HALF CENTURY, AWAIT CLAIMANTS

The military records of Utah prior
TO the establishment of the national
guard in 1894 are being collected and
filed in a modern cabinet system by
Adjutant General Charles 5 Burton, in
which shape they viii form part of the
permanent files of the adjutaut gen
erals Office. Among the papers Of piO-
neer days were found q number of COM
missions of officers in the forces organ
lied to fight Indians given by Govern
0rs Charles Durkee and Brigham
Young in the period from 1850 TO 1850

whom they were made out, an effort is
being made to locate those who are
still alive or their immediate descend
ants in order that they may receive
these interesting souvenirs of former
service The commissions for the fol-
lowing named still await claimants:
