a. The assertions made, which were dis
tor,ed beyond recognition az based upon
what actually was said by COL S ern st
the inspection. Col Stern made absO.
lu,ely 10 statement cri,icisng any Of
6cer and complimented the drill and sp-
pearance OF the company, every member
being absolutely correctly equipped, ex-
cen, oge mao who was a recruit, who
had IN tan shoes instead of black. he
did call attention to the srmory ho'r
being poorly swept. which was due to
the fact that the Red Mems Autumn
Festival was only removed from the hall
the day OF the inspection, and the man
who swept the hall that evening had not
made a good JOB Of it Capt. Slsymsksr
sa,d further, that while 1t is true that
O1srtermsster Sergeant @. M. Shep-
person has asked for his discharge, the
reoaest Was made while the company
was 10 camp at Colonial Bssch last
mouth, to take effect after the inspection,
sud the request Was based on personal
business reasons, and while he will ask
TO- the discharge as requested by Ser
gesnt SheppersoD, it will be an honor
,ile one, as the sergeant has made the
wost efficient qusrtermaster the company
has had in his experience since the
spanish wa. The statement that Ool.
sierra is uniavorably inclined toward the
company is without any foundation, as
be has expressed pleasure at the hue
personnel OF the company, aud when the
command was getting organized last
summer, he pushed through the military
board at Richmond two unusual appro-
priatioos to aid in getting the company
properly equipped.
