seiged with questions as to length of
service, character of duty to be per
formed and as to the probability of
active warfare to be seen by those who
enlisted in the company being or
ganized. In answer to these the ex-
soldiers gave such definite informa-
tion as they possessed and the roster
was soon increased from 10 to more
than ninety by evening.
During the day several young men,
having read of the opportunity pre-
sented to join the colors in the Tulsa
company, came to this city from sur
rounding towns and placed their
names to the list.
