Arizona republican., 1903-06-10

All is excitement and fifty extra police are on guard. heavily armed. Nearly 1000 men are marching around town today. All saloons are closed tight and heavily guarded"
 There was considerable excitement in Phoenix within an hour after the order of the governor had been issued. Mem bers of company were notified as quickly as possible and> nearly all of them began to prepare to obey orders. Their first instructions were to report at the armory at7 D. m. to arrange for taking the train at 1 o'clock this morn ing. The ablebodied force of the com pany is thirty-six, but six of the mem bers cannot be reached except by wire. and they can be summoned later if needed. The thirty who could be i'm mediately summoned answered prompt ly and by o'clock their baggage and blankets were at the depot. By now they are presumably whirling toward Tucson. The chaplain of the company. Rev. Dr. Halsey. accompanies it.
 By dark the air was full of martial spirit and khaki uniforms fitted here and there. Though this happens every Thursday night, there was a different feeling when everybody knew the bugle call meant something more than pam tomime war. and the incidents of five wears ago were recalled, when half of Arizona was trying to break into the Spanish American war. While some or the militiamen would perhaps prefer to stay at home, they were ready to an swer the call of duty, and two young men who saw a prospect Of some real military service ahead walked up and enlisted They were William H. Sum mers and w. c. Gardner. Though there was no call for recruits, the com pany always wants to get good men and these two who recruited themselves were very gladly welcomed.
 Acting Governor Stoddard was busy man yesterday afternoon and last night. All afternoon the wires were hot and in the evening Acting Governor Stoddard united with other military officials and newspaper men in wire burning crusade. His greatest difficulty was in arranging for transportation and finding out of the proper equip ment was at hand. but by strenuous eff forts and telegraphing to Tucson, Pres cott and Yuma he got everything in or der by midnight.
 The officials who left here with Com pany B, beside Captain Lamson, com manding, and Colonel McClintock, were Major Coggins, retired. regimental ad- jutant, and First Lieutenant George Alkire. retired. regimental commissary, both having been Appointed to these positions permanently by Colonel Me Clintock yesterday. It was expected al- so that Captain C. w. Miller. retired. would board the train at Tempe. having been temporarily appointed regimental quartermaster. Captain Donaldson is the commanding officer of the Yuma company. and with him will also be Major Ingalls, of that city.
 The special train, unlike special ex- cursion trains. left promptly at the hour named and there were quite a number of friends, Of the departing soldiers present to bid them good bye and hope for their speedy and safe re- turn.
 The crowd owing to the midnight hour and the short notice was com posed mainly of the youth of the city. who did not belong to the company but who nevertheless have the martial in stinct.
 There is q general feeling that the strikers will have thought better of ; their unlawful demonstra tiOns and that everything will be quieted by the time the armed force arrives and they realize that above all things crder must and Will be preserved. But on the contrary the ordering out of the guard is no junketing trip and it is attended with the solemnity of serious business for serious business may confront the military. If the $500 men are armed as they are reported to be they could, were they to give themselves over to their passions, make a deal of trouble as they outnrmber three to one the combined force of the territory and the regulars stationed at Forts Grant and Huachuca. While the organized and disciplined men ought easily to worst them in a conflict, a conflict is the last thing anybody wants to see as 1t would most certainly result in somebody get ting hurt in a cause that all cannot but deplore.
