1 The st. Paul Globe on last Mon.
day made quite a kick against the
coming of the Twentyfourth U. S. In
fantry which is to be stationed at
Fort Smelling this fall, because the
members are Afro-Americans. g..
The Salt Lake Tribune said of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, after it had
been at Fort Douglas one year, that
when it was firstSordered there it was
opposed to it's coming, but after a
years service it had proved to be one
:of the best regiments ever serving at
Douglas. -
When it returned from Cuba the
citizens asked for it's return. The
following is quoted from report of
their reception, October list, taken
from the Salt Lake Herald:
THE gallant Twenty-fourth is
home. The coming Of the soldiers
was the occasion for demonstrations
OF JOY, mingled with sorrow-gratiica-
ton that so many of the heroes Of! the
war had safely returned. and regret
