From day to day was expected the guard would be mustered in and ordered to the border. Under this stress, Governor Alexander held a private conference with officers of the regiment and an agreement reached by which Adjutant General P. H. Crow was to resign and become lieutenant colonel. The change was effected and Dr. C. S. Moody named adjutant general. Crow as adjutant held the rank of Brigadier General of the Idaho guard, but because Idaho had no brigade was disqualified to accompany the regiment. His appointment as lieutenant colonel is considered a voluntary demotion.
The injunction served upon Captain Garber, federal mustering officer, against mustering in Colonel Crow, is alleged to have been timed carefully. The friends of the governor allege that political influences were brought to bear on the majors in the guard to begin the court action. Since then the governor has threatened court martial of Colonel Edelblute and Majors Lewis, Wilkins, and Olson. In the meantime, the governor threatens to tour the state personally in recruiting work, the publicity over the late incidents having had a demoralizing effect. The war department ordered Crow mustered in, which was done, and an army officer named Colonel, so that Edelblute may be minus a commission.
