W. o. w.

The competitive drill of the various
companies of the w. o. w. on Ninth
street at the convention hall yester
day evening attracted an immense
crowd of interested spectators, the
evolutions and accurate movements
of the competing teams being well
worthy of attention. Particularly
were they all interested in the drill
of their own home team, Company
G, 10Th regiment.
It was generally said among the
onlookers, they will have to get up
and hustle to beat that team Of
Woodmen;" which, without local
egotism, was entirely within the
bounds of truth.
Lieutenant C. n Feamster of the
U. s. regular army, Col. c. L. Math-
er of Omaha, Nebraska, adjutant
general, and Captain E. r. Waite,
Company G. Oklahoma National
Guard, acted as inspectors and judges
of the drill
Keen interest is manifested in
these contests as there is quite
sum of money to be distributed to
the winners. The home team, COM
pany G, 10th regiment, as well as 9th
ers, had their photographs taken in
single front face, their axes raised
and forming the letters wv. o. W., the
period between the initials being
formed by two Woodmen kneeling at
the period intervals. After the ma
neuvers on Ninth street the compa-
nies finished their maneuvers in the
