Second Regiment

When John Buschers, the newly
elected colonel of the Second Regi-
ment, visited with the Third regi,
ment at Lake City last Saturday, he
was informed by Adjutant General
Fred B. Wood that his election was
being contested on the ground that
the officers of the Machine Gun
company had no legal right to par,
ticipate in the election of the field
officers, says The New Ulm Review.
Just how the election contest, If
it develops into that, will be dis
posed of it is hard to tell, because
this is something entirely new and
no one seems to know what the ma
ture of the procedure should be. AS
far as Colonel Buschers has been
able to find out, the matter is to
be threshed out before the attorney
general.
Colonel Buschers has filed with
the adjutant general the following
list of appointments: Adjutant, Cap,
tain Louis G. Vogel; quartermaster,
Captain Walter Rosenwald of Red
wing, formerly of Madison; commits
sary, Captain Frank Hubbard OF
Excelsior; inspector of small arms

c. Clemens of Duluth; medical staff,
Major ]. H. Dorsey of Glencoe, Cap
tain Merrill of Amboy, Lieutenant
Rumpf of Faribault.
The battalion adjutants will be
appointed upon recommendation of
the respective majors.
