p~rivates out of the thirty-six composing

be ready for. the early start.
Adit. Gen. Sitter telegraphed to the
Burlington asking for transportation for
the Buffalo company from Gillette to
Crawford. where rhe Burlington connects
with the Union Pacific. The request was
refused, so the Buffalo company will go
by wagons to Douglas and from there
here, by the Union Pacific, as transporta-
ton has been granted to all companies by
that road.
The people of Laramie are making
elaborate preparations for the encamp-
ment. Hydrants connected with the city
water system has been placed at the most
convenient places on the grounds. The
encampment grounds will probably be
lighted by electric lights connected with
the city system.

the officers commanding the regiment Of
their intention to take part:
Co. A, Laramie.
