fFy. Notwithstanding the fact that the
day was cold and disagreeabie, a goodly
number turned out.
of the Mexican war: Harley Mowrey. aged
n; Matthew Caldwell aged a; Samuei
Campbell. aged %; Dennis VIM. aged 20;
G. x. Stoddard. aged a. and George
Glines, aged IA. There Were three veterans

number of the veterans of the Blackhawk
Indian wars. Two daughters of the Con-
federate officer. ID. c. Forrest. who also
served in the Mexican war. were IN at
| tendance.
Notable ones in the crowd were Charles
Decker. who carried the first United
States mail across the plains from 1891 TO
pony express through Nevada in 1861. Mr..
, Ross has now in his possession the
jumper which he wore on that occasion.
and in which may be seen several bullet
holes reminders of fne memorable ride
! through the Indian country.
Matthew Caldwell was also one of the
notables Of the gathering. He was a pris-

of George Adams, was in attendance and
furnished music for the occasion. A
tempting feast of good things was spread
merry as they jostled one another in a
happy mood. There were good things
enough piled uDon the tables TO have
made d whole regiment of the brave boys
who are fighting in PARKWAY lands feel
comfortable under their cartridge belts.
The affair will wind up with dance to-
night at the opera house.
