A State Militia Company to be Organized Here. A state militia company is to to be organized in Rensselaer, which will be maintained at the expense of the state. Dr. Ira M. Washburn has had the matter in charge the past week and has succeeded in securing enough members to make the organization a sure thing. Nearly a hundred names have been signed to the enlistment papers, and it is expected that others will be secured. All of those signing are young men and unmarried, with one exception—the exception being George Healey. The company will be officered by a captain and first and second lieutenant, who will be elected at the organization, at which time Adjutant General Ward will be present. The company will be uniformed and equipped at the state’s expense, and will be required to go into state encampment once each year, for which they receive a compensation of |2 per day. The following are the members who will constitute the company: George Robinson Fred Parcels Ross Hawkins Bruce Hardy Theodore George Thomas Hoyes Newton Pumphrey Charles Risling Edward Catt Leopold Tuteur .Bert Goff Earl Duvall Julian Hopkins Ray Collins George Healey Moses Leopold Gurney lessen Frank Kressler Frank McCarthy Grant Rishling Orland Grant Denver Miller Vern Robinson Zern Wright True Woodworth Harry Whiting Van Grant Guss Grant Vern Shock John Ramey Carl Wood Delos Coen *■ William Barkley Rufus Knox J.
