As « boy not yet out of his teens, Major Ostrander journeyed west- ward to Omaha where he seryed in the Quarter Master's department as 1866, He was a clerk attached to Co. d battalion, 18th . 8. In- fantry, but had never seen his com- mand and having a desire to report to the captain of his company and o wear the uniform which he had | not yet been privileged to do hefore his retirement, he sought an order transfering him to Fort Reno where Captain Dandy was in command, Given permission he journeyed to Fort Kearney, Nebraska, from | which point he expected to make his | way north to Fort Laramie.

Os- trander of New York, then a private soldier in the United States army, has just recently visited the scenes of those troublesome days on the great plains of Wyoming when danger from Indian and outlaw lurked on every hand. Fort Reno and Fort Phil Kearny, both notable United States army forte were established to maintain troops as a protection to the Ks and depredations of hostile boyhood as an army private, Major Ostrander dropped into Casper re- cently and looking up his old friend R. 8. Ellison, of Midwest Refining company, told him of his cherished desire. When told the journey hy motor to Reno was nearly 90 miles distant, the aged veteran, now near: ing 80 years of age, declared his abil- ity to travel five times that distance, so a trip was arranged for him and his cousin, Mrs. Hogg of Seattle, with whom the Major will spend ¢he rest of his dayr on the coast. One can hardly vision the thrills enveloping the aged veterans as he set foot on the very spot where nearly 60 years ago he saw service as a soldier. His enthusiasm was beyond bounds and he exhibited wonderful vitality of spirit despite his age and the long journey, and there was no ove in the entire party who appenred more fresh nor more enthusiastic {(n tramping over the area upon which rested the stockade and fort bulldings. While almost all marks of the fort have been obliterated by time and through decay, there still remains in vista on the skyline the contour of the peaks across the Powder River valley, while here and there are to be seen on the old fort site grounds evidences of where stood some of the buildings; the bastians; the saw: mill; the corral and outlines of the old fire places of the buildings, Then the Major located the point ere the flagstaff stood and fixed there the site where a marker {s to he placed at some tim. in the fu- ture. Members of the party each fashioned thelr InitinIs on a stone and a pile of rocks mark the spot visited on that day, May 5, 1925, While the Major ay the perty went from point to point while he told grnhipcally his recollections of that early period and occasion ly a member of the party would pick up a button from a soldier's unl- frm, an exploded musket shell or some other relic left upon the scene after the fort had been abandoned Many of those relics have been rought to Casper and will be ex- hibited at an early date at some con- venient place in the clty.

Price, un- der-sheriff, for alleged embezzlement of funds of his office, was expected to involve other officials of the city administration. Rumors persisted in the wake of ’s arrest that the city’s drive for honesty would result in similar charges being filed against other of- ficials. City Accountant Merritt de- nied the report, however, and said that so far as he knew no one was implicated with Price in his alleged embezzlement. Merritt said Price had several times given his personal check for money which had accrued to Price in his office routine.
