at Platte Bridge at the time Lieut..
Collins was killed. / do not see how he
could have been at the bridge and with
us on the Gen. Connors expedition at

the Powder River expedition. I was
stationed at Platte Bridge the Winter

from Fort Laramie to South Pass. We
were ordered to report TO Fort Lara

how we relieved them by dividing our

that they are willing to turn the Re

AT least such the trend of campaign
events seem to be, and Mr.. Taft's cleo

that only about II fighting days of the

The Republicans have certainly been
