Gary Militia Captain Spent Night in Rensselaer.

Captain Jay A. Umpleby, inspector of weights and measures of Lake county, whose home is at Crown Point, spent Friday night at the Makeever hotel, having arrived here in the evening from Indianapolis in an automobile. He is the captain of the Gary militia company, which was in the First Indiana regiment and which was mustered out of service on March 13th. His company was one of the largest that went to the front from Indiana, the membership being 85 at the time of mustering out. Captain Umpleby was in conference with Gen. Harry B. Smith, the adjutant-general of the state, in Indianapolis Friday and is of the impression that it will be a very short time until the guard is again, called into Captain Umpleby expects in the reorganization of the guard that his company will be placed in the battalion commanded by Major Healey.
