'++++++** + + * + + * ♦ CAMP NIBLICK NOTES. ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + ♦*♦ Since the ten men were selected from Company A and sent to join the first artillery at Indianapolis, there has been some current talk, that eventually the whole company would be 1 split up and divided among other com- 1 panies. The people of the community ! . need not have any fear concerning this as every company in the fourth regiment was required to send ten men to j Indianapolis. The reason for this was the increasing of each artillery company from 190 men to 248 men and as they could not wait on the drafted men an (las they couldaMLm MeM men to supply the need, the volunteer men were the first available. The drafted men, in all probability will be used to fill up the ranks of the companies depleted by the need of filling up the artillery companies. Since the desire is to make the fourth regiment a full one. Decatur need not worry about losing their home unit. The measuring for uniforms has been completed and the orders for the same were sent to Indianapolis today. A new filing cabinet for the official papers of the company has been made by Lawrence Ix>rd and the same was installed in the sergeant's tent today. Edward Rademacher, who has l>een on the sick list, has sufficiently recovered to report for light duty today. Otto Bogner is on the sick list today. Company C of the fourth regiment, which is captained by Captain Livengood, lost sixteen men on account - f physical disabilities and they were given their honorable discharge Saturday. Ten men were also ordered to report at Indianapolis to join the field artillery and this brings the roll of the company down to 119 men. Company A has acquired a mascot in the form of a tiny black kitten ' about eight inches long. The new 1 mascot has been christened “Nig.’’ 1 Robert Merryman is in charge of the soliciting of the advertising for the <
