of the advance guard of (.Fremont's

and very naturally bad divided, .and
that Armstrong meant to wait till the
rest came,up,- and start for the town ■
from her house. She likewise learned)
that, they had not'seen anything of
the Lincoln soldiers. She!gave them
their: fill' of liquor, she let them eat I
