Reed, Fullerton agent of the Santa Fe, on the platform, was recognized by an old friend on board a passing train who had not seen him for 22 years, and did not know he was living in California. The friend was O. E. Livingston of Omaha, a traveling shoe salesman. The recognition occurred several days ago when Mr. Livingston was passing thru, and he waved at Mr. Reed. Yesterday he came back thru, and stopped off for a visit. A similar incident occurred about eight months ago, Mr. Reed was sitting in the waiting room. A man came in and asked the location of the P. E. depot, and Mr. Reed, looking up, recognized him as an old school teacher whom he had not seen for about 38 years. The former schoolmaster had to study awhile before he was able to remember him.

Four of the surviving members of Co. B, 1st Minnesota infantry, recruited at Stillwater during the civil war, met at the Sawyer house, Stillwater, to pay tribute to their departed comrades. Aram Marty, 85, St. Paul; John S. Goff, 79, Minnesota soldiers' home; Peter Hall, Atwater, Minn., and Charles Lockwood, Chamberlain, S. D., were present. Emil Goff, St. Cloud, Fla., was unable to attend. But 34 of the original 120 remained to organize the club in 1884, the 1st Minnesota having suffered losses greater than any other regiment at the battles of Bull Run and Gettysburg. This year, as in banquets before, the famous bottle of wine that has given the club its name, graced the table. Presented to the club in 1886 with the stipulation that the last surviving member drink it as a toast to his former comrades, it has reposed in the vaults of the First National Bank of Stillwater, being brought to light only each year at the annual banquet. Each year there have been fewer at the banquet table and each year the number of crosses on the label of the bottle has been larger.
