was formed on Jefferson in charge of
Major II. ]. Abraham, who was marsh

marched to the st. Paul depot. In
the parade were the home military
company, exemption boards, represent
atlveS of the Council of Defense, and
Loyalty Legion. There were two
bands in the parade, also the Columbus
Cadets and Junior Volunteer Company.
The streets were filled to the
utmost, along the line of march,
and at the depot, where it was
difficult to get anywhere near the
train in which the selected men were
to be carried to Camp Grant, Rock
ford, Ill. The train departed promptly
on time.
The day was not as pleasant as it
might have been, dark clouds covered
the sky and following the heavy rains
the air seemed filled with moisture
The city was gaily decorated with
flags and bunting.
