MILITARY COMPANY ASSURED
Have I25 Men and viii Have $50 Soon
Join Now or Be Left Out

| The movement toward organizing a
company in this county is progressing
spendidly. There are 125 men now as
! sured and the number will reach $50
within the next three days or sooner.
An enlisting officer is expected here
almost any day to examine the men
and when the company is made up fur
/ ther enlistm ents will be impossible.
The time for enlistment may be eX-
tended until Monday but it is expected
to close sooner. Those who enlist now
will have the chance to be in a COM
pany with those they know and be Off
cered, in part, as least, by men they
know, which certainly is an item of
Importance.
Thus far no one has enlisted from
Pleasant Hill or Grassy Cove. Crab
Orchard has done splendidly. Counting
those who have previously joined the
army from Grab Orchard within the
past two months, twenty men have
been furnished by that section. Sew
eral have Joined from Maryland and
several more are expected to join as
we'll as some fifteen or more men from
Isoline.
Volner Handy, Davidson Southard
and Sherman N. Smith are listed for
placed as officers. Mr.. Handy, having
seen service in the regular army in the
Philippines following the Spanish
American war, is probably the best
qualified as an officer Of any of the
three. be is cool, man Of good Judg-
nlent and understands what is required;
hence bis chances tor place as an
officer will be excellent. The other
men are well equipped from the point
of intelligence but have not had much,
if any, training.
Regular drills will be in order from
now on and as soon as guns and uni
forms arrive they will drill daily on
the ball ground. The headquarters of
the company is in the old armory, on
the third floor of the Cooper building.
A private receives $3l month,
board and clothes, and to $3S month
if he is good marksman.

W. NJ. HYDER DEAD.
Passed Away at Home Of W. M SeIby'
Vandever, Tuesday of Last Week.

W. M. Hyder, aged n, died at the
home of W. M. Selby, Tuesday of last
week at II clock, p M, after an lll-
ness that had been critical for about a
week
The remains were buried at the Selby
graveyard, Sequatchle valley, Wednes
day, attended by his six children, other
relatives and many sympathetic
friends.
The deceased had been in a critical
and failing condition for week and
his passing away was not unexpected.
His six children, four sons and two
daughters were at the bedside when he
passed away. AL that thoughtful
kindness and love could do to Tighten
his sufferngs was done by his children
and friends. When the end came he
passed away peacefully.
The deceased was born and raised in
Sequatchie valley, but had lived most
of his life on the farm where he died.
His wife PASSED away about l6 years
ago and much of the time since he
spent with his children, all of whom
live in this and adjoining counties, eX.
cept one daughter who lives in Georgia.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Cobble.
The deceased was man of marked
industry and honesty. He was re-
spected by all who knew him and in his
passing away our county loses a citizen
who has always stood for those things
that make tor good citizenship and the
general upbuiIdlng of the country. He
was a kind neIghbor and for many
years the whole neighborhood called
upon him when death occurred to
furnish the coffin. While he made
dozens of them he was never known to
charge cent tor his services, in spite
of the fact that in some instances he
would take lumber from the lott of his
residence to make the coffin. In brief
he was one of those sturdy, old-fash.
Iuned characters who was ever ready
to assist the distressed and counted
himself well paid IN the knowledge
that he had helped friend IN the hour
Of sadness and deep trial,

WHEN GO into TRAINING?
Date Uncertainj May Not Begin Before
Middle Of October.

Owing to doubts as to the severa
training camps being ready for the re
crults, training of the conscripts ma.
rot begin until the first or middle O.
October instead of the first of Septem
ber as has been talked.
When it is remembered that the re
crults have to be examined physically
each and every one, it Will be seen thai
there is a great amount of work aheaC
which is very likely not to be com
pleted in time for drilling to beglr
September l as has been talked. The
feeling maintains that those who regis
tered should be used as far as needed
to harvest the coming wheat crop be-
fore the selective draft actually begins,
it will he seen that delay of that part
of the work must necessarily follow.
After the wheat is harvested will come
the physical examinations and then
they will be Off to the several training
camps. But the preparation of bar
racks for $50, 900 men is task Of such
huge proportions and such vast q1antl-
ties of lumber and other materials will
be required that the completion of the
barrakcs is very likely to be some
weeks beyond the date first considered,
September /. The work will be pushed
with all possible speed, but in spite of
every reasonable effort there will be
unavoidable delays.
When it comes to moving the men
from many isolated points to the Sc
lected training centers, there is great
big job on hand and there is limit as
to the speed with which that can be
accomplished So, if the real training
of the first 500.0 900 troops is actually
under full swing by October instead
Of September l, as first talked. the
work will likely have been speeded up
to the limit.

UGRE POSTPONEMENT.

There is movement abroad in the
state to postpone the constitutional
convention until later or account OF the
country being involved in the war.
While many persons teel there should
be no delay others are of a different
mind and the opposition is very likely
to assume such proportions as to de-
feat it at the polls in July.

wE1EM HUGH COOK FED OUTLAW HORSE SUGAR
INDIANS RENAMED MDNM ssHE RIDES sEM @DGH''

Any old cowpuncher. who has been
riding the range very long, in the
Powder river brakes or up Tongue
river valley around the Northern
Cheyenne Indian reservation will re-
call Kid Cook, debonnair youngster
who made his first appearance in that
country some Is years ago, and for
a while proved the riding sensation
at all improvised rodeos.
"He Rides 'em High" the Injuns
used to call him, though a few knew
him by the appellation MAN Without
a Beard" which translated means
young fellow. He won the first name
as a result of one of the most stir
ring incidents that ever occurred on
a southern Montana ranch, an event
that made of him hero among the
old-time riders and the redmen.
Kid Cook, who in Montana busi-
ness life is now known as Hugh P.
Cook, president and general manager
of the Western Accident and Indem-
nifty company with head offices in
Helena, had recently arrived in the
state from the east. He didn't have
much to say and in line with the GUS
tom in that country, no one asked
him much.
Rodeo ON the Plains.
A mixture half Indians and half
cowboys pulled rodeo off in the
foothills, on the east slope of the
Rosebud mountains If there was
anything in the way of wild west
stunts bull dogging, roping,
racing, etc. no one could
tell what it was. The newcomer
thoroughly enjoyed every stunt until
the final event-a riding contest, in
which an effort was to be made to
tame an outlaw.
Texas Charley, Oklahoma Pete,
Wild Bill, Powder River Jim and a
score of lesser lights tried in vain,

between a mustang and native
Montana horse, proving too much
for them, invariably sending them
to a bed of buffalo grass, unless it
was the hard earth.
The kid, who was very fond of
sweet things, failing he admits
even to this day, had been over to
the cook house for some pastry and
a cup of coffee, and had stuck few
Jumps of sugar in his pocket. Just
after Oklahoma Pete had been
thrown, and the animal was being
saddled again preparatory to another
trial at riding, the kid Joined the

great lines, that of Ben Halliday and
dell.
There was intense rivalry between
these two lines, each attempting to
cut the time schedule below the 9TH
er. In this strenuous effort many
horses were driven to death. Majors
drove his coach from Salt Lake to
Leavenworth, distance of 1900
miles, in 10 days. Ben Halliday then
drove coach over the same route in
eight days, the trip costing him in
dead horses and wrecked equipage,
$4,000. But it was great feat and
attracted as much attention at the
time as an airplane flight across the
Atlantic would attract in these more
modern times.
California, then in the heyday of
it's placer gold excitement, was will
ing to put up thousands of dollars
for more speedy connections with the
eastern United States, and everything
possible was done to encourage quick
er mail communications. Russell,
Majors and Waddell were asked to
establish the pony express. Russell
and Majors were opposed to it, but
Waddell favored it and finally won
his partners over to the undertaking.
Stations Every Ten Miles.
Stations were established across
the continent along the route of the
express every 10 miles between Plac-
erville, Cal, and st. Joseph, Mo. AT
each of these stations there were re-
lay horses of known speed, and sta
bles and men to care for them. In
April, 1860, from both terminals,
the winged riders of the pony express
made their start.
Most of the riders were young men,
sometimes little more than boys,
skilled horsemen who could stay in
the saddle all day and far into the
night. They rode at top speed, not
gallop but a run, the horse being
kept at a speed that could be main
tained for the entire 10 miles. Ere
