FREE TRAIN FUND.


San Francisco. Cal. Aug. 1o.-The
following Round Robin was signed by
Colorado people here tonight:
To the People of Colorado:
The Colorado volunteers We're APP
prised upon their arrival at this port of
the effort their friends were making to
secure n free train for their transpor-
tation homeward. This encouraged
them grently, for it gave them the as
surance that their pay and mileage
could be utilized on their return for
their own and the support of their
families while seeking employment.
Many of them may find their little
store exhausted before permanent posi-
tons are secured and their anxiety for
definite information as to what they
may expect from the people of their
state Is but natural.
The news from Nebraska has de-
pressed them We are giving them all
the encouragement we can, and most
earnestly ask the good people Mt home
to do for our boys what every state,
save one. has done. Having begun the
good work, it would be n reproach to
the fair name of our commonwealth If
it should result in failure. and prove
an ineXpressible disappointment to one
of the most gallant regiments that ever
fought under the flag of the republic.
We appeal to your generosity. your
patriotism. and your sense of Justice In
their behalf. The regiment will be
mustered out on the 18th DroXimo.
Whatever we do must be, therefore,
done at once. Signed by Charles S.

Adjutant General; Adair Wilson. S. X.

the amount of money now actually in
