Members OF George v. Jenkins
camp. Spanish-American war veter-
ans are getting the fever. They
want to get back into the harness and
wear uniform again and know the
feel Of gun on their shoulders. In
fact it looks very much like the camp
ds going to recruit second Iowa
national guard company from its own
ranks for this city. Plans are being
discussed here now about the form
alton OF another company and at
least dozen members OF the local
company have said that they would
like to enter the second squad. The
age limit is from eighteen years 10
forty-five years, for prfvates and no
limitations for officers. This means
that practically all members of the
Spanish war camp could become ma
tional guard members.
Recruiting tor Company L Is going
on each evening at the armory and
new members are being received in
to the company. In the past a num-
her Of recruits have been turned down
because they could not get the per-
mission of their parents to Join the
company. This has been felt to some
extent, because It is mostly the young
er men who want to join.

thought they was goin' to get us.
They hadn't stopped for anything, and
their yell was enough to make your
heart freeze. Did you ever hear the
rebel yell? 1t sounded just like

was completed on the eighteenth OF
the following March. The number re-
buried was thirty-ive hundred and
seventy-five. This does not mean that
even half the dead were found, for the
whole field was dotted with graves,
In reinterring the bodies in the ceme-
terry every effort was made to discover
the identity of the men and this In
many cases was done and the relatives
of the dead soldier had his remains
taken home, the Identification being

body. An entry of each article found
was made. These things are kept and
numbered to correspond with the num-
ber of the gravestone of him upon
whose body the articles were found.
The following is an example of the
record:
