Probability That City's Two
Fine Organizations Will Be
Mustered Out Within
Next Sixty Days.
GENERAL MUSTER TONIGHT

Kenosha's two fine military organi-
cations, the First Separate Battalion Of
the Wisconsin State Reserves, and Com
pany B, 8th Wisconsin State Guards,
will, in all probability, be mustered out
of service within a month or two.
Information to this effect was given
out by Major H. j. Medium, of the Bat
TALON, this morning.
To take the place Of these organiza-
tions two companies are likely to be
most made up to the required limit at
present. However, the returned soldiers
are somewhat slow in accepting service
under the new National Guard provided
of them have actually rofused to join
the new company and officers in the Late
war have been offered commissions in
the organizations that are now being
formed and have refused them. The
boys seem to have become tired of any
thing that smacks of militarism.
Tonight at the Armory the semi
annual muster of the First Separate
Battalion will take place, beginning at
eight Q clock. 1t is desired by Major
Mellum that all the members of the
Battalion be on hand promptly at that
hour. The Battalion will be checked up
so that it may be ascertained who has
moved away. There will not be drill
but the articles of war will be read
and an inspection of the arms and
equipment will be made
The old Russian model rifles which
have been used by the Battalion, have
been returned and in their places the
new 10 model United States Spring
field rifles have been received.
Tuesday night the semi-annual muster
Of Company B Of the Sth regiment IN
der the command Of Capt. James Millar
will be held. The program will be about
the same as that of the Battalion.
