Artillerymen Drill at the
Armory Saturday.
NEARLY ENTIRE STRENGTH
OF COMPANY WAS PRESENT
Over Two Hundred CoupleWere
Present at Ball Following
Brilliant Ceremony.
The balcony at the armory was fill
ed with several hundred residents of
this city Saturday evening who gath
ered there to witness the quarterly in
spection and muster of the Fifth com
pany Coast Artillery Corps of this
city.
The guardsmen, attired in blue dress
uniforms with white standing collars
and gloves, and black shoes, appeared
upon the floor of the drill ball prompt
ly at 8 o'clock where they were in
spected several minutes later by Cap
tain Krank M. Powell, assisted by
Lieutenants Merman O. Stalnaker and
Leland K. Gilbert,
Nearly (he full strength o fthe com
pany was present at the inspection and
the boys made a fine showing both
in appearance and in executing the
many difficult evolutions in the -drill
which followed the inspection. The
veteran-like manner in which the mi
litiamen drilled was a revelation to the
spectators, many of whom had never
witnessed the company worlf, and the
commanding officers received many
warm compliments from Albany peo
ple in.mi the splendid showing made.
Following the inspection, which
consumed nearly an hour, the floor
was cleared for a dance, for which in
vitations had been issued during the
week. Over two hundred couples
were on the floor and the remainder
of the evi-ning was spent in tripping
the light fantastic to music played by
the Chautauqua orchestra of this city.
Those who attended the dance ex
pressed the nisei vr.s as having had a
most delightful time and say that the
guardsmen are excellent entertainers.
The iiuif.it was very good and the
flour which was recently placed in
first class shape at considerable ex
pense proved to be entirely satisfac
tory to everybody.
Half of the money used for fixing
the floor was contributed by the state
and the other half by the local com
pany ami the proceeds of the ball Sat
urday evening will be used to pay a
part of the expense involved. During
the inspection Saturday evening, Capt.
rowel I announced to the people pres
ent that on new Year's Kve, the fa
mous military baud of thirty pieces
from the Oregon Agricultural College
would pa pear in concert at the armo
ry under the auspices of the Albany
Military Club, and that everybody
would be given the worth of their
money in the program to be rendered
by the band, which is under the lead
ership of Capt. Harry L. Beard.
The Albany company of Coast Ar
tillery which was inspected Saturday
evening has won the reputation of be
ing the crack company of the regi
ment of reserves and at the annual
maneuvers and target practice held at
Fort Stevens last August, was the
only company that was successful in
making a hulls-eye with the big 10
inch guns.
This remarkable record was made at
a range of (2(KI yards or approximate
ly Wt miles from the gun and the
pyramidal target which was located in
the Pacific ocean at that range was
badly shattered by the 605-pound pro
jectile tired by the members of the
local company whose mark man slim
was warmly complimented by the of
ficers of the regular army at Hattery
Knssell.
llesides making the only bulls-eye
during the maneuvers, the other four
shots fired bv the Albany company
were hits. At the maneuvers next
year, the local artillerymen will fire
the big guns without any supervision
by regular army officers and an effort
will be made to surpass this year's
record.
The annual inspection and muster
of the Albany company, at which the
full strength of the company will lie
present, will occur during the latter
p:ir1 of lamuvv.

AN OHIO MAN HITCHED
HIS WIFE TO A PLOW
Woman Now Asks Court for
Divorce; Judge Signed Decree
with Pleasure.
Lisbon, O., Dec. 23. After telling
the court how her husband Jacob
Zimmerman, had hitched her to a
plow as the "off-horse" with her
brother, Emma Zimmerman was
granted a divorce today by Judge
Moore. The court added that he nev
er had felt more genuine pleasure in
signing a decree in his life.
Although subjected to hardships
and abuse, Mrs. Zimmerman, who is
only 23 years old, still has the bloom
of health in her cheeks. She told on
the stand how her husband had abus
ed her and her baby and then forced
her and her brother, Walter Yeager,
into the harness and hitched them to
the plow. They were driven over the
fields like a team of oxen pulling the
big shear, she said.
Three witnesses were called to sub
stantiate the charge, but their exam
ination was cut short by Judge Moore,
who remarked that he was thoroughly
conversant with the facts as he had
sentenced the husband to serve three
months in the workhouse following
his conviction on a charge of cruelty
growing out of the plowing case.
The Zimmermans were married in
New Cumberland, W. Va., in 1909.
