stored.
The Old War Horse. G. F. Prescott,
returned to Tracy Sunday afternoon.
The boys will call him General Prescott
hereafter
"A regular court martial convened
here last Wednesday evening after the
encampment j. G.. Zieske acted as
Judge advocate and passed sentence as
light as possible. by each one paying
fine to Fritz Koehne, and in return re-
ceived whatever they called for.
The depot at Essig was struck by
lightning Saturday night and burnt to
lhe ground. Quite a loss to the COM
pany, but they intend to rebuild and
put in the latest improvements.
&C. F. Prescott and j. G. Zieske
took in Redwood Falls last Saturday.
Prescott says Redwood is the place to
pass away leisure hours.
Mrs Henry Goetsche went to Fair
fax last Saturday to spend Sunday, re-
turning home Monday evening.
Mr. Fred Zieske, G.. Arndt and
VIM. Snassburg of Nicollet Co. were
up attending the encampment last
week. and had a good time.
The G. A. R. Encampment of
Brown and Redwood Counties came off
last Wednesday. On Tuesday heavy
rain set in, which had u good deal to do
with the programme for Wednesday.
Wednesday morning brought more rain
but the boys went to work and procured
the Harmony Hall, to have a good
time in spite. About nine o'clock it
commenced to clear up and telegram
was received from Redwood Falls that
one hundred and thirteen tickets had
been sold for the eneampment, and a
big lot were to come from New Ulm.
The commander gave orders that at
half past eleven, sharp. the procession
would form at the Hall and march to
she grove in the following order. Slee-
Dy Eye Band and Speakers, Redwood
Falls Postand Drum Corps, Sons of Vets
and daughters of Vets, then Springfield
Post and New Ulm. then Sleepy Eye
Post, Sons of Vets and Sleepy Eye Ar
tillery. Arriving at. the Grove, dinner
not being ready yet, Comrades Kobe
and Hale of Redwood Post and others en-
tertained the crowd until dinner time.
When dinner was announced the Com
rades marched up to the table, but quite
B number were crowded out by citizens
and others until the second table. Quite
s. little bit of dissatisfaction arose, but
all was made right again. After din
ner, speeches were made by Dr.. Well
come and E. G.. Sanders. 5The Grafton
by Mr.. M. G. Robertson was announced
perfect by everyone. Mr.. r. is q good
and fluent speaker and if he lives to be
few years older it will take good one
to get away with him. In fact every
thing turned out better than was ex-
pected the day before. Much credit is
due to our Relief Corps as they did ev-
erything in their power to make things
comfortable. At the conclusion of
speeches the Women's Relief Corps
presented to Wesley Greene Post a
beautiful hammer. Elder Sanders, Judge
Weber of New Ulm and j. Kobe re-
sponded to the ladies compliments.
The next encampment was voted to be
held at New Ulm some time next sum-
mer. Col. Pfaender assured the old
Vets q good time.
