Lieuts. Lahman and Reynolds and
seventeen members of Co. II arrived
home from Calumet. 1t is uncertain
when the remainder of the Company

enjoyed their trip, the duty imposed
and the experience, the boys are all
pleased to be home again.

The men to stay were selected by
Capt. Evans after a consultation
with the officers of Company B,
Third Infantry, of Bay City. The
two organizations will be consOlidat-
ed, and of course two first sergeants
two quartermaster sergeants and
more than two cooks were not de-
sired. 1t SO happened that the two
ranking sergeants and the two cooks
of the Owosso company wanted to go
home, and the Bay City men in cor
responding positions were held.
Capt. Evans chose the soldiers to 60
home who have jobs about which
they are worrying, or married men.
Seven of those who are staying vol
unteered to do so, while the others
had to be detailed. They took the
assignment without grumbling, sat-
isfied that they will be released
within few days. q
The two Owosso leutenants, Lah-
mann and Reynolds, felt that they
must go home, and as Lieuts. Will
son and Griffith were willing to stay
they were excused. Both Capt. Mo
Cormick of Bay City and Capt. Ev-
ans of Owosso tried to dodge the
governing of the consolidated COM
pany, but Mccormick made out the
best case, and Evans was ordered by
Col. Boucher to remain. Capt. Nc
Cormick is prosecuting attorney of
Bay county, and has number Of
criminal cases coming up at the
next term Of the circuit court for
which it is necessary that he prepare
When this phase was put up to Capt.
Evans, he yielded.
There will be no change particul-
arly in the tenting arrangements.
The two company streets will re-
main undisturbed; there will simply
be fewer in each tent. Capt. Evans
will remain in his own quarters, and
the Bay City lieutenants will join
him, since he has a stove and cleo
trio lights in his pyramidal canvas,
and they have no such conveniences
1t has been so cold the past few
nights that the officers and men
sleeping in unheated tents have sur
fered considerably. The Company
H men have a supply Of both wood
and coal, and so have been very COM
Portable.
Every sign points TO a failure OF
the strike, without bloodshed,
though this dope may be overturn-
ed at any time. Shrewd observers
believe the strike was lost when G.
F.. Mahoney, the leader from the
Western Federation OF Miners, fail
ed to stampede Gov. Ferris into
sending home the troops within
few DAYS after their arrival. 1t is
said that when Mahoney came back
here he reported the strike would go
against them. His imprisoned de-
claration that he was going into ev-
ery corner of the United States to
raise strike funds was, 1t is asserted,
