State militia. numbering 1000 men, in
camp near Covington. - on the verge Of
mutiny. Officers and men are dIsgusted,
Ill fed. tired out and anxious TO get away
from what they really consider a death
hole and an awful place
There are frequent Quarreis and petty
jealousies and several cases OF absolute
refusal OF the officers and the men to obey
orders.
Supplies have been irregular and the
food so badly served that in many cases
the men who have the means have been
forced TO so o::tside the ranks to get
something Fit to eat.
Incessant rains since the State en-
campment opened one week ago have
made the camp a veritable bog. most OF
the tents being in slush.
Governor Newton G. Blanchard and his
military staff reached the camp last night
to be greeted with a petition from the
men to have the camp broken up and that
homes without being compelled to finish
out the time Of the encampmeut.
There Will be 4 whole bunch OF court
nlaStialS In the next few weeks. because
there are at least a dozen cases on rec

obey the orders of their officers AMI where
officers have refused 10 take out their
commands for drills and inspection when
