SECOND MINNESOTA
is ORDERED HOME

Washington, Dec. 20.-The Mime
sofa brigade headquarters and the
Min sofa Second infantry. now sta.
toned on the border, have been or
dered home, along with about $1,000
national guard troops from other
states. The movement will be com
pleted by Jan. 3, or as soon as trans
portation facilities can be provided.
When completed the movement will
leave about $4,000 national guard
troops on the border. Among these
are the First Minnesota infantry regi-
ment and five Minnesota batteries Of
artillery.
The force of $4,000 is the minimum
strength which the wal department
estimates 1t will be necessary to keep
there, in addition to the regulars, for
the protection of border life and prop
erty. The only hope the $4,000 re-
naming troops have OF returning
home is a change In the administra-
tons policy which would result in the
withdrawal of General Rershing's
forces from Mexico. Army officers
here agree that when P%ershing is
withdrawn his men will be used as a
border patrol.

There was little cause for any rad

opened on a steady basis compared
with Tuesday. There were no real
choice offerings among the early ar
rivals, bulk of the steering offerings
being on the medium short fed order.
Fat lows and heifers got much the
same treatment as on the previous
day, and prices matched up we'll COM
pared with quotations in vogue on
the previous day.
Outlet for stock cattle was fair
and as a general thing the deal was
steady compared with the second day
of the week. Best feeders on early
rounds sold up to $500.
The hog deal opened steady with
Tuesday, with bulk of sales at $40
@9.S5, and tops at $1,000.
Estimated receipts of sheep we're

steady deal in this division of the
