COMPANY K
CALLED FOR
WAR SERVICE
PRESIDENT WILSON CALLS ON
MILITIA TO DEFEND MEXI-
CAN BORDER.
Boys Show True Patriotism and
Enlist Ready For Service
Anywhere.

Excitement has been running high
all week since the first news on Sun
day afternoon of the presidents de-
termincd stand against Mexico.
Orders were flashed from the
| United States War department to the
national guard headquarters Of each
state on Sunday and Adjt. General T.
II. Tharalson Of the N. d. N. G.. wired
the several state companies on Mon
day morning, Capt. c. N. Barker of
Company X receiving the following
message:
"1n compliance with War Depart
ment Orders, calling on governor to
mobilize national guard of this state,
you will assemble your organization
and recruit at once to minimum
strength. Steps will be taken to
furnish transportation to place Of
concentration"
The members Of Company K were
Immediately ordered to report in uni
form for duty at the armory. The
articles of war were read to the SOL
diers by Sergt. Kunz on Tuesday and
the officers ordered to learn their
rules and all week the soldiers have
been drilling most diligently.
The minimum strength of COM
pany is SO members and three COM
gan coming in early in the week un-
til on Thursday Company K was
above minimum strength. Not all
were present, however, as Glen Hol-
lenbeck, Harold Parker, Archie Glib
son, Lee Waddell, Joe Koch and Ed
ward Layman and number Of 9TH
ers were out, most Of them on farms
quite distance from Dickinson and
beyond reach Of a telephone. A suf-
ficient number arrived, however, to
fill the ranks to the number needed
and the company is awaiting trans
portation facilities, expecting to leave
Sunday.
Those enlisted who could not leave
for Fort Lincols at Bismarck with the
regular company, will undoubtedly
leave later with newly recruited men,
bers to join the former, as the COM
panies have orders to recruit to war
strength of $50. Second Lieutenant
Albert Behonck remains here as re-
cruiting officer and will undoubtedly
be able to raise the number in a
short while. The present members OF
Company K are as follows:
