bers of the brigade for the reason that Cap

at the regular army rate for the time spent
in the field last July. 1t necessary for
Captain Parker to carefully examine every
detail of each pay roll and to submit many
doubtful questions to the accounting Off
GERS for decision. When the rolls had been
finally pronounced correct Captain Parker
disbursed the funds with celerity that was
exceedingly gratifying to all concerned.
