Corporal Williams is Detailed to Sew ard to Take Charge of All Nlih- tary Work of the Local
 Unit
DRILL IS CALLED FOR TONIGHT
Members are Requested to Be On Hand for Drill and to Perfect Reorganization of Unit for
 Permanent Work

Every member of the local unit of the Seward Guards are requested to turn out tonight at the A. B. hall for drill, prepared to peel their pleasure and get down to wm-likc prepara- tious. The recess is now over and be- ginning tonight and for three nights every week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, it will be drill, drill, until further notice.
 The reason for all this extra ex- ertion and demand for full attendance and getting down to work is because Corporal Edgar O. Williams, of the regular United States Army, is in Seward and he will take full charge of the local unit. Corp. Williams has been detailed to Seward as drill mas ter and instructor, through the cour- tesy of Capt. Davis, of Fort Anchor age, and every drill night must, from now on, see every man in the ranks and ready to buckle down under the instructions of one of the most cap obIe mon obtainable
 Special requests were sent to Gov. J. F. A. Strong and Charles A. Sul- ger, Delegate to Congress, on the Ala meda last night, urging that the sixty guns for the local unit be rushed here with all possible dispatch It is ex- pectcd that the guns will be here shortly, which will then create a great CT interest.
 Corp. Williams detail in Seward is not for long but the local members believe that they can show the prop CT authorities that they are in earn est and he will be allowed to remain here for the entire winter But this is up to the members themselves.
 Corp. Williams is a veteran, in one sense of the word, in the army life. He has been in the ranks since 1894, and has just completed three strenu- ous years under Major General John J. Pershing, who is now in command of the American forces in France. Corp. Williams has seen active duty in China, Philippines and elsewhere. He is a most ikeable sort but shows his military training from the ground up and the local unit should show their individual appreciation by being on hand every drill night when the command to "falI in" is given.
 Don't forget that the drill tonight is for work and a complete re-organi- zation of the local unit,

FINED FOR ALLOWING DOG
TO RUN IN CLOSED SEASON

South Amboy, March 13-The own
ers Of dogs, especially the owners of
bird and hound dogs, should be care
full that they do not stray away from
home and get in the woods during the
closed season as the game ,wardens
are on the alert, especially Game War
den Steurwald, who is on his job all
the time. Some times it is one of the
game warden's friends or the Justices
friends before whom the party who
ha been neglectful is taken and then,
it is either an unpleasant job for both
the warden and the justice to enforce
the law. Nevertheless, the warden
and Justice Mason both endeavor to
deal impartially with both friends and
strangeds, William eLonard who OWLS
fine dog, was brought yesterday be-
fore Judge Mason by Warden Steur-
wald to answer for his neglect in pre-
venting his dog from running at large
during the closed season, and as the
law fixes the amount of the penalty at
$40, the justice has no discretion in
the matter, but to impose the penalty
and costs. While the sympathies of
the warden and justice were with Mr..
Leonard, yet the fine was imposed for
his neglect, which was settled to the
satisfaction of the judge.
