James A Logan of the first cavalry, VINO
fought his way from lieutenant Of COM
pany to commander Of a brigade, bought
magnificent roan few days before Gen.
Grant began the closing campaign. 1t was
a high-sprited creature, tall, powerful and
81 eedy. Kellogg was greatly pleased with
his new possession. His staff had to do a
good deal of fast riding for a week before
the closing scenes of the great contest be-
gan. The general seemed to want every
one in the fifth corps to see his handsome
roam, SO he rode from camp to camp, max
ing social calls, his staff, made up largely
of new riders, bobbing and jolting after
him. There was not a nan of kelogg's
military family but regretted the birth of
that roam. He was jolting their young lives
away.
THE day of reckoning came at the battle
of Gravclly Run, or, as some call 1t, White
Oak Road, March 81, 1865 Kellogg massed
his brigade in piece of woods. About 10
o clock 1t became necessary to move quick
ly to better position and get into line of
battle for immediate business, for a divis-
ion OF the other folks was coming that way,
practic.ng on their famous Yell song.
Just as the brigade was in line, and almost
der foot, the enemy poured a vast sheet Of
lead at us. Stand fast, men; hold your
groundr' commanded Kellogg from mis-
prancing roam.
Then came another volley. That, with
the roar and rattle of the Union guns, was
too much for the roam. He bounded into
the air and seemed to turn around, facing
the rear, before he struck the ground. In
spite of kellogg'S weight on the bits and his
frantic whoas the roam 'lmbered' to the
rear at greater speed than he had ever

hot fight, and no time for the general to

flying roam and start on dead run for the
line of battle.
1T is due to the equine population to say

H. Clay Emmett, a young cowboy, who
passed through Bolton, Texas, recently, re-
ports singular find made by him during a
cattle hunting raid recently. The find was
nothing more nor less than a petrified pony,
standing erect and complete in all its parts.
Emmett says that he and his partner, b. c.
Woodville. were riding across the prairie
late one afternoon, when their tired ponies
reighed and whnDied as if they We're aware
of the presence of another animal
Looking around, they discovered what
they thought was a broncho tethered to a
mesquite which crowned the summit of a
little knoll to the northward. They found
that the horse was fastened by a chain, hut
stood so riSidly still and seemed altogether
so mysterious that their own horses reared
and plunged as if in fright. Finally they

says that some rarchman years ago must
have chained the poor horse there leaving
him to starve upon the plains. AS he ribs
of the animal are plainly visible in the
petrifaction, and he seems to have been
otherwise much emaciated, this is most
probably the case. Emmett will arrange to
have the strange find exhibited in some
museum.
