HOME GUARDS, ATTENTION!

The records of the Adjunct General’s office show that there is in the Treasury belonging to the Home Guards or militia that served during the Morgan raid and during other periods of the late war, a large sum of money. Senator Griffith has furnished us a list of those to whom money is due, stating the company to which they belonged. All were members of the 10th Indiana Legion, commanded by Col. Oliver Ormsby. If any of those to whom money is due will authorize someone here to draw the same, it can be done. As a matter of convenience the necessary blanks for which parties to sign have been sent to Lewis O. Schroeder, who is informed as to the proper steps to be taken to secure such sums as may be due such parties. It is recommended that the power of attorney to draw money be made in the name of Dr. P. S. Sage, and forwarded at an early day to Senator Griffith, who will attend to the same. Return stamps should be enclosed. All such money not called for in a short time will be placed in the general fund, and it is therefore important such persons or their friends set promptly.
