STAUNTON TROOPS
MAD AS HORNETS
Militiamen Thoroughly Exaspe-
rated by Delay in Receiving Pay
for Gettysburg Service.
6TAUNTON

6TAUNTON, VA.-Spectal.-Stau
ton military circles, including officers
and enlisted men alike, are up in arms
over the protracted delay on the part
OF the paYmaster general In sending
out the State pay for service at Gettys-
burg.
When a week passed and II was
given out that Colonel Consolvo was
still IN a quandary as to whether to
pay OF in cash or by check. the men
felt chafed over the delay, and now
that nearly a month has passed and
the mems money is still withheld, their
patience Is being tested to the ex-
treme and on all sides the militia
men are heard to express their in
dtgnation in no uncertain terms.
They declare it to be rather try
ing and eXasperating that the pay
master should at this late date give
out that II was no fault of his that
the money was not forthcoming. but
that the commanding officers were at
fault.
If this was the case. they say. the
paymaster should have long since dis
covered the alleged defects In the
pay rolls; In fact, when he was sought
Tor at Gettysburg for information in
regard 10 the making out Of the pay
rolls, he was nowhere to be found.
Staunton Is quite a military center
having about $50 men in service. with
First Regiment headquarters here and
the long delay in paying the men for
their service is hurting the militia no
little. Az
The men say they are willing to
bear with patience and soldierly for
bearance as long as the demand is
within reason, but they feel now that
patience has ceased to be a virtue and
rev OF them are slow to express their
IL gnation at the seemingly unrea-
sot. rle delay in receiving their
