Militiamen Return From Camp Douglas After Four Days
The Second Wisconsin Infantry Band came home last Thursday from Camp Douglas after four days, praised for music and soldierly appearance. Company A reports easy duty and a wary safety stance amid maneuvers between Camp Douglas and Sparta. About 3000 militiamen from the Second and Third Wisconsin Infantry and Milwaukee Battery, known as the Blues, contend with a Reds brigade as they hold Tomah against regular forces, while high water forces marching through, with some bridges theorically destroyed. The war is described as ongoing with no casualties in Company A, and a drunken orgy report at Camp Douglas is disputed by regiment officials. The fighters are said to be near conclusion, with return home slated for next Friday or Saturday.
