Gapt. Charles Wiltshire Was on Duty at Zanesville.

Zanesville, Ohio, suffered extensively from the flood and to prevent thieves from robbing abandoned homes the militia of that eifcy was placed on duty. Charles Wiltshire, of this eity, is in command of the company, and he wired his mother, Mrs. Harry Wiltshire, Friday, to the effect that his company was on duty. In several Indiana cities the guard companies were called out and they performed excellent work, not alone in .preventing maurading persons from looting the homes, but in the way of rescue and in the equitable and orderly distribution of food and supplies. At Indianapolis all the companies and the Lebanon and Crawfordsville companies were on duty. The Culver Naval cadets did Splendid work, and big boats were taken to Peru and Logansport, manned with the cadets and engaged in work of rescue. The militia is especially well pro pared for any duty that demands vigilant and well disciplined young men and they can bewailed out on short notice fully equipped with everything needed for crises of this kind.
