whipped at Stone River. The old Four

it was not whipped by long shot. l

in the morning OF the first day. before
we had our breakfast, and we were in

second line of battle. along the Nash

That ended the battle for that day.
Now, Capt. Barnes, how, does 1t como
that Crittenden stemmed the tide when
he was on the extreme left of the army ?

Central City and did not know that
the I'd and Sd Colo. were organized in
1862. Cos. A and B of the I'd were
organized in '61, and were with the 1st
Inf. in the campaign in New Mexico in
the Spring of '62. In the latter part of
February, 1868. the I'd Inf started from
Fort Lyon for the States. met the enc

ritory. and drove them back. They
were also in the battle of Honey
Springs. The Sd Inf. about the same
time left Denver. going down the Platte
River to Fort Leavenworth, thence to
Pilot Knob, Mo-, guarding the termi-
nus of the Iron Mountain Railroad with
the 1st Neb. In November, '63, the I'd

Unexpected Government Action Will
Close Many Saloons in Northern
Minnesota.

An unexpected enforcement of an
old government statute in the matter
of selling liquor in Minnesota, has
been decided upon by Special Indian
Agent Johnson. The old law passed
by the federal government in pur-
suance of a treaty obligation with
Indians has never been strictly Sen-
forced as regards the sale Of liquor
to Indians in the country included in
the treaty. The law was passed In
1857 and it prohibits traffic in liquor
in the counties Of Becker, Hubbard
and part Of Itasca, and parts Of
Polk, Clearwater, and Norman coun-
|. ties. This is a sweeping enforcement
and will close dozens of saloons af-
I fecting such towns as Detroit, Fra
zee, Lake Park, Park Rapids. Foston,
and others. A few saloons in 9 por-
tion Of these counties and in other
parts Of Minnesota included in this
] old Indian treaty have been previous

been securing evidence in other
towns OF the. sale Of liquor to In
sdians and the result IS the radical
action above stated.
