List of Travellers.
The departure of the G. A. r. veterans
for the national encampment last evening
created noticeable interest in the city. AT
o'clock about one hundred and fifty mem
bers of the different posts met at Window
hall to escort those leaving over the Mime
apolis & st. Louis road, and the procession,
headed by George n. Morgan post and MIN
neapolis drum corps, marched TO the depot
Here farewellS were exchanged and the de-
parting comrades boarded the train. The
scene was hilarious one, and differed con-
siderably from the scenes at the depOtS
twenty-four years ago when these same
men left their homes for the war.
An event which caused great amusement
was the presentation by Mrs Craigh of
a mammoth wooden spoon to Col. Ses-
sions. The colonel responded CALAMITY,
and assured the fair donor that he would
never permit it to trail i'll the dust, etc. AS
the train drew out of the depot three cheers
proposed by Ben Cole were given heartily.
