Third Regiment Ordered Home.


I Five national guard regiments were
ordered home from the Mexican bor-
der last Thursday. They are First
South Carolina, Seventh New York
Third Indiana, Third Wisconsin and
Third Minnesota, of which Co. G of
Princeton is part. Other companies
in the Third come from Duluth, Anoka,
Zumbrota, Eveleth, Olivia, Crookston,
Saltwater, Red Wing and Hibbing and
machine gun company from Roches-
ter.
In a statement announcing the
order, the war department said it is
IN continuation of the policy "an-
nounced some time ago to gradually
withdraw national guard regiments
from the border as conditions permit
and, in accordance with the recon-
mendations Of General Funston.
Department officials said the order
had no relation to the proceedings of
the joint conference at Atlantic City.
Approximately 100000 national
guardsmen will remain on the border
when these five regiments, with a total
strength of about 5000, have been
withdrawn.
| The barracks at Fort Smelling have
been placed in readiness to receive
the Third Minnesota regiment and
house it until the mastering out is
completed.
The boys of the Third, however, are
participating in extensive maneuvers
and it is not expected that they will
get away from Texas before the first
of December, and probably will not
reach their homes much before Christ
mas.
The regiment was ordered into SER
vice June 10, and moved to Camp Bob
Letter June .26. Four days later they
were mustered into Federal service.
July 4 the first formal parade was
given at the Speedway, leaving July
10 for the border. Camp was estab-
lished July Is at Llano Grande, where
Col. F. E. Resche was made bragadier
general July rs.
The next day Lieut.. H. V. Eva was
elected colonel.
- In a-review of the regiment by the
leading officials Aug. Is, the regiment
was given high praise, and second
rank in the division for it's efficiency.
Company G boys should be accorded
warm welcome when they return to
Princeton. That they did not see ac-
tive service in the field was their good
fortune. They were ready and willing
to do their duty whenever called upon.
Princeton and Milaca should join in
welcoming the boys home.

POhl-Peltier.

Mr.. Frank Pohl and Miss Grace
Peltier were united in marriage by
Rev. Geer Of the Methodist church
last Thursday, and left at once for
Minneapolis on brief wedding trip.
They returned to Princeton Tuesday
evening. The groom is a wide-awake
young farmer of sterling worth, and
is deservedly popular among his as
sociates, while the bride is a young
lady of pleasing ways, who has taken
a course in the Northwestern Hospital
Training School for Nurses. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pohl will assuredly have a happy
future if the we'll wishes of friends
count for aught.

AMMUNITION IN
CASE Of COAL
Coal Dealers Approached
By Mexicans; Ammunition
in Milk Cans.

Mexicans from Juarez have approached
a number Of local coal dealers with
the request that they be permitted to
place large shipments of ammunition
and rifles in the bottom Of coal cars
and exported to Juarez with a cover
ing Of coal spread over the ammunition
and rifles.
The Mexicans have offered to pay
large sums for the coal and for the
privilege OF loading the ammunition in
the local Goa yards and having it
coal The coal dealers were approached
before the embargo on coal shipments
had been declared at the bridges.
Much Smuggling.
During the past five years quantities
Of ammunition nav been smuggled
across the river hidden under coal in
coal cars and the federal inspectors
have learned to uncover the coal cars
in search OF ammunition before il was
permitted to cross.
AS soon as the local dealers were
approached they are said TO have re-
ported the affair to Gen. Bell and to
have announced that, not only would
the decline to enter into the con-
spiracy. but could refuse TO sell coal to
any one for shipment TO Juarez for fear
il was to be used for this purpose after
it left their yards.
VII Cans Used
Federal authorities are taking extra
precautions TO prevent any smuggling
Of arms or ammunition. Though not a
case Of this kind has been found, it is
reported Mexicans are ~resorting to
milk cans for smuggling ammunition.
The method is to load the ammunition
in bottom and fill the car with milk.
