Col. PAT DOMAIN, native OF Pensacola, Fla o.,
and an ex confederate, was invited to spsak TO
the veterans at Moorhead. Minn, recently, and
among other things he said: mo man can so
fully appreciate the vaior and the knightliness
of the soldiers of the union as a confederate
who fought against them. l salute in you the
