Third regiment. Captain A. f.
Otto will have charge of the com.
pany and will be assisted by first
lieutenant Hillary; second lieutenant
Kelley; first sergeant Cell; and
quartermaster Erickson.
The men will arrive in camp Mon
day, June 10, and will remain for
ten days, the local company return
ing one week from the following
Thursday. Most of the time in
camp will be spent on rifle practice
and extended order drills for ,battal-
ions and regiment. The officers
take it for granted that the men
have been taught the regular com.
pany drills. Each battalion will have
practice march from the afternoon
of one day to the forenoon of the
next
Two uniforms will be taken to
camp by each man. The olive drab
service uniform will be worn to
camp and return. While in camp,
khaki uniforms coats and caps will
be worn. Men are urged to see that
the caps are not mashed in packing.
Company baggage is to be packed
in boxes with not more than ESQ
pounds to the box.
The camp will be laid out as a
city with regular streets and avenues.
Mail should be addressed to the men
by the company letter, regimental
number, Camp Lakeview, Lake City,
Minnesota. Certain staples, such as
coffee, sugar, potatoes, beans, and
canned goods, are furnished by
the regimental commissary and the
regimental ouartermaster will furnish
straw for filling the bed ticks.
AS the junior regiment in the
guard, the Third regiment was not
given much choice as to the date it
should 20 into camp. The First
and Second regiments chose to camp
in July so that the Third had to go
in August or June. AS most of the
men will be busy with the harvest in
August, June was chosen as the
better month.
Since the Dick bill has gone into
effect, all men of the company have
to go to camp or spend the ten days
that the others are gone under the
direct care of Sheriff Hazen. All
men are expected to turn out to the
drill Wednesday night and make the
preliminary arrangements necessary
before Sunday.
On the way down, men will be
stationed at the doors of the cars to
see that all possible prevention is
taken against accidents. All morn
ing reports of the officers are to be
turned in to the regimental adjustant
before leaving Red Wing. All men,
except the old guard and the
kitchen details, must turn out to all
camp drills. The men will be under
strict military discipline while in
camp and infractions of rules will be
punished with guard house sentences.
