Davenport, Oct 23--Barracks are be-
ing erected at the Rock Island arsenal
for about 600 men, who will be brought
there from the national army canton
ments all over the country to be trained
in ordnance work. This Is the largest
number of troops that have been sta
toned in the tri-cities or vicinity since
the war started.
The course Of study will probably
comprise the same training as is be-
ing given now to the ordnance enlisted
corps men at the arsenal, about $50 OF
whom are now receiving instruction
The men will be detailed from the va
rious cantonments and will receive
special training for about two months
and then will be sent back to their
regiments, probably to serve with
headquarters companies.
1t is expected that the barracks will
be completed soon and the soldiers
will soon be housed in them and their
instruction started

Platte river. The Indians stampeded
the cattle, killed three men and then
charged ON the rest. A vOlley stopped
them for the moment and the herders
took refuge in the river, wading be-
hind the bank on their way to Fort
Kearney. Buffalo Bill fell behind and
when he suddenly looked up at the
bank above he saw an Indians head
