Chas E. Patten left are, Monday morn
ing, for their annual encampment with
the I'd regiment at Augusta They were
escorted to the depot by Company E.
Military Band and took the ~ so train
for Waterville where they went in,o
camp for the night at the Maine Central
fair grounds. On Tuesday they marched
to Vat lboro and the following morn
ing they completed their journey by
marching TO Augusta, reaching that city
about noon. The two days march and
the camping en- route was a new ex-
perience for Company but they found
it by no means disagreeable. All the
companies who attended the state mus
ter this year were required to make a
portion of the distance from their homes
in regular marching order.
During last week Captain Rice found
that quite a number of his men were not
making plans to go with the company,
and on Monday acting under authority
from Augusta, he sent out squad from
the armory with oaaeVs to bring in all
delinquents. The company goes to the
encampment without a 1st lieutenant
this year as this office has been recently
resigned by Edgar L Murphy. An
election will be ordered shortly after the
close of the encampment to fill this
vacancy.
