Edgerly, U. s. A., now stationed at Concord
as inspector for New Hampshire, found manl
old friends in Washington when he was her,
| last week with Gov. Ramsdell, and received
much social attention from club and arm,
friends. Capt. Edgerly has brilliant RECORD

came to the soldiers camp shot through an,
through the body and wounded in q manne

the man had walked several miles an,
climbed high hill in order to reach the cam
and secure medical attendance. He told me
