Be ON THEIR
WAY MONDAY
Verified Reports State Every.
thing in Readiness for the
Move
MAJOR HANLEY PRESENTED
WITH HANDSOME CHARGER

There is now not question Of q
doubt but that the First Regiment,
N. D. N. G. will be entrained and TAX
en- to some unknown point on the
Mexican border Monday. The report
that the troops would be on the move
Monday was verified last evening and
it is expected that preparations will
be we'll underway early on Monday
mornlng and &the three battaliOns
miles on their journey the evening Of
the same day.
Supplies and equipment that have
been delaying the departure of the
troops will be on hand today and the
majority of coaches for their trans
portation are already side-tracked in
the railroad yards.
At just what hour the boys will
leave is still unknown and they may
pull out early Monday morning, al
though it is expected that the early
portion Of that day will be taken up
in breaking camp and loading the
cook stoves, tents and other equip
ment.
1t was rumored last evening that
the first battalion would be on its
way this evening and the others
would follow early Monday morning,
but this report was taken up with re-
liable authority and proven untrue.
Officers and men of every company
are at present prepared to go and are

The boys are eager for glimpse of
Carranza's domain and are of the
opinion that they will be stationed on
the border for several months at the
very least. :
All of the officers and men muster
ed into the service Of the United
States were examined several days
ago and although many failed to pass
the strenuous tests of the medical
authorities the muster rolls of the
various companies will bring the to-
tai number representing North Dako-
ia we'll over the thousand mark.
Many of the company ranks were
depleted greatly by the searching ex-
animation conducted by the physi-
clans, Company D of Minot suffering
heavily in this respect.
Capt. C. N. Berker of Company X,
Dickinson, has resigned his command
of that company and will be succeed
ed by First Lieut.. J. f. D. Wiley, who
will be succeeded by Second Lieut..
Albert Behonek. Capt. Berker failed
to pass the physical test, being just q
trifle to light in weight. Capt. Berk-
er is one of the ablest company COM
manders in the regiment and his loss
will be felt in many ways. The plucky
leader of the Dickinson boys was
eager to head his men on their trip
to Mexico and during their stay there
and his many friends sympathize
with him in being refused this privil-
ege and honor.
Is Presented With Charger.
Major Hanley of Mandan, in COM
mand of Battalion 3, was yesterday
presented with a handsome black
charger by citizens of Shields. Major
Hanley is one of the best known and
popular commanders with the regi-
ment and is very grateful for the gift.
Shields is a portion of his judicial
district and the people of that town
were eager to show their regard for
him in some material manner and are
of the opinion that they have present.
