W nen Il made q dash at Gen Reno's force guard.
Ing he wagon trains, for the purpose, II sup
posed, OF capturing the supply train, which con-
tanned provisions and ammunition, OF which the
rebels stand sorely In need. Fortunately, thev
were discovered In season, and Kearney's divi-
sion vas sent down to drive the rebels back.
He found the rebels In greater force than was
at supposed, as he displayed not only cavalry,
