The Nebraska National Guard is as.
sured of its old srmory. The Thomas
Cusack company, who are lesses Of the
property. which was partially destroyed
by fire April "a. have assured Lieutenant
Colonel William J. Baehr, commanding
the Omaha battalion. that they will re.
place the armory in sixty days.
The work Of repairing the building,
located on Twentieth and Harvey streets,
has already begun and will be pushed
rapidly to completion. The fire COM
pletely destroyed the home OF the troops
and not a relic or a rifle was saved
The replacing Of the armory is received
with joyful optimism by the officers OF
the guard. II was felt for some time the
men would be forced TO disband.
1T will cost us about 1900 to refurnisi
the new quarters" said Baehr yesterday,
and with this We can go on nearly the
same as before. This 1900 We will have
TO dig up out Of our pockets. as we have
already used our last years allotment.
TO re-equlp the armory for the four
companies will cost approximately sls,5Oo.
which will be had from the government
next month. We have TO take this large
amount from the total allotment of the
yearly appropriation of S32OOo allowed

AS far as the four companies here
are commemorative Thurston Rifles. the
Home Guard. the Dahlman Rifles and
Company Eve will be amply supplied
