |
nue.. where any one DESTROYS of joining
the company may call upon him and
have his name enrolled.
Colonel Hallahan's list yesterday
reached a total of IS men, all of whom
are said to be of such excellent ply
steal proportions, that not one of them
will be disqualified. THE men on Colo
Hallahan's list. il IL understood.
will not join the local militia
but will go to the rendezvous at Hell
ena as a private body of men and will
be mustered into the service there.
Nothing. Of course. has been heard
as to when the volunteers will be called
to move. but Captain Dillon
thinks that Tuesday will see the COM
pany on the Dad for Helena. Many
Of those who applied for enlistment
yesterday were refused on account of
physical disqualifcations.
