 Captain A. H. Griswold Is a sea- soned soldier. He was an officer of Company I, First Infantry, during the Spanish Am erican war and was later promated to captaincy. During the strike riots in Waterbury decade ago he was in command of the local troops and handled the situation in masterful way. A few years ago Captain Griswold was placed on the retired list, but during the Mexican crisis last summer he was recalled to the colors and after drilling the re- cruits at Mantle he was sent to Mo- gales, Arizona, with fresh troops. He was again retired at the close of that episode but on the death of Captain Fl. F. Ladbury he was once more sum- moned to the colors and has since been in charge of Company I. Off, cers and men in both Co., F. and Go. are seasoned soldiers, due to their rigid training on the border last sum- mer. Each man is more than an or dinary marksman and several are crack shots.
 As soon as authority to call out the troops had been obtained the question of rounding up the soldiers presented itself. Those that had telephones were hastily summoned. Boy Scouts, with a directory list, hastened to the homes of others and finally on orders from Mayor Quigley and Captain Griswold the company bugler was ordered to sound the assembly call on all of the principal streets. Within half hour practically every soldier was at the armory and under guard. All during the night the soldiers guard| l the streets and several squads in automo- piles patrolled every street, picking up stragglers and looking for suspects.
 Mayor Quigley is loud in his praise of the splendid spirit of cooperation shown by the fire departments in Hartford, Waterbury, Bristol and Plainville. The entire expense of fighting the fire. policing the city and paying for the soldiers will be borne by the city treasury, but all officials are of the opinion that it will be cheap at whatever cost
 Plainville's volunteer fire depart ment, usually paid by the hour, did generous thing last night on re- turning to their station. By a unan- imous vote the men agreed to ask the city of New Britain nothing for their services.
