WORTHINGTON'S CRACK MILITIA COMPANY.

 
Company F, Third Regiment, M.N.G.
The Advance is indebted to the Minneapolis Tribune for the use of above cut
and the following sketch of Co. F.
[NOTE: Additional Photos - including a better resolution of the photo above.]

 

Worthington, Minn., (Special.) -- Company F, Third Infantry, Minnesota National Guard of Worthington, which is shown in the accompanying engraving, was organized and mustered into the service of the state Nov. 28th, 1905, with officers as follows: A. Schaefer, captain; S.S. Smith, first lieutenant; Charles B. Ward, second lieutenant, and with 49 enlisted men. With this leadership as a nucleus the company has progressed so that on the practice march of the "hiking Third," in Goodhue county last July, Company F, with 66 men, proved to be one of the most, if not the most, efficient organizations on the ground.

Today Captain Schaefer is congratulated by the commanding officer of the regiment upon having the only full company of 76 men in the regiment. The company has a complete rifle range of 200 to 1000 yards inclusive, and at camp last year qualified three sharpshooters, two expert riflemen, Sergeant Dodge and Robert Smith, and one distinguished rifleman, Lieut. S.S. Smith.

 

Capt. Schaefer was formerly captain of Company I, Second Infantry at Owatonna, and brought that company to a high state of efficiency. He has lately been appointed by Gov. Johnson to the important office of public examiner, and has tendered his resignation of the command of Company F on account of his necessary removal to St. Paul.

 

Lieut. S. Smith formerly served in Company F, First Infantry, Minneapolis, and on the non-commissioned staff of that regiment and has seen upwards of nine years service in the guard.

 

Lieut. C.B. Ward is a veteran of the Spanish and Filippino wars, having served therein with the First South Dakota, and was captain of Company A of that organization at Sioux Falls after its return to the state service.

 

The success and efficiency of this company has often correctly been attributed to the ability and effectiveness of its non-commissioned officers. They are:

 

Sergeants -- First, O.F. Blood; Second, Elmer H. Bassett; Third, Robert R. Smith; Fourth, Wilbur J. Dodge; Fifth, David Bear; Sixth, Charles Loveless, quartermaster.

 

Corporal -- First, J.M. Barron; Second, Henry Nelson; Third Othwaite Kumler; Fourth Guy M. Borst; Fifth Ernest Dewey; Sixth, Virgil Fellows.

 

Sergeant Blood served with Company E of the Fifty-Second Iowa during the Spanish war and is a veteran of the Iowa national guard. He is a model first sergeant.

 

Sergeant Bassett is a veteran of Company L Thirteenth Minnesota and served throughout the Spanish and Filippino campaigns with that famous regiment. His accurate information and broad experience have made him an invaluable element in the instruction of the men.

 

A peculiar and distinguishing character of Company F is the high average of men on its rolls. There are 15 men in the ranks that stand six feet or over and there is an almost total absence of rowdiness and a conspicuous presence of obedience and discipline which make for good soldiers and consequently for good men and good citizens.

 

Died.

 

Amanda, the 17 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ivers, of Rushmore, died last Sunday after an illness of four days, with pneumonia. The funeral was held on Tuesday, undertaker Chaney going over from this city to take charge of the same. The deceased was [a] bright young lady, and her sudden death is a great shock to her relatives and friends.

Communication

 

To the Advance--

 

I wish to protest against the uncalled for and exaggerated slurring allusions in issues of the Worthington Herald to my father, J.N. Holbrook. He has left Worthington for good, and is not now, nor has he been here to defend himself against the numerous attacks recently made on him. The ancient adage about "throwing stones" might be commented to the Herald editor's careful perusal.

HOTEL WORTHINGTON SOLD.
Stanley Moore, the New Landlord, Took Possession Yesterday.

The Hotel Worthington was this week sold to Stanley Moore, who took possession yesterday morning and served breakfast. Negotiations for the sale of the property had been pending for some weeks, and at one time it looked as though H.R. Rockwell would secure it, but Mr. Moore succeeded in closing the deal. The Worthington is one of the best hotel properties between St. Paul and Sioux City, and under Mr. Moore's management we believe it will regain the patronage enjoyed in its palmiest days. He has had considerable experience in the hotel business, and having been for a long time a traveling man himself he is familiar with the requirements of the Knights of the Grip, and the traveling public generally.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Dorgan, who have run the hotel the past eight months, will leave the latter part of the week for Minneapolis, where they expect to spend some time looking after property interests; from there they will go to Washington, D.C., to take the management of a hotel of national reputation.

CALLED HOME

Little Caryl Nance Succumb to Spinal Meningitis. Funeral Held Sunday.

 

The somber Death Angel last Saturday invaded the home of Mr. and Mrs. E.L. Nance for a second time within a month, and summoned hence their 10 year old son, Caryl, who was stricken with spinal meningitis about four weeks before. After the first week of the illness the little fellow improved considerably and hopes were entertained of his recovery, but these hopes were shortlived, and after a few days [a]gain he suffered a relapse and failed gradually until the end, which came last Saturday afternoon. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from the Nance home on Grand avenue. Reverend J.E. Evans conducted the service, which was held on the lawn, and was attended by a large number of the friends of the family. Interment was made in the Worthington cemetery.
