The Government Can Spare But 25 at
Present—More Soon
However
Captain II. Tom Kight returned
from a visit to Oklahoma City Thurs
day evening. While there he talked
with Ancel .arp. Adjutant General,
relative to uniforms for the local com-
pany of Home Guards, and he also
made inquiries as to when the local
company might expect to receive rifles
and ammunition from the government.
The Home Guards Thursday even-
ing marched down Third street intend-
ing to r:o to the train and meet Cap-
tain Kight but he arrived before the
body had reached the depot nnd imme-
diately took command, marching the
company to the city hall where he di-
vulged the information he had receiv-
ed at Oklaohma City.
He said the local company was to
use regulation army uniforms with the
the provision that the uniforms must
be dyed blue. Thrs ruling will prevail
among all of the Home Guard units in
the United States. The uniforms will
now be secured at an early date.
As to rifles and ammunition. Cap-
tain Kight said the government was
at present short on rifles nnd only
about 80 1 would be received in the
state, for distribution among the vari-
ous units therein, in the near future.
Of this numger he said his company
had been promised ut least 25 by Ad-
jutant General Earp. Others will be
secured just as fast as the government
is able to send them to Oklahoma.
These 2.ri rifles will be received here at
an early date, according to Captain
Kieht.
The local company was put thru an
hour and a half of stiff drill Thursday
evening by Johnathan Blair.drill mas
ter, and was also commanded for a
time by Captain Kight. A num-
ber of the members of the com-
pany were absent. Thin serves to re-
tard the progress of the balance of the
company and is a prat ice not to be
tolerated by Captain Kieht in the fu-
ture. A good and sufficient excuse
for absence will be required.
