, WILL GUARD THE RECRUITS.
Eleven soldiers. consisting of lieu
, tenant. a sergeant. corporal and eigh
privates. came in on the G.. H. thi:
morning and will remain in Ell PasC
until the train load of recruits

pines. reach this place Lieutenant l.
+. Schindel, of company X, First Uni

These men were ordered to Kansas
City to join the large party of recruits,

come through Kansas City and so they
missed them. Then the lieutenant and

train. consisting of eleven coaches and
containing about 400 soldiers. left
Houston this morning at 8 o'clock and
will reach here tomorrow night. They
had heard nothing of the reported mu-
tiny, until they reached Ell Paso and
think that the truth of the matter is
that some of the recruits got drunk
at Ennis and were having such a good
time that they didn't want to leave
when the time came. 1t is reported
that some of them were tied to the car
seats to keep them from leaving the
train.
