THE THIRD BATTALION.
The headquarters of the Third Battalion are at Franklin, and it consists of companies L, of Lebanon; K, of Danville; E, of Franklin; and M, of Greenfield.
Major John H. Tarlton, of Franklin, who is in command, commenced his military career as first lieutenant of the inde- pendent military company at Indianapolis called the Indiana State Guards, in 1872, and served until 1876. The company was called on by Governor Hendricks in 1873 and sent to Logansport during the railroad strikes and again in 1874, when it was sent to Porter County. He was appointed cap- tain of Company E, Second Infantry, of Franklin, on March 26, 1896, and as such served with his company through the war with Spain. On the re-organization of the Guard, he was promoted major and was commissioned July 16, 1900, and was assigned to the command of the Third Battalion of the regi- ment.
Lieutenant Walter H. Unversaw, of Franklin, battalion adjutant, enlisted in Company E, Second Regiment, of Frank- lin, on the organization of the company, August 17, 1894, and served as a private and company clerk until May 16, 1896, when he was promoted corporal. He re-enlisted on the re- organization of the company in 1897 and was promoted ser- geant, December 22, 1897, and so served until the company was mustered into United States service for the war with Spain. He was then promoted quartermaster sergeant and served through the war with the regiment. Lieutenant Un- versaw was one of the prime movers in the re-organization of the company, and when it was mustered in, June 1, 1900, he was elected as first lieutenant. On July 17, 1900, he was promoted to the position he holds at present.
The Lebanon company is located in a town which sup- ported a company longer, without a break, than almost any other of the smaller cities of the State. The Lebanon Rifles were organized June 3, 1882. with fifty-five officers and men, and the company served nearly twelve years in the State service. It was first assigned to the Second Regiment as Company M. and there served until the organization of the Third Regiment, to which it was transferred as Company B. In 1886 it was made Company A of the Third and served under that letter until the Fourth Regiment was organized, when it was again transferred, on February 3, 1891, and made Company B of the Second. It served with that regiment until its time expired. The officers were:
203
NATIONAL GUARD,OF INDIANA.
Captains-John M. Powell, James S. Siever, Ed L. Hawley, William Cason, Louis A. Edens, D. N. Lewis, and Noah Loughrun.
First Lieutenants-Charles F. Devol, George D. Seiver, John T. An- derson, Louis A. Edens, William Cason, E. M. Bruce, T. F. Garrett, E. L. Hawley, D. Newton Lewis, A. B. Carr, and E. N. Caldwell.
Second Lieutenants-James S. Seivers, George D. Siever, John T. Anderson, Edward Hawley, Louis Edens, J. F. Atkinson, E. N. Caldwell, Milton Woodbeck, A. B. Carr, Lon Hoover, and Alonzo Laughlin.
The present company was organized during September, 1899, and mustered into service November 23 following. The present officers were elected and the company became the thirteenth separate company until the Second Regiment was re-organized, when it was assigned to it as Company L. At the time of its muster it numbered fifty-four men, but was soon recruited to the maximum number. A hall was secured and fitted up as an armory and the company commenced its regular drills. The company was in Indianapolis the day General Lawton's body lay in state and all expenses were borne by a few of the patriotic citizens of Lebanon. The company also was present at the camp in 1900. From the re-muster of the company to the present time there have always been applications pending sufficient to keep the com- pany at its full strength.
Captain Noah Loughrun, son of Hugh and Eliza Loughrun, was born June 24, 1843, at Millford, Muskingum County, Ohio, Four years later his parents moved to Hamilton County, Indiana, near Jolietville, where they resided on a farm until he was fifteen years old, and moved to the village of Joliet- ville. He assisted his father on the farm as other boys and attended the common school in the winter, and was attending school at the village when the great war of the rebellion broke out in 1861. He volunteered in Company F, Tenth Regi- ment, Indiana Infantry, for the term of three years, and was mustered into the service September 18, 1861, and was mus- tered out with the regiment at the expiration of the term of service, having participated in every battle that the regiment was in. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, quite severely, but did not leave the field until the battle was over. He subsequently assisted to raise and organize a company in the One-Hundred-Forty-Seventh Indiana Volunteers and was elected second lieutenant and was mustered out with the regiment by reason of the end of the war.
When the war closed, he became a farmer, which was continued till 1870, then moving to Zionsville, Ind., and served as town marshall and justice of the peace, after which he entered the practice of law. He was nominated by his

party in 1890 for representative to the General Assembly, but was defeated, and in 1894 was elected prosecuting attorney, in which office he gave universal satisfaction, and was re-nomi- nated in 1896 and also in 1900 for the same office, but was de- feated through a combination of opposition parties, generally being ahead of his ticket.
When the Spanish war was declared he responded to his country's call. Although fifty-five years of age, he re- cruited and organized a company and tendered its services, having been chosen its captain. The quota for the dis- trict was full and the company was never received for that reason. The latter part of 1899 he organized and was ap- pointed captain of the thirteenth separate company of the National Guard, which became Company L of the Second Regiment, and is now captain and in command of the com- pany, and has the confidence and esteem of every man in the company.
In December, 1865, he was married to Miss Cornelia Baird, youngest daughter of David and Amy Baird, to which union have been born eight children. Captain Loughrun is of that class of men growing too few, whose word is as good as his bond. He is implicitly trusted as a lawyer, and universally esteemed and respected as a neighbor and citizen.
First Lieutenant Edward N. Caldwell was born in Leba- non, Indiana, September 2. 1870, receiving an education in the Lebanon schools. He always took a great interest in mili- tary from the time he was a small boy. At the age of four- teen he joined a militia company in Lebanon under Captain John Powell, who afterward became lieutenant-colonel of the Third Regiment. His first encampment was at Lafayette, in 1886. At that time the companies had to furnish their own uniforms and pay their company cook while at camp. He remained with this company until it was mustered out, and re-entered the service in Company A, Third Regiment. In 1889. he was appointed third sergeant and attended the encampment at Camp Hovey, Indianapolis. In January, 1890, he was elected second lieutenant of the company and at- tended the encampments at South Bend and Ft. Wayne. Be- ing in poor health he resigned his commission, September 22, 1891. At the time of the declaration of war with Spain serious illness of his family prevented his entering the serv- ice. In September, 1899, he took an active part in organizing the present company and at its election and muster on No- vember 23, 1899, he was elected first lieutenant.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE THIRD REGIMENT, INFANTRY.
The Third Regiment of Infantry was organized July 2, 1883, and I. E. Kirk, of Kokomo, was promoted from the adju- tantcy of the First Regiment to be colonel of the new organ- ization. Headquarters were established at Kokomo. The regiment as organized consisted of nine companies, and refer- ence was had to the geographical location of the companies, so that all in the regiment should be in the northern part of the State. By 1886 the regiment numbered 569, and two years later 546.
In 1889 the headquarters were changed to Waterloo, and at that time the regiment was 531 strong. The removal of Colonel McBride to Elkhart in 1890 caused another change in the headquarters to that city, and there they remained until 1891. when Valparaiso became headquarters. The strength then was 417, but the following year it increased to 662.
The chief interest in 1892 was in the gallery practice, and the Third came in for its share of the honors. The best aver- age company score in the State was made by Company G, of Rochester, with 37.2, and the best individual score in the State was made by Captain E. G. Hall, Company L, of Fowler, with 48 out of a possible 50. The third largest aggregate company score was made by Company G, of Rochester, with 1,302, and the third best average company score was made by Company L, of Fowler, with 36.03. Company H, of Angola, was officially commended for the large number of men who shot.
The average scores of the companies were: G, of Roches- ter, 37.2; L, of Fowler, 36.03; H, of Angola, 27.13; C, of Val- paraiso, 22.67; E, of Elkhart, 17.62; M, of Indianapolis, 16.44; D, of Mishawaka, 14.93; I, of Waterloo, 12.36.
In the general inspection made the fall of that year the standings of the companies, on a basis of 100 for perfection in all points, were: A, 71; B, 69; C, 70.5; D, 72.7; E, 72.3; F, 86; G, 76.2; H, 71.4; I, 71.3; K, 76.7; L, 47.7; M, 67.7.
In 1893 the headquarters were moved to Elkhart and there remained until 1896, when they were moved to South Bend,

where they have since remained. The strength of the regi- ment in 1893 was 651; in 1895, 670; in 1896, 416, and in 1897, 633.
The regiment was the first one from Indiana to be mus- tered into the United States service for the war with Spain, and it served as the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana, or was better known as "Studebaker's Tigers."
