SICK PEOPLE AT THE UNION DEPOT

previous encampmentS so Tar as cases
for medical attendance were con-
cerned. Elaborate arrangements had
been made in this direction and forty
one physicians and surgeons were dis
tributed along the route of the parade,
ready to care for those who might be
taken sick or injured. Six ambulances,
each attended by special nurses, were
stationed at intervals along the line Of
march from Dayton and Western ave
nues to Smith park. AT each medical
station-there were ten along the line
of Marcia detail of the state militia
was stationed 50 that in case Of an ac-
cident or sickness the crowd could be
kept back.
Whether it was the GOODNESS of the
weather and the fact that the sun did
not pour down on the heads of the
marchers, or that the glorious climate
Of Minnesota is such that there was
no chance for prostrations, makes but
little difference. The result was the
same in any event, and Drs. Finnell
and Fulton and other physicians report
that there was nothing of any conse-
quence happened so far as sick and in
parade. AS the rear of the line reached
the several medical stations along the
route the ambulances and physicians
dropped in behind the column and

passed the six ambulances and doctors
