Robert Love, member of the state
soldiers home, was here Friday on
his way home from Washington, Iowa,
where the survivors Of the Croker
brigade held their annual reunion
this year. Crocker's brigade was COM
posed OF Iowa soldiers and the boys
got their first taste of real war at
Shiloh in 1862. "Bob," as all the boys
at the home call him, never misses a
brigade reunion, and this year as u.s.
ual the veterans had a very pleasant
visit. Bob said there we're Is of his
old company left aud over a 100 of his
regiment present. This was his first
trip to this side of the state, he being
a Black Hills pioneer. He said he
wanted to see as much of the ''cow-
country as he could, going west on
the Milwaukee and occupying a sleep
er where he could enjoy the comforts
of a modern palace car. The writer
tried to have Bob remain over for a
visit In Canton but he was tired and
wanted to get home, where he could
rest and enjoy the comforts of a real
home, and tell Jack Farquhar and
Major Pendergast, Capt. Allison, Capt.
Wagner and others of his trip, and
why he returned from Salem to Sioux
Falls and then to Canton. Bob says
half-fares In the Black Hills country
will do, but when n gets out among
beardless ticket agents vino don't
know a half-fare permit from a cayuse,
travel becomes tiresome and a burned
bore. Bob never uses pro fame lang
uage but when he struck Salem he
was mad enough to hire an auto and
cut across the country without compass
or canteen.
