on the blutf at the crossing of Cripple
creek, and We discovered when We had
been there a few DAYS that We were in the
midst of a settlement somewhat divided in
sentiment
"One day an old gray headed man cam,
TO the picket line with the story that d
battalion Of rebel cavalry were ut Halls

one believed this until message came
from the signal corps To the effect that

made to receive them As enemies The

There were seven or eight men in line, and
each one carried some article of furniture,

story came out. He was Union man who
lived about five miles distant, and as the
Confederate cavalry had stolen all his
horses taken his wagons, and threatened
TO return and burn all his furniture, he
called some of his neighbUrs together and
they were carrying that furniture five
miles TO get it inside the Union lines. They
