Prepared for winter the Omaha delega-
ton of 1876 people arrived at the station In
Cheyenne at $40 Friday morning, and were
met by a large crowd of citizens, the Ninth
cavalry band and cavalry escort, which
met the party because General Frederick
Smith was member of the party.
Fifty automobiles awaited the party
more than they could use. They marched
to the postoffice, where the machines were
lined up. There they took the automo-
before 8 O'Clock.
The military review witnessed at the post
surpassed in many way the events of the
day. The fact that General Smith planned
to come out with the Omaha party was re-
sponslble for an unexpected treat. He had
every troop out. They passed in grand re-
view before the Omaha party as well as
hundreds of visitors and were reviewed by
General Smith.
Under blue skies, and with famous Wyom-
ing sunshine, the scene at Fort Russell, was
as brilliant as has ever been witnessed at
that post.

than $25,OO0, 100 of capital. They are said to
