They had come from Fort Logan, the beautify post, nine miles from Denver, named in Lonor of the kero ot Atlanta and & number of other engagements in the late war, embarked at the fort at 11 o'clock on and loft the city on a special ame day, ‘Iherunto ntful save 1 the matter of delay and cor ctory telegrams.

The men were in excellent spirits, notwith- standing that they had subsisted mainly on lnnches along the journ and when they learn~d that Quartermaster Greene had tele- graphed to this city to have seventeen bar- Tels of hot coffee, mo: s, ready when the train should arrive, they felt aboutas happy 4s u bevy of Kkittens in a basket of wool. The regiment had o left Denver under the fmpression that upon its arrival in this city it would be given hoses and otherwise equipped for the campaign. Later a telegram was received by the col- onel stating that it had been suggested by General Ruger, commander of the depart- ment of Dakota, that it would be better to go to Pierre, 5. D., aud be equipped atthat point. “This indicated that it is the intention of the general to surround the bad lands into which the Indians are said 10 be retreating. In keeping with this information was an- other fact that the train would continue to Council Bluffs where, in ali probability, the men would be transferred to the North- western cars, Shortly before the dopo employe of the compan formed_the colo- nel that the orderto cross to the Bluffs had been countermanded and that the train would aceordingly remain on this side. These conflicting announcements caused some eyes to open wide and wonder when it would be known whether or not the regiment would not be ordered back home before the matter was brougbt to a close. When the train came t a stand in the depot Major Benbam, inspector of small arms practice of the department and a mem- ber of the Seventh, called upon his regi- mental associates, and the meeting was one of plensure Captain J. M. was reached an anno of Company H also paid his respects. His company had arrived terday morning from Leavenworth, and waited all day at the Fremont, Elkkhom & MissouriValley depot for the arrivaiof the muin part of the reggiment, without orders. The company comprises forty-cight men, every one of whom is as hearly as 4 good constitution, good living and a regular life can make. It is underthe command of Captain J. M. J. Sanno, an ofticer who en- tered West Point in 1859 and has since re- o in the service, having passed through the civil wae with honors. The lieutenants are J. B. Jackson and Armand 1. Lasscigne, The company was provided with ammuni- tion and other essentials and ready to go into action the moment it reaches the front. Captmn Sanno was ordered by his colonel to have his car sivitched to the Union Pacific depot, so that ¢ ||||nn|i H might leave with the other companies when the order should ~come to advar Colonel Merriam_ reported his arrival eneral Ruger in South Dakota, but at last accounts lust night, with his commaad, was sleeping in his cars on a sidetrack, A company of this regiment is still stationed at Camp Pilot Butte, Rock Springs, Wyo, under the command of Colonel Burt and Cap: tain Coolidge.
