Besides the sixty-one men in the company, Maj. Geo. H. Healey and his staff, Lieuts. C. Arthur Tuteur and Geo. W. Healey and Sergeant-Major Don P.

In 1901, the year Company M was organized, Dr. I. M. Washburn was captain and he took into camp 73 men. During intervening years the company has taken from 28 to 60 men, the smallest company going into camp with Capt. Chales C. Warner in 1905. Last year the company took 56 into camp. At Monticello the train took on Company C under command of Capt. lerbert C. Gardner. Captain Gardner has 45 men. The instruction this year will vary from that of former years in that the camp is a single regiment and that part of each day is devoted to rifle practice. Company M has a crack rifle team and stands a chance of defeating all other companies in the regiment. Mail to the coldiers should be addressed to them at Fort Benjamin larrison, Ind., in care of Company M, 3rd Infantry.
