to examination of the officers of the
company and close questioning by Col.

pany commanders, paper by Surgeon
Fuller on the care of men at State En-
campment going to and returning there
from, and a very interesting account of
the campaign against the Indians which
so sadly resulted in the slaughter of Gen.
Custer and his men on the Little Big
Horn river. Capt. Edgerley participated
in this battle with detachment of
Clusters forces that engaged with the
Indians all day but was not drawn into
the vortex where Gen. Custer and his
brave troops persisted, overwhelmed by
ten times their number of Indians.
An interesting exercise of the evening
was squad drill by g men of Co. "E''
under command of Corporal Brahn. The
work was performed with promptness
and precision that met the hearty APP

visitors.
