THE ROSTER OF THE REGIMENT ,
Cunfl luting Order * \VliluIi Cause
tlio Command to Ilotualn
Over u M lit In the
Gate City.
nlpht , nprccnbly to the nnn ounccincnt
In TUB llr.B the Sovcnth Infantry arrived In
the city nt the Union Pacific depot. They
hud como from Foil Logim , the beautiful
post , ninn miles from Denver , named In honor
of the hero ot Atlanta and a number of other
enuMgcmcnts In the late war.
They embarked nt the fort ntll o'clock on
Wednesday and left the city on a special
train at ! i o'clock of the same day. M'he run to
tills city was uneventful save in the matter
of delay nnd contradictory telefra'ns. These
nt times tested the patience ol the boys nnd
nt other times caused them to wonder when
the ohjcctof their destination would bo tnaclo
known to them ,
The command comprised tlio following
companies : . .
II company. Captain T. S. Klrtinnd , IJcu-
tenant 0. S. Yotinif and Lieutenant F. H.
Sargent.
0 company. Captain J. T. Van Orsdcll ,
JJoutonant a. Molvcr.
1) company , Unptnln R H. M. Kcndrlck
'
nnd Second Llciitentimt Robert'Alexander.
K company , Captain 1. . . R Burnett and Second
end Lioutcifunt II. T. Ferguson.
! 'company , Lieutenant ! ) . A. I'Vcderlck nnd
Lieutenant .J. H. M. Taylor.
O company , Captain WHlliun Qulnton.
Lieutenant D. L. Ilowell and Lieutenant A.
P IlufiliiKton.
These companies comprise 20:1 : men. They
\vcroundcr the coimimnd of Colonel Henry
C. Merriatn , brother of Lieutenant Mcrriuin ,
who six years a o stood at the head of the
ninrksmca of the nrmy. He is well known In
this city , and In fuel was married to a young
Indy who for years hnd mndo this city her
home. Ho has hoe. , sick for some time , but
prudent speculation In Idaho will enable him
to retire In n. double1 sense nnd enjoy the honor
which his career ns a soldier and marksman
have earned for him.
tVlonel Merriatn himself Is the inventor of
the Merrlam knapsack , a contrivance- which
removes thrs weight of the soldier's pack from
his back and Imposes It upon his hips. This
affords a relief which soldiers greatly appre
ciate. The Itnapsp.ck , however , is being ex
perimented with.
Lieutenant A. B. Johnson , a DriRht , capa-
hle , young and experienced ofllcer , acted as
adjutant , \vhilo Lieutenant L. 13. Greene ,
well known in this city when ho wns nldo-do-
camp to General Crook , acted ns quarter
master.
Major H. M. O'ltellly is the surgeon ac-
compaiiyhip the command , lie has uccn in
the army since 'U-i and it teems us if ho Is the
thorouuti and accomplished gentleman to
have round when hospital stewards are In
demand.
The train hearing the command consisted
of six tourist sleepers , in which were quar
tered the I'ullnmti "Transit "
the men , , ona
Hat car , two buggugo car > , one stock car con
taining four horses nnd four mules and ono
car containing u rcdcross ambulance.
When the colonel wns asked how ho ex
pected to get along without wagons , ho re
marked they would have to do the beat they
could until they could get to Pierre und re
place their own nine wagons nnd mules
which they had allowed to go with General
Forsythnnd his Seventh cavalry when it
passed through Bciu'cr on Its way to the
front.
The men were in excellent spirits , notwith
standing that they had subsisted mainly on
lunches alone the journey , nnd wboti they
leannd that Ounrtermaitei' Orcone hud tdc-
praphcd to this city to have seventeen bar-
l v rels of hot coffee , more or less , ready when
11. * the train should arrive , they felt about as
1 " kittens hi basket of
happy as u bevy of a
wool.
The regiment had loft Denver under the
impression that upon its nrrlvnl In this city
It would ho given horses and otherwise
equipped for the campaign.
Lntera telegram was received by the col
onel stating that It hnd been suggested by
General linger , commander of the depart
ment of Dakota , that It would bo bettor to ( jo
to Picrro , S. D. , and bo equipped at that
point.
Tjiis Indicated that it Is the Intention of
the goncrni to surround the bad lands Into
which the Indians are said to bo retreating.
In keeping with this inforniation was an
other fact that the train would continue tc
Council Uluffs where. In all probability , the
men would bo transferred to the Northwestern
western cnrs.
Shortly hefore the depot was reached an
employe of the company informed the colonel
nel that the order to cross to the IllulTs had
been countermanded nnd that the train
would accordingly remain on this side.
These conflicting announcements caused
some eyes to open wide and wonder when il
would bo known whether or not the regiment
vouldnotbo ordered back homo before the
matter wns brought to a close.
When the train cnmo to a stand In th
flepot Major Bcnhnin , inspector of stnal
arms practice of the department nnd a mem
her of the Seventh , called upon his regi
mental associates , and the meeting was OIK
of pleasure.
Captain J , M. Sanno of Company H nlsc
paid tils respects. Ills company had nrrlvci
yesterday morning from Lcavcnworth , nm
waited all day nt the Fremont , Elkhorn S
Missouri Valley depot for the nrrivnl-of thi
main part ot the regiment , without orders.
The company comprises forty-eight men
every 0110 of whom is ns hearty as
good constitution , good living nnd a regjilni
llfo can mako. It is under the command o
Captain J. M. J. Sanno , nn olllcor who entered
tered West Point in 18.19 nnd has since re
mainH in the service , having passed througl
the civil war with honors. The lieutenant
nro J. 1) . Jackson and Armand I. Losscigno
The company was provided with anununi
lion and other essentials and ready to go hit
action the moment it reaches the front.
Cnptnni Sanno was ordered by his colono
to have his car switched to the Union Pnclil
depot , so that Company II might leave witl
the other companies wlien the order shoul
fomo to advance.
Colonel Mcrrinm reported his arrival t
ficncral Kuger In Soutli Dakota , but nt las
accounts last night , with Ills command , wn
Bleeping In his cars on a'sidetrack.
A company of this regiment Is still statlonei
at Camp 1'ilot Hutte , Kock Springs , Wyo
under the command of Colonel lUut nnd Cut
tain Coolidgo. There Is some doubt as t
whether or not this company will bo callu

Till' ) DAVIS.O'noNNHLiIj MIM-i.
'llio Ointihn I'ugVlim nn a Fojil in tlio
nicvenlh Uonnd.
One of the stubborncst prlr.o fights that
ever took place in the vicinity of Omnha wni
Hint last night nt Gcrmnnlu hall , South
Omaha , between Hilly O'Donnellof Portland ,
Ore. , und young Davis of this city. The
men scaled nt itl : each , nnii fought for fame
nnd goto receipts. There was u large crowd
In attendance , and the universal verdict was
that tlio scrap totally eclipsed any of the so-
called professional events that ever took
plane in this neck of the sublunary sphere.
Billy Hawlcy was behind young
Davis , while Pat Allen , the conqueror of
Jerry blnttcry , manipulated the towel for the
OrcKonlun.
After much persuasion Charlci M. Jackson
of the Salt Lake Tribune win chosen referee ,
nnd that he executed the duties of his deli
cate position In the most satisfactory manner
was attested to In the lonu umt uproarious up-
plnuRO which grcoted his diei.iion in the
eleventh round , whan ho mvardcd ttio light
to young Iavis on a foul.
The llrst two rounds wore a stand off.
Davis had the advantage of height and reach ,
but O'Dgnnell ' made up for these shortcom
ings in determination nnd vlriouMicss , At
thu outset of the third round , In a rush by
Davis , O'Donncll caught him full In the jaw
by the famous La Blanche pivot
swing , that all but knocked him
out. The Omaha lad was dr.zcd
from the effect of the swinging right handcr ,
but ho gathered nlmself together in truly
professional style nml fought on In a way
that Jnstiilcd the opinion that ho would yet
land n winner.
In the fourth round ho almost put the Oregon
gen man to sleep by u straight ono from the
shoulder , and hnd he followed up the van
tage hero obtained , ho would have had his
man sound asleep long before the gotig
sounded.
In the lifth young Davis handed the visitor
n clean knock down , nnd from this on out to
the close hail much the test of the light ,
O'Donnoll frequently resorting to dastardly
fouls to save himself the ignominy of a knock
out.
out.So pnlp.iblo did his dirty methods
become that Referee Jackson forcibly
threw the mon apart in the midst of the
eleventh round , nnd proclaimed :
"I award this fight to D.ivis , and should
have done s > o several rounds since. This
man O'lJoimull ' has no business In any thing
but a rough-and-tumble fight. "
And the crowd cheered nnd cheered , then
dispersed und the Davls-O'Donnell mill was
history.
Stnnloy nnd Km In I'.islin.
Mr. Stanley , In his description of finding
Emin I'asha , says : "Wo celebrated our meet
ing hi some of Munun's ' best , which had been

A very narrow escape occurred on IJroad-
way near the Ogdcn liouso yesterday after
noon. A ninn driving n team attached to the
running gear of n wagon was proceeding

up that ho could not hoar the bell of
n car which wns approaching him
In the roar , nnd just ns it cniuu
near to where ho wns , ho carelessly turned to
cross tbo track without looking behind him.
The motornnin tried to stop the car , but ba-
fore ho could do so the wagon was struck
and shoved along several ynras. The man
was suddenly tumbled off his sent , but for
tunately ut ono side of the track , and the
team proved docile enough to bohnvo them
selves until the wagon could ho righted.
Luckily iho man escaped Injury , nnd the
dainngo to the wngou was comparatively

To the person in this
state or in Iowa that
will furnish us the best
original suggestion for
an advertisement or
trade scheme to pro
mote the. interest of our
business for the com
ing holidays [ all plans
to be in writing and at
our store by Monday
night , Dec. 8. ] The
successful contestant to
be notified by mail and
through this column.
The reason for doing
this ? We started in
this season to supply
the finest clothing trade
in the city , and now we
have too many gentle-
ilien's extreme fine
overcoats ; and we fear
lie contradiction when
we say : that we have
some of the nobbiest
and tastiest top and box
overcoats ever shown
in the city of Omaha.
We have cut them
in price about one-
fourth. Come quick
for they are the latest ,
the richest , the finest
nobbiest and the most
genteel line of over
coats ever offered for
the price :
Oar'
$5 , $6 , $7 , $8 ,
$9$10$12
Lines of overcoats
never sold so fast as at
present. We will be
out of that grade of
cjoods before New
O
Years if the trade
doesn't let up on them.
Come in and see us ,
we were here long be
fore the rest of them
and are' liable to be
hqre when some have
gone with the rest ,
