Harrisburg is getting to be very
much in the parade class. Travelling
men who have been here remark
upon the patriotic interest of the
community and say that the fame of
the State Capital in not having to
send men under the draft has been
noised throughout eastern states.
The big patriotic parade last spring
is held to have materially stimulated
things hereabouts.

INSPECTION HELD
Major Schuster Inspects Com
pany D Of the 9th Battalion.

The inspection Of Company d
OF the 9Th Battalion Of Minnesota
Home Guards took place Friday
evening. Major Schuster was the
inspecting officer and the local
company acquitted themselves
with honors in the various move
ments through which they were
put.
The inspection took place at
the Washington Auditorium and
before the time a large audience
was present. The company was
rnt through the manual of arms,
the marches and evolutions in
column formation by M a o r
Schuster. After this the COM
pany staged inside guard mount
for which the High School band
furnished the music.
After the inspection Knutson s
Orchestra furnished excellent
music for the ball that followed.
AZ midnight lunch was served by
Mrs. Kolstad and Hodge. Dan,-
ing continued until two O'Clock.
The Major complimented the
Home guards on the work done
and during the evening took oc-
casion to promote Second Lieu
tenant Gallagher to Adjutant Of
the Battalion comprising the COM
psnies at Eveleth, Gilbert, Biwa-
blk and Ely. The honors be-
slowed on Lieut.. Gallagher were
well placed as he is recognized as
one Of the most capable officers
in. the battalion. He is Spanish
American war veteran and he has
been untiring in his efforts to
bring the Ely company to it's pres
ent stage of efficiency. The pro-
motion meets with the approval
of every member of the Ely CON-
pany and all are pleased over the
recognition given a capable Off
cial and the Ely company in the
appointment Of Adjutant Gala
CHER.
The vacancy caused by the pro
motion will be filed at the meet
ing Of the Guards tonight. 1t is
expected that Top Sergeant Chas.
A. Nutter will be in line for pro-
motion to econd lieutenant.

come necessary. Sergeants Su-
therland, Fourier, Strachan, James
and Englund are in line for pro-
motion as are also Corporals Mer-
dink, TAFT, Anderson, Laing,
Corda, King, Hodge and Schaefer.
Adjutant Gallagher says the
promotion will not affect his act
ing as drill officer for the local
company, a fact that will meet
with the approval of the men,
bers Of the Ely Home Guards.

TO CALIFORNIA
Second Contingent Of Draf tArmy
Left Monday Morning.
Given a RousIng Send-0ff at the
Depot Go.

Twenty-seven men from this
district comprising the final con-
tingent of the first called draft
army left Monday morning for
Camp Winfield Scott, San Fran
cisco, Cal. The first contingent
left in October for Camp Dodge
in Iowa. In all eighty-six have
gone comprising the entire mum
Der to be sent out under the first
call.
The boys left here in the best
of spirits, the larger part being
elated over the prospects OF
spending the winter in California.
1t had previously been reported
that Camp Dodge was cold and
the advice to entrain for Cali
fornia was welcome news. The
entire twenty-seven answered roll
call at Allen junction where the
party from here was joined by
two men, one from Cook and the
other from Eveleth who had Sc
cured permission to go from there
owing to their inability to get to
Ely in time to leave.
The first roll call was held Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. This
call was not complete as several
men were held up by the train
wreck at Hinsdale. At this roll
call also, five aliens were excused.
After the list had been published
last week, a hurry-up order ar
rived to send out no aliens and
in consequence the board issued
orders late Saturday night for
five other names to fill the places.
This late order accounted for the
inability Of the man from Cook
and the man from Eveleth to get
here.
Those excused were Frank
Poderzaj, Frank Jenko, Joseph
Fink, John Jurisich and Joseph
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-12-21

Gradishnek. Those called to fill
the quota were Sever Karni OF
Soudan, Alfred E. johnson of
Winton, Oscar Levander of En-.
barrass, Hugo H. Ojala of Ely
and Mike John Musich of Sou
dan.
To further add to the dilemma
four men who were to leave with
the party were held up by the
wreckiGg of the passenger train
Sunday and it was reported that
several were seriously injured
and would be unable to take their
places in the line. Pete Hall who
was coming in response to the
summons for duty from North
Yakima, Wash, Arthur Carl
Selke from st. Paul, Geo. P. Will
liams from Duluth and w. FL.
johnson from Duluth and the
Tower and Embarrass boys were
also on the train that arrived at
4 o'clock. Williams and johnson
were scratched about the head
but otherwise uninjured. Selke
was injured in the hip and left
here the following morning on
crutches. Hall was uninjured.
Roll was again called at 5 80
when all but the two above men,
toned responded. The five who
were hurriedly summoned to take
the places Of the aliens were
present. Alfred E. johnson of
Winton was elected captain Of
the contingent and Walter Slet-
ten as lieutenant. The men were
placed in their charge and those
who did not desire to spend the
night at their own home and
those from out of town were
given accommodations at the Ex-
change Hotel.
Monday morning at 5:45 all
were present at the headquarters
at the Central school building
and full instructions were de-
livered to the captain and lieu
tenant and also to the men. At

the last fond farewells were said.
The ladies of the Red Cross

Winton with a package. The
Red Cross gave each Christmas

''CRIPPLED" INDIAN TEAM

Morton Pitches Cleveland, With
ceveral Regulars Absent, to
Victory Over Ayers.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Guy Morton, the in-and-out finger of
the Indians staff. got the verdict over
Doc Ayers IN pitching contest yester-
day, makeshift Cleveland team TAX
ing the first game of the final series in
Washington, 3 to l. Fohrs outfit
demonstrated considerable punch for a
crippled organization.
Morton has mot enjoyed a very sue
cessful season this year, but he was
good enough to keep the Griffmen's
total of hits down to six yesterday. and
managed to scatter them we'll except in
the third round, when doubles by Ain
smith and Menosky produced the locals
lone tally A fielder's choice and a
walk had the bases loaded with Ma
tionals after Ainsmith scored. with
none out, but Milan lifted a short fly
to Smith, Ayers was forced at the
plate on Rices grounder to Turner and
Charity lined to Smith. Failure to
take advantage of this promising situa-
winning fade. The Griffmen got one
or more on the paths in five of the re-
naming six frames, but never really
threatened.
Sam Crane handed the Indians their
first run in the opening session by
making poor throw to second in at
tempting a forceout. The visitors had
runners on second and third in both
the fourth and sixth innings. but 1t
was not until the ninth that they were
able to cash. Then Evans single, Tur-
ner's second double and sacrifice flies
by Billings and Morton accounted for
the deciding tallies. Score:
