Fort Smelling Paragraphs

Fort Smelling Paragraphs.
The residence of Mr.. John Wahling, the
courteous and efficient chief clerk of the Or
dinance department at General Terry's head
quarters, Fort Smelling, was on Thursday
evening last the scene of brilliant and joy
Gus Assem- blage of ladies and gentlemen who
made an impromptu incursion upon that
gentleman's domicie aud rendered the fam
lily surprise party of the most pronounced
type. The visitors were from st. Paul and
comprised relations and personal friends of
Mr.. Wahling and his estimable wife, who for
many years residents of this city, have en-
shrined themselves in the hearts of vast
number of our local population. The ap-
proach Of the new day was far advanced
when after many protestations of the de-
lightful time had and threatening an early
repetition OF their visit, the reluctant hand
shaking was INDUCED in and the merry party
babe their genial host and hostess an affec-
tionate farewell and returned to town.
The usual tranquility at Fort Smelling was
somewhat disturbed on Friday last by run
away, which, for time, seriously threatened
the disintegration of the anatomy of Mr..
Dennis Phelan, the popular chief engineer
at department headquarters. The gentleman
named proceeded in q cutter from the execu-
tive building en- route to the reservation
water works, when the horse he was driving,
high spirited and valuable animal, became
frightened and unmanageable, and started
at high rate of speed across the open prai-
rie With great presence of mind and almost
superhuman effort Mr.. Phelan succeeded in
forcing the maddened animal into a snow
drift rom whence both horse and driver
were extra ted without material damage.
With the approval of the secretary of war,
leave of absence for two months on sergeon IS
certificate of disability, with permission to
leave the division OF the Missouri is granted
Capt. Louis NJ. Maus, assistant surgeon
United States army at Fort Sneling.
Major Samuel Brock, adjutant general of
the department of Dakota, who has been
spending brief vacation in the east, re-
turned TO department headquarters Saturday.
