Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 130, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 June 1911 — Second Battalion Try-Out Will Take Place at South Bend. [ARTICLE]

Second Battalion Try-Out Will Take Place at South Bend.

The try-out for the rifimen of the 2nd battalion of the 3rd regiment of the Indiana National Guard will be held at the South Bend range on June 16, 17 and 18. An order to that effect was received by Company M today. All who have qualified as marksmen on range will be entitled to compete in the match. A team will be selected there to represent the battalion in the regimental match. The shooting of Company M has been much better this spring than at any previous time and it is expected that eight or ten will qualify to attend the try-out. One sergeant, one corporal and two privates are called for as scorers and pitmen.

Mrs. George Phillips, of Burnham, 111., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Randle. She expects to start home Sunday.

George Gorham's count of autos that went northward on the return trip to Chicago Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was 255. That was practically all the daylight travel. Probably fifty or seventy-five went through at night.

John C. Martindale continues about the same. He has been unable to leave his bed for three weeks and seems to be just about holding his own and that is all. Mr. Martindale has always Jjeen a great friend to all the old soldiers and each Decoration Day he has passed among them and distributed a box of good cigars. This year his cheerful presence was missed by his old friends, all of whom are hoping with The Republican that he will soon recover from his present sickness.

A cup of Bonano is a step forward on the road to health and happiness.
