During a Petersburg raid a Federal spy posed as Wakefield, a Confederate private, to learn Lee's strength.

Chicken for Veterans and other notes from Leavenworth

Leavenworth veterans Christmas dinner will feature chicken instead of turkey as a 5,000 pound chicken contract was let by the Home Subordinate Company. EB Shepherd won a three month eggs contract at 24 cents per dozen. Beef also awarded to a Topeka packing company at $6.09 for three months, with veterans consuming about 15,008 pounds monthly. Separate items report a wholesale exchange of way care on the middle division causing train delays, and a Texas court recounts a case about damages and a freight shipment inquiry from Hamburg to Las Vegas seeking salt.
