Indiana guard company E recruits near war strength
Captain John E. Miller says company E of the Indiana national guard will reach 175 men by Saturday, twenty five over war strength, with about fifty new recruits already mustered at the West Main armory. Reports say Indiana units may report to Fort Benjamin Harrison and perhaps be sent to the Mexican border for patrols, though no immediate call is expected. Daily drill at the fort will prepare the men for service if war comes.
