Save for q statement from Mr.. Mann
that he expected to see tickets placed
in the field by both parties it was quiet
in the Republican party. Mr.. Mann de-
clared that while he still believed Il

wise and patriotic move. he was will
ing to be and expected to be the reg

to go and was joined by Justin Brink

to pass. On their arrival at Hutchin-

lieve the hard pressed soldiers, whom
they met at Cedar Mills ten miles out.
When the redskins saw the approach
of this new force, they gave up the
battle and disappeared. In this eight
hours fight. three men of the company
were killed, eighteen wounded and
four of the wagons left behind"
This action is known as the Battle
of Kelly's Bluff, and was fought about
twenty-five miles southwest from
where the City of Willmar is now To-
Gated.
ION June p, 1868 sperry enlisted in
Company B, Hatch's Battalion,-of Cav
airy, and spent most of the summer
as recruiting officer. His youngest
brother, Orlando, beat drum outside
of the recruiting Office during the
greater part of the day, much to the
annoyance of the feminine workers in
an adjoining millinery establishment.
In October 1863, the command began
its memorable march towards the Can
adam frontier. The official historian
of the battalion says, "This march will
long be remembered by those who
were participants, trudging along
weary and monotonous miles, thru
rain, snow and mud, exposed to high
winds and biting cold, sleeping in
tents, enduring hardships and fatigue
that tested to the fullest extent the
physical, mental and moral forces of
all. The daily march for the entire
distance was marked by the bodies of
horses, mules and oxen, unable to 20
farther from exhaustion and which
were short aggregating in number
25O." At Pembina the command went
into winter quarters, and until build
lngs could be erected the men slept in
tents with Temperature ranging from
30 to 40 degrees below zero. Mr..
Sperry was commissary sergeant, and
his position was by no means a happy
one for ratiOns were short a great
share Of the time. The expedition re-
suited in the capture of about 400
Sioux, among them Little Six and
Medicine Bottle, notorious leaders in
the Minnesota massacre, who were
hung at Fort Smelling in October.
1865. On June 9, 1866, members of
the battalion were mustered out, and
Mr.. Sperry returned to Harrison
where he resumed farming.
