viii &c Given Actual Ser
vice il the Claim.

Col. James A. McCalmont. assis-
tant adjutant general, in company
with Capt. r. l.. 0gburn OF the Dali
las Coast Artillery, we're here today
IL company with Lieutenant James
NJ Cumby of the waxahachie de-
tachment of the Dallas company per-
feeting ARRANGEMENT for the organi-
zation of the Waxahachie detach-
rent. Lieutenant Cumby has called
4 meeting of ell interested parties
to be held az the city hall on Satur-
day night for the purpose of enlist
n.ent. Unmarried men living within
radius of two miles of the city
are eligible 70 membership, and II
they will attend the meeting Satur-
day night Lieutenant Cumby viii
explain the plan of organization.
The Coast Artillery company, to
which the Waxahachie detachment
viii belong if organized. will make
up one of the nine units authorized
ty Governor Ferguson TO fill out the
quota of Texas National Guards,
whieh has already been called to
service at the border. OF is presum-
ed that the new companies will be
called on TO aid in the patrol work
LIT in event this is not done the
company will be equipped as infan-
try and will be entitled TO participate
in encampmeat training once each
year
Just now there are nine companies
in process of organization. Coast
artilleries are being organized at
Abilene, Dallas, Denison and Wichi-
Ia Falls. Engineering corps are
being organized at Port Arthur and
San Antonio, ambulance corps Is
| being organized at Brentwood and
| field artillery companies are being
organized at Fort Worth and San
Antonio. Dallas has already sent
two companies to the border lands
and upon request of local parties
it has been decided that detach-
ment of forty men for the coast ar
tillery company may be enlisted
here under First Lieutesant James
NJ Cumby.
| 1t is very probable that the coast
artillery company would after &
short training term be sent to ac
tual service in some of the coas
cities. Lieutenant Cumby hopes t.
be able TO enlist as many as forty
men here, but whatever is done
must be done within week from to-
day because federal authorities vii
examine the company on that day
and then it will be determined what
will be done with the company. Il
federalized they will be sent at once
to duty.
| There seems to be little doubt
that large force OF men will bt
needed at the Mexican front within
a short time and it is expected thai
each state will contribute its quota
Enlistment is going on rapidly
throughout the United States and il
there should be a general call foi
troops force 10000 strong would
be available within a few hours no
tice. Captain Ogburn, who is or.
| ganizing the company. said while
he could not promise immediate ser
vice to those who enlist he would
not make the attempt to organize
the company unless he was pretty
cepain that enlistment means ser
vice.

Snow stood as one of the great foot

ali-American end and n great piung-
Ing fallbaek. AS ball player he
batted over SEQ for Michigan his last
two years. and received at least three
good offers from big league clubs. He
was one of the best college first base
men that ever lived.
On the track Snow could high jump
around six feet. he could put the shot
forty five feet; no was a fine hurdier
Taking both quality and quantity, we
should say that Snow was the equal
