For San Francisco.
HAWLEY. WILL NOT GO
IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A DIS
LOCATED SHOULDER.
Was Injured In Friendly Wrestling
Bout-The Train Leaves Over the
Rio Grande Western at 1850
Artillerymen Happy to Get Away
-Privates Savage and Jensen Ill.

Captain Jennings proceeds with MS
battery to San Francisco at 1880, noon,
today.
The final orders came yesterday IN
the shape of a telegram from the chief
quartermaster at Denver to the quar-
termasters department at Fort Doug
las, ordering transportation for the
battery over the Rio Grande Western
from here to Ogden, and then over the
Southern Pacific from that point
While the train will not pull out I'M
til 1890, the boys will be at the depot
about IL o'clock, to give them all time
for handshaking. 1t is also likely the
Red Cross ladies will serve lunch to
the departing batterymen at the depot
WILL RIDE DOWN.
The recruits will not march down
from the fort superintendent Read
of the Salt Lake Street Railway COM
pany kindly consented to take the
boys down, and they will go through
to the train, so that there Will be
little chance for any demonstration
The reason for this is that the boys
are not uniformed, and would, there
fore not make a very good appearance
from a military point of view. They
are as fine body of men as have ever
gone out, but without the usual equip
ment a street parade would not snow
them off to any advantage.
The battery will take travel rationS
enough for three days. and, besides,
ten days field rations, which will be
their subsistence upon arriving at the
Preside grounds.
There are three members of the bat
terry who will not leave today. for the
reason that they are in the hospital
under the doctors care. They are
Quartermaster Sergeant Cyrus l.. Haw-
ley, Privates Ray T. Savage and Chris
tan Jensen. Sergeant Hawley is suf-
fering from a dislocated shoulder, and
the circumstances attending his inJur-
les will probably cost him his present
position of quartermaster, on account
of the delay. 1t seems that Sergeant
Hawley left camp Friday and went
over to Wagener's brewery, where he
was joined by several members of the
battery A friendly wrestling bout
took place, with the result that Ser
geant Hawley's arm was dislOcated at
the shoulder, and several small bones
fractured. The injured sergeant was
brought back to the post Friday even
ing about o'clock. and the following
morning was reported sick at the hos
pital.
Ray Savage, whose illness was re-
ported some weeks ago. is somewhat
improved, but it is doubtful if he can
ever rejoin the battery. The same may
be said of Private Jensen, who fell I'M
conscious at drill the other morning.
THE BOYS ALL HAPPY.
When the news that final orders to
move had been received reached the
barracks, there was great jubilatiOn.
Everything was put in readiness, and
this morning there will be nothing to
do but to roll up blankets and load
the stuff on wagons. Most of the men
went down town last evening to say
farewell to friends, and the handshak-
ing will be finished at the train today.
Captain Jennings wore d smile all day
Lieutenant Murphy wore his new yell
low silk shirt in honor of the occasion,
and Lieutenant Stacey went down
town to see Mike Hogan and tell him
the news.
