by Mr.. Parker, the secretary OF the

statements Of the condition OF the

sufficiently recovered to be taken to
his home in Princeton, making the
journey in an automobile. Yesterday

WERE FRIENDS
IN CIVIL WAR
VETERANS MEET YESTERDAY
AFTER FoRTY-slx YEARS.

For the first time in 46 years w. ".
Chaf1n OF Fromberg and w. H. II.
Ellis Of Bozeman, two delegates to
the conference Of the Montana Chris
tian association that Is being held in
this city, met each other yesterday.
During the civil war in 1862 the
two gentlemen became acquainted,
Mr.. Chafin being a cavalry man in
the federal army while Mr.. Ellis be-
longed to the confederate cavalry.
In an engagement between the two
contending armies near Pea Ridge,
Mo, after q retreat BY the confeder-
ates from Springfield, Mo-, q squad

of truce entered the union lines to
bury their dead. Ellis was a member
of the squad sent to the union lines
and during the squads brief stay
there he became acquainted with Mr..
lChafin.
Visited Union Lines.
After departing from the federal
lines Mr.. Ellis returned to his post Of
duty never expecting to meet his
newly made acquaintance again. Not
until yesterday when the two war
veterans were engaged in telling Of
their experiences in the bloody con-
f1ict did they think of each other. In
reciting the travels made by each
during that memorable campaign, the
two former soldiers found that they
were the same two men who had met
and become acquainted during Mr..
Ellis visit in the confederate squad
to the lines OF the First Monroe cav
airy Of which Mr.. Chafln was a mem.
Der, to bury the confederate dead who
fell in the engagement near Pea
