thirty deeds were executed in favor of mem
berS of their families and other persons. thus
conveying large amount of valuable real
estate in Springfield. In the face of this ap-

for an encampment at Chicago or elsewhere.
Adjt.-Gen Wickham states that if there is to
be encampment at Chicago he is not cog
niZnnt of it. and that the soldier boys will have
to foot the expense accounts themselves. The
only encanpment that he has any Knowledge
OF is one at Nevada. Vernon county, by the

for by the members of the companies partic.
