Although Company E has had place
on the muster rolls of the Montana
citizen soldiery ever since the militia
of the state had an organization, Com
pany E of the LIST Montana volunteers,
whose members returned to their homes
on last Monday and Tuesday with all
the pomp and glory that is deserving
to returning heroes, had it's inception
on April 80, 1898, when, in general or
der No. 6, Andrew Jensen, who had
resigned his commission of inspector
general of Montana, was appointed
captain of e company, list Montana in
fantry, vice Walter J. Crowell, who on
account of pressing business reasons
and the further fact that he had a
greater duty at home in the care of his
aged parents, had resigned the cap
taincy of Company T.. M. N. G.
The resignation of MI. CrowelI, and
the appointment of a man not a resi-
dent of Dillon caused a great deal Of
hard feeling among the militia men,
who would have done so had Captain
r. j. Moore, a cavalry officer of years
experience and who was the choice of
the entire company, had been appoint
ed captain. However, Captain Jensen
was not discouraged and Immediately
began recruiting his company Of volun-
teers. On Friday morning, May rs,
he had secured the following enlisted
men, who took the train for Butte:
Lieutenant f. j. Bird, r. W. Fielder,
Edward Spese, D. c. Hives, William Fl.
Dudley, Henry Keyser, Camas Nelson,
Andrew Ehrig, E. H. Boyd, Robert

George Yeigler, another Dillon boy,
joined the company in Butte, and w.
H. Wilton, a musician. also of this
place, became member of the COM
pany at San Francisco.
Fate was indeed kind to this COM
pany, for not a man was killed, al
though several including Captain Jen-
sen, received honorable wounds, that
received by the captain being the most
serious of any. One of it's members,
who left as sergeant-Charles H. Vir-
den-came back wearing the straps Of
a second lieutenant; and all have the
bearing and stride of veterans.
All of Beaverhead county is proud of
the record made by E company and
the reception Of yesterday, though
marred by the prevailing bad weather,
showed the boys the interest our cti-
zens have in their welfare.
With the exception of Few, whose
names have already been published,
the boys who enlisted from here have
returned to their homes hale and hearty
and are once more ready to take up
the battle of life in the same lines they
We're following when they responded to
their country's call and entered the
service of the nation.
