Judge Witten, who was the only
Confederate soldier in uniform at the
q. A. r. reunion held In Minneapolis

to the extremely warm weather which
kept many of the veterans out of the

ber Of heat prostrations and several
deaths. Mr.. Witten says many of
the old soldiers are too feeble to make
long march over the streets Of big

out of the line when the band strikes
up the famous old war songs and the
drums begin to rattle.
