station last night and, ten thousand
threats cried goodbye to a crowd of
their fellow townsmen who boarded
the nine O'Clock train for Columbus
Barracks.
| Kenosha's second conting gent for Col
umbus Barracks assembled at the
Armory shortly after eight CLOCK yes
terday evening and escorted by the
Since band and thousands of their
friends and neighbors marched to the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway sta
ton for the purpose of entraining for
their journey to camp. A large crowd
was already present when they reached
there and the people continued to pour
in. The train, which was due to leave
sat 8:45 was Is MINUTES late and did
not arrive until nine O'Clock but still
the people continued to come.
They filled the space between Mar
ket street to the street north of the
station and from the walls of the
buildings on West Main street clear
|
on the west side of the tracks. They
covered the roofs Of the station houses
and the roofs of the buildings on West
Main street; they covered the roofs of
ral the available freight cars and some
even climbed the telephone poles They
stood on the railroad track and be-
tween the tracks so that policemen had
to drive them off the track when the
train pulled in.
All the time the SINCE band kept
the large and ever increasing crowd
entertained playing patriotic. airs while
cheer upon cheer rent the air amid the
waving of hands, hats, handkerchiefs,
and flags. Those who could get close
enough, and it was an enthusiastically
small portion of that big assemblage,
put in the time bidding their friends
among the departing patriots kindly
farewell, but the greater part of them
had to be content in stretching them
selves up on tip-toes and craning their
necks in an effort to see what was go
ing on.
At last nine O'Clock came and with
it the special train which was to take
Kenosha s second allotment of men to
the Columbus Barracks. The band
struck up fThe Star Spangled Ban
ner" and the boys got aboard amid
the cheering from thousands of threats
and cries bidding them success in their
training and Godspeed on their voy-
age across the briny to fight the hated
Hun.
/ 1t only required very few minutes
for the Kenosha boys to get aboard for
there was special coach set apart for
them and at five minutes past nine
the train pulled out bearing them away
into the night and on their way to do
and dare and perhaps give up their
lives that the rest of US may have a
safe place in which to live.
There were sixty-six of this second
contingent from Kenosha and Kenosha
county to be sent to Columbus Bar
racks. Five of these were from the
county and sixty-one from the city.
They went smiling and happy with a
look of determination upon their faces
which BODIES no good to the kaiser OF
any Of his minions.

10 'clock this morning in good shape
and will be distributed among the same
companies as were their friends and
acquaintance who went from here on
July 6.
