Reception Wednesday Evening

The reception and rally planned for

proved to be all that was anticipated.
The citizens responded nobly to the
call to turn out and meet the company
before it departed for the concentra-
ton camp at Fort Lincoln.
The concert by the Valley City Mu-
nicipal band was given in the street
before the Armory, and the company
| gave short drill out of doors. At the
close of the band concert the Armory
filled rapidly, and when the exercises
opened with Mayor Moe presiding, the
crowd was as large as could be &C.
cOmmodated.
Hon. A. P .Paulson was introduced
and gave a fine speech. He was fol-
lowed by Hon. M. J. Englert who also
made telling address. selection by
the band was then given. Mayor Moe
then appointed Commander Henry
Real, veteran of the Civil war, and
Major Mudgett, veteran of the Span
ish-American war, to escort Captain
Richie to the platform. Captain
Richie was so impressed with the
loyal reception rendered his boys that
he responded with grand effort which
was greatly appreciated by the audi
ence.
Mayor Moe then presented the COM

to the company fund to supply few
auxiliary articles that are not con-
tanned in the regular rations. Those
who donated the amount were James
Grady, w. w. Smith and c. F. Mud
gett. Other donations are reported but
not specified.
After the program an informal dance
continued until two o'clock. Hearings

fullest extent.

of the organization an incentive to do
their duty in maintaining the honor of
the state and the nation.
