REJECTED COMPANY C MEN ORDERED TO REPORT

Griffin, Barnes and Staggs Wanted For the Recruiting Service In the State.

Monticello Journal. Like a flash of lightning from a clear sky an order came this morning to Arion Griffin, Galen Barnes and A. R. Staggs, three men of 00. C who were rejected by the examining physicians before the coippany went to the border, ordering them to report at Indianapolis, for duty. The order came from Adjutant General Bridges, and with the enclosure was an order for railroad transportation. The order read, “at once.” It was stated in the order luat the physical examination had been waived and that the men would be mustered in as privates and will be used in the state recruiting service for the present. They will probably be assigned to assist Lieut. Halstead, who is in charge of the recruiting stations in the northern part of the State. Griffin and Barnes will go to Indianapolis either this afternoon or tomorrow. Staggs is at his home in Walton.
