GREATEST CAVALRY LEADER.
German Generals give Their Opinions Of
Shrridan's Abtltties-iiigh Words
Of Praise From Great
soldiers.

Berlin Special: General Field Mar
shal Won Moltke said recently that the
plucky little american, Gen. Sheridan,
was perhaps the greatest cavalryman
that ever lived. Gen. Won Moltke sat
in his study in the staff building in the
Thiergarten and was surrounded by
innumerable paintings, military books
and maps:
II have also contended," he re-
marked, "that Generals Grant, Sher-
man and zee were the representative
types of the highest form of modern
strategists, but Gen. Sheridan, in
1870, when making his headquarters
here, struck me as being the type oi
the rough American general, with all
the wonderful energies and fertile re-
sources which characterize the nation,
and probably no better cavalry com
mander has ever taken the field. lie
was an expert in using horses for all
that they were worth, and all the
armies OF Europe have adopted many
OF the lessons taught 10y him in the
tactical Use of cavalry"
Said Gen. Won der Goltz: II first saw
Gen. Sheridan in 1870, Just after the
battle of Sedan; was impressed by
the way he examined the horses feet
/ and the field farriers of the different
cavalry regiments. met him after
ward ut Versailles, shortly before the
palace was destroyed, and remember
his saying that had the German cav
airy been organized on the American
basis all the French railways connect
| ing Faidherbe's army in the north and
Chanzy's army on the Loire would
have been totally destroyed immedi-
ately after the isolation of Paris.
consider Gen. Sheridan one of the
ablest cavalry commanders in the
world"
General of Infantry Won Pape, who
commands the entire Prussian guar,
corps-comprising about $4,000 mei
said he had not met Gen. Sheridan
personally, but had studied fully hi'
campaign in Western Virginia, which
he considered mo lei OF the way il
which large masses OF cavalry should
be handled.

No one who had ever heard Thurman

renee. It is u peculiarly sensational
snort. 1t * not "a blow, but blast,
shril and loud ~ n locomotive whistle,
and with u ncvcr-cndiig effect, like the
roll of thunder. Judge Thurman never
blew his nose in the senate that tho
body didn't voluntarily suspend b,'si-
ness for full three minutes, and visit
ors in the gallery would be on their
feet, craning their necks over the rail

his old vocation. without warming
Judge Thurman ilouri,hed his old
bandana and gave nasal blast that
echoed and rc-cchocd through the his

was on his feet and twisting the desk
around with all the power that was IN
him. lie had mistaken Thurman's
blow as the signal for down brakes.

HOW IT HAPPENED.


The Great Falls Tribune gives the
following detailed description OF the
murder and lynching at sun River on
Saturday, June 9th:
On Saturday noon Matchett, a pri-
vate soldier of Company III, Third in
fantry, went from Fort shaw to sun
River and stayed at the house OF II
woman who is nick-named Queeny.
Toward evening Robinson came to the
house and found Matchett dead drunk
upon the bed. As Robinson had been
intimate with Queeny it made him
furious to find Matchett with her, and
he beat him severely, breaking his jaw
and arm. Robinson having satisfied
his rage, at least for themOment, went
out with Queeny. On returning he
found that Matchett had left the
house. Exasperated at finding that
he had not killed him, Robinson went
out again IN quest OF him. As he went
along the $, rect Charles Mcguire, Will
lam Ish, George Quail and Others We're

lie asked them if they had seen Match
EFT, and they said they had not. lie
was about to go away, when Maguire
clapped his hands and said: LET us

then raised his muskct, which was scon-
cealed, and shot Mcguire, who fell in
the arms OF n blacksmith aud died inn

Fort Shaw. Quail and Others tried to

some persons followed him and stated
the facts to Lieut.. Ahern, who placed
| him under arrest. Matchett and
Queeny were also arrested and placed
in Jail ut sun River.
| Sheriff Downing, who was tired from
the long Journey and excitement, re
tired late. leaving Hurley on q ard at
the prison. About midnight two men
followed by others. walked gu city ia
the jail. All were masked. They de
man,led the key from Hurley. He saw
that resistance was useless, and gave
it ap. The door was soon opened
The cell door was broken down, am

cession moved to n neighborins yard
Each man was armed, and all seemed
to act with discipline. Few word
were said, for the people were afrai,

with their black masks and proceeded
to carry out the Judgment which the.

moments Il moose was placed aroun'
the murderer's neck. The rope wa

SOMERSET. Ohio, June H. Mrs.
Sheridan, who died here to-day, was
born in county Carvan, Ireland, and
came to the United States in S2S and
to Ohio in S32 She was modest IN
appearance, her stature was small.
and her weight of late did not exceed
seventy pounds. She lived in the
home which the General purchased for
the family prior to the war. The
mother surely was provided with all
her heart could wish Of this world $

serious condition OF her son were stu
diously kept from her, but she knew

THIS celebrated stallion will make the
i season of 1883 at his stable near the
mouth of crooked creek, upon the fol-
lowing terms: Ten dollars for each ser.
vice; twenty dollars for the season with
no privilege of return, or thirty dollars
to insure. Persons wishing to avail
themselves of the service of this horse
should signify their intention to breed
at an early date, as he will be limited
this season to less number of mares
than he has heretofore served in any sea-
son for the last three years. During the
season of 1887, Highland Chief became
standard, through the performance of
his colts, and is now registered as a
standard Horse No. 1927, in Wallace
Trotting Register. Upon information
derived from the same source it can be
asserted of Highland Chief that he is
the first Horse in West Virginia to make
himself standard through his COLTS
This fact alone will be sufficient recon-
mendation to horsemen, and is an ac-
complishment which does not require
any comment to establish the reputa-
ton of any Horse who performs it.

RESIDENCE BURNED,

The story and half residence of
Chris. Schmadeka, on Three-mle creek,
one mile below town, was discovered in
flames last Saturday night, and in about
thirty minutes the building and all it's
contents were totally destroyed, the
progress of the flames being helped by a
strong breeze which was blowing at the
time. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the roof by the unjointing
of the stovepipe, and had got complete
hold Of the building before it was dis
covered. The building and its contents
were valued at $4,000, with insurance at
$1,000, in the Home Mutual company,
which will leave a loss of about 81 900 to
Mr.. Schmadeka. The insurance adjuster
is expected to arrive soon, and after
payment of the loss is made, Mr.
Schmadeka will erect new residence at
once.
