made yesterday at the office of the ad
jutant general of Utah. As senior
'I guard officer, ( olonel Bourne becomes
1 commanding officer of the 1'tah guard
!l Colonel Bourne's record with the
Utah national mard dales back to
j March 14, 1898, since which time he
has been almost continuously with
I that organization, until it was hhif
tered Into federal service August f,
i 1917. In the meanwhile Colonel
Bourne had risen through various
ranks to be captain in the signal
corp., and then captain in A troop,
i First Utah cavalr, in which capacity
ho served on the Mexican border.
Soon after he was promoted to bo ma
j most entirely w ith tho regiment,
was converted to Hold artillery. Just
after the outbreak of the world war.
'ho became major in that organization,
which was known as tho 110th field ar
I lillery. On the promotion of Colonel
1 liichard W Young to be brigadier gen
eral. Major Bourne became lieutenant
; colonel, In which rank he served, al-
most entirely w tlh the regiment,
throughout tho remainder of the war.

near Bordeaux. "Prance, preparing to
go to tho front in the contemplated

and was stationed with it at the Pre

Since Colonel Bourne's woild war
