SALT LAKE CRY, April 0.-aiaj- Gen.
Crook is in this city, having arrived
from Omaha at a late hour Saturday
night. He will be here several days
He first heard OF his promotion at Chey-
enne on his way here. Yesterday he
visited Fort Douglas and the Mormon
Tabernacle. Every Western man nc.
quainted with military matters is jubi-
liant over Gen. Crooks promotion. He
is here for rest and recreation, having
many old army friends in this region.
The General thus promoted has little
over five years to serve before reaching
the age OF retirement, and he was at the
head OF the list OF brigadier generals.
His reputation among the Indians is
signi6ed in the name "Gray Fox,"
which they have given him.
George Crook is native OF Ohio, and
is about sixty years OF age. After he
was graduated ut West Point he was ap-
pointed to Licutenancy in the Fourth
Infantry. This was in the year 1852.
During the civil war he rose from the
rank OF Colonel to that OF Brigadier
General in 1862, and Major General in
1864. He commanded the army of West
Virginia in the Valley of the Shenan-
doah.
When the war ended Crook was sery-
ing as Major in the Third Infantry, and
was a brevet Major General Of the
United States army. He had risen to be
a full Brigadier General in the regular
army by the year 1873. His promotion is
by army officers generally,
