last Sunday. An Illinois regiment was
to be moved and their friends from towns
all over Illinois came to bid the bows
good bye. There were their mothers
sisters and sweethearts. The scene was
pitiful. There were crying and shrek
ing all along the line as the boys marched
away. As they were proceeding to the
train shot was heard to ring out.
It was found that young woman had
drawn a pistol and shot one of the
soldiers. He was taken to the hospital,
but what was done with the girl, and the
reason for the shooting do not know.
People who come to the camp to bid
their friends farewell when being trans
