Captain Fred B. Perley of Vassalboro
was among the business visitors in this
city on Tuesday, and in speaking to
a friend of the condition which now
exists, approXimating an entire stand
still in the work of the militia of
Maine, he stated that while the men
have refused to take any part in the
drills and have even refused to be
present at proposed elections of Off
GERS, he should do everything in his
power to force them to attend the an
nual United States government inspec-
ton, which comes Feb. 16. He said that
he will notify each member of Co. M
that he is expected to attend this in
spection. and that If necessary he will
invoke the aid of the sheriff to bring
in those who still refuse to attend.
Captain Perley stated that there were
but three companies in the State,
Harrington, Bangor and Rumford, that
are doing anything at present, and he
feels that his company has used him
very unjustly since their return from
the border
