MAI. TINKER
HAS NOTABLE
SOLDIER RECORD
New Head of Vermont
State Guard Has Served
With Distinction

The appointment, by Adjutant-
General II. T. Johnson, Of Major
John w. Tinker, one Of St. Johns
bury's most beloved soldiers, to be
commanding officer Of the entire nat
ional guard organization of Vermont,
has been received with no great SUI
prise in state military circles. 1t was
most fitting and proper, that in max
ing his selection, General Johnson
should choose Major Tinker, 4 self
made officer and a man, who enjoys
an enviable record Of service in the
national guard as we'll as the regular
army, Company leaders in every sec
ton of the state are pleased to hear
of the fine success of the local mill
talN man.
Major Cowan, whose vacancy Ma
ior Tinker fills, has given up this high
post to accept a commission in the
regular army. Guardsmen through
out Vermont were grieved when they
learned Of Major Cowan's resignation
but this grief was considerably les
scned by the news that such a capable
soldier as Major Tinker was to as
sumo charge of the guard affairs.
Major Tinker will make his head
quarters in the Armory here from
where he will direct the activities OF
tha state militia.
1t was way back in 1897 that the
new chief enlisted in old Company
D as a private. By hard plugging ne
learned a great deal about military
drill, mReuvers, etc. and when the
Spanish-AmericQn War broke out
he was promoted 70 sergeant and
served with 'the First Vermont Vol
unteerS.
Sergeant Tinker's outfit was sent
to Chickamauga Park Tenn, where
they were stationed throughout the
war His organization had received
sailing orders in the morning for
Porto Rico but before night had fall
en- these orders were rescinded The
conflict was over and he had lost an
opportunity TO fght-somcthng he
had been looking forward to with
ANXIOUS heart.

tho federal service on his birthday in
1898. It was not long, however, be-
fore he was back in the harness
