Co. K Leaves For FARGO.

IN town Wnen 1t was learned that co. X
was under orders to take the evening
train for Fargo. A parade was given in
the afternoon and the band was on duty
from this hour until the leaving of the
uniformed boys at 8:15.
Soon after ? o'clock the boys we're
lined up for roll call on the common
near the station. The entire populace
of Dickinson and many visitors from
neighboring towns were present. Ser
geant Archie Granteer called the roll,
after which Judge Campbell passed the
cigars among the boys and then came
the hand shaking. 1t was a touching
scene and there were many husky voices
in the crowd. When the train hove in
sight that was to take the special car
from this place and the bugler sounded
the final call, there were traces of tears
on many faces. Perhaps some wondered
if their boys and husbands would be
safely returned to them.
The boys were loudly cheered as their
train moved out of the station.

GERS of the regiment and the state author
tiles that no married men be enlisted

have to be left to the judgment Of thu
company commander" In view of tn,
