Casa Grande

Dismay and sorrow were the feelings of many of the citizens of Casa Grande on Sunday night when the word was passed around that Company l, First Arizona Infantry, had received orders to break camp and move to Fort Hua- chuca. The men of Company I shared in large degree this regret, tempered somewhat with the hope that it meant the mobilization at their camp for the purpose of being mustered out.
 Since many of the men in Company l, along with the rest of the Arizona Ma tional Guard. made sacrifices to Ire spond to the scall of their country, thinking she was about to be plunged into war and since such has not been the case, they are now anxious to get home. Later orders coming for the battalion to go to Naco, many thought it meant there still might be a chance to muster out in a short time.
 From Captain Robison down the personnel of Company I has been such that those who have been associated with soldiers and large bodies of men expressed the opinion that they were very much above the average. It had been hoped that Company I might re- main with us until all need for the bor- der patrol is over Especially were we encouraged in this belief when the or der came for the erection of the fine mess hall, 24x60 feet, screened in, which had only been completed about two weeks.
 Wednesday when Companies K and l. came in, Company I was ready and all went on to Naco, where the good wishes of their friends in Casa Grande l follow them.
 Wednesday night Mrs. Grady Gam ! mage gave a very interesting and in- l struetive lecture here on the subject of Temperance.

MT. Gammage joined Mrs. Gammag, here and they went on their way to gether as far as Maricopa, since MT Gammage was due in Phoenix and Mrs Gammage and Mrs. Merrill had ap pointments at Gila Bend
