WORKING FOR SPECIAL TRAIN
EFFORTS TO BRING UTAH SOLD
IERS HOME TOGETHER.
Committee Representative to Go to
San Francisco Today - Mayor
Clark Succeeded By A. F. Barnes.

The effort to bring the Utah battery
men home. by special train, after being
mustered out in San Francisco, still is
being continued by the committee of
citizens. Today Mr.. Smith of the COM
mittee will go to San Francisco to ar
range, if possible, for the train, pro-
viding, of course, it can be done with
out buying the locomotive, cars and
one or two stations en- route. Negotia-
tons are now under way with the rail-
road company. and it is hoped that the
lowest obtainable rate per man between
San Francisco and Salt Lake will be
soon offered Until this matter is set
tied, the committee on transportation
will have no end of anxiety over this
special train infant, who has grown
prodigiously since he first saw the light
of day.
Governor Wells has decided that
there shall be no parading by the
troops through the streets of Ogden.
The train is TO stop there for one hour
only, while the boys have breakfast.
The published story about the send
ing of the committee with a band to
escort the boys home is a poppy-tinted
fake, according to members of the conf
mittee, who say such a proposition was
never considered.
