cial Northern Pacific train carrying As
men from Butte and all of the Dillon
company. At Garrison coaches will be

The railroad company has not yet de-
cided upon the exact schedule OF the
special train. but IL will probably leave
Anaconda before 3 O'Clock.
The early hour at which the compa-
MES will leave this city knocks out an
arrangement which had been made last
night to give the boys "A good send-off.
II was proposed to have "A parade on
Friday morning. with marches through
the principal streets. The procession
would have been made up of the Ana
conda band. the q. A. r., the two COM
panies of volunteers. several orders and
"A file of citizens. Owing to the early
hour at which the special caves Ana
conda. however, these arrangements
will likely be not carried out. There
will be some sort Of a nd-of how
ever. and there will doubtless be an
immense number Of people at the sta
ton TO see the boys off on their jour
ney.
To-day a committee of citizens will
take up the matter of providing for the
material wants of the soldiers while en-
route to Helena. The aid OF the ladies
of the city is to be enlisted in this work,
and companies X and l. will no doubt
cave Anaconda with lunch baskets
crammed full of good things.
