Utah gave the Sixteenth infantry a
rousing reception yesterday, both in
this city and in Ogden. Tremendous
crowds turned out at both places to see
the soldiers and bid them God speed.
As a matter OF fact there was an ova-
ton all the way along the line, every
one turning out to cheer the trains as
they passed by, to wave their hats at
the soldiers and cheer.
The trains carrying the regiment, as
they passed along the line from Fort
! Sherman, Boise Barracks and Fort
Spokane, were accorded a reception
/ which spoke plainly of the patriotic
| feeling which exists among the people
| OF the country. At every station crowds
We're out to cheer the soldiers as they
| passed through. Pocatello put on its
gala attire. All the buildings were be-
| decked with the national colors and
! nearly every man, woman and child
wore small flags, or red, white and blue
| ribbons. The first section reached Po-
catello about l o'clock. and was fol-
/ lowed soon after by the second and
/ third. As each section arrived it was
| met with the cheers and hurrahs of
the public, who crowded about the de-
pot to get a. look at the boys in blue
The Boys Brigade" IF Episcopal
| church, were out in full uniform, as
also were the school children, and great
demonstrations We're made by all. The
! local band was at the depot and gave
serenade to the troops
AT OGDEN.
Every town through which the trains
passed was out in full force. At Cache
Junction there were great demonstra-
| lions, but at Ogden was by far the
largest gathering this side Of Spokane
! The first section pulled into Ogden
about $50 and was followed soon after
! by the remaining sections. At the de-
! pot was assembled a crowd so large
! that 1t was almost impossible to get
the train through it. Everybody SEEM
ed to be out and they accorded the
| troops such a reception as seldom falls
to the lot of soldiers in times of peace.
As the train came to a stop at the
depot whistles were blown, bells rung
| and the people cheered with lustiness
that threatened to strain their throats
The officers and men of the Sixteenth
! infantry were greatly pleased with the
demonstrations made for them and
| they returned the compliment by dof-
find their hats and cheering in re-
Spouse. There were a great many peo-
| pie in Ogden who had friends on the
train and they pressed up to it in or
der to shake the hands of the soldiers
Governor Wells and his staff met the
regiment at Ogden and as soon as the
| train had stopped they boarded it and
were soon welcoming their old friends
| back to Utah. Besides the governor
and his party there were a number of
