Neal of Jerome as captain of the squad, and named Morris w. Payne and Ben Harmon as his lieutenants.
 The lads reported to the board of- fees during the morning hours, and after answering the roll call, were given their liberty until noon at which time they were entertained at an elaborate luncheon at the Iavapai Club, the boys being the guests of the welfare committed of the Cham Der of Commerce. A program of speech making and musical numbers helped the troopers enjoy the banquet hour.

The new band gathered on the plaza and played for the boys for nearly an hour At the conclusion of the concert, the troopers from Fort Whipple, the Boy Scouts and many other interested citizens formed procession and escorted the contin- gent 10 the Santa Fe station. where the boys got aboard their train.
