Indianapolis Battery Has Been Declared Inefficient.

The result of the last federal inspection made during February and March has disclosed that the Indianapolis battery of field artillery is not up to the required standard, lacking in officers and enlisted men. It also has inadequate armory facilities for instruction and care of property and there was a lack of community support. Adjutant General Bridges has announced that federal support will be withdrawn from the battery’ and that the equipment be turned in to the state arsenal. The horses and ammunition will be sent to Lafayette for the use of Batteries B and G.
