LINCOLN GUARD -
AT FULL STRENGTH
Half Companies Ready to Move at
Instant of Beceipt of
Orders.
NEW COMPANY AT ALLIANCE
(From a Staff Correspondents '
Lincoln, June 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Half of the guard companies
have ben ready to move for twenty
four hours. They are equipped to full
trength and the delay appears to
worry them considerably.
The first orders arriving from
Washington Monday morning stated
that the guard would be mobilized at
"Lincoln or some point to be designated-."
Guard officers preferred the
government rifle'range at Ashland be
cause of the equipment there already
installed, and also because of the dis
tance from the larger towns with their
attendant attractions for the soldier
boys. -
Governor Morehead this morning
authorized the organization of a com
pany at Alliance on request of Robert
Grayham, a prominent live stockman,
and Charles Tully and J. W. Guthrie
of the Commercial club. The com
pany will be mustered in as soon as
the required sixty-five men sign the
muster roll.
Some instances are reported where
members of the guard have shown the
white feather, but they are very few.
One man at Hastings has devetbped
cold feet,, and another at Kearney,
while at Lincoln a woman called up
Major Haysel and said she did not
bring up her boy to be a soldier.
Wymore reports that but forty-five
men and three officers have reported
so far.

NORTH PLATTE IS FORMING
COMPANY Of GUARDS
North Flatte, Neb., June 21. (Spe
cial.) A recruiting office has been
opened here and the real work of or
ganizing a company of guardsmen
started last night. A number of men
signed the roll during the evening.
Leonard Robinson, department In
spector of the state organization of
United Spanish War Veterans, has
been appointed recruiting officer and
expects to have the required number
of men pledged within a short time.
It is not thought that it will be
necessary to go out of North Platte
for men to complete the number, but
there are a number of smaller towns
in the county to draw upon if neces
sary, and men from these places will
not be barred.
The North Platte organization will
be designated Company E of the
Fifth regiment. The old guard com
pany, which was mustered out here
some time ago, was Company of
the Second regiment-
