The 25th Infantry Band Timeline Project

Brief Mention

The Twenty-fifth infantry band of Fort Missoula left for Butte last night where they participate in the Emancipation day exercises today which promises to be the most elaborate celebration ever held by the colored people of Montana. Governor Rickards will deliver the oration and will be followed by other prominent people from Butte and elsewhere. Tomorrow evening the boys from Fort Missoula give a concert after which a grand ball will take place which will be a grand affair as the colored people take the cake in a cake walk.
