Hills the miners, deciding that it was necessary to stop the lawlessne6s then prevalent and which even the presence of United States soldiers could not check, elected Bullock sheriff of the whole district just after the killing of Wild Bill by Jack Mccall.
 A very similar character is Captain Jack Foster of B troop, man of iron nerve, who was born in Texas near the Indian Territory line. He was resi- dent of Chamberlain, s. D., and super intendent of large cattle ranch when he accepted his present position. That he is popular is shown by the fact that 30 men who have worked under him promptly enlisted in order to be in his company. His first lieutenant, George B. Grigsby, is son of the colo- nel.
 Captain Joseph Binder of B troop, who served in the regular army from 1878 to 1883, taking part in numerous Indian fights. is the owner of cattle ranch, with over 1000 head of cattle, near Pierre S. D. He was a noncommis- stoned officer of the Eleventh infantry when Colonel Frost, now commander of the First regiment of South Dakota
 infantry, was a private in his com pany. He has the finest pack of wolf
 hounds in the northwest and with his wife follows them in the chase during the winter months.
 Captain John E. Hammer of c troop resident of Sturgs and engaged in tht cattle business, served IA years in tho cavalry branch of Uncle Sam's military forces and has experienced many hard Indian campaigns. At the time of hii appointment he was one of the brand commissioners of South Dakota and was the first man to tender company to Colonel Grigsby after the latter had received his commission. Hammer was a sergeant under Major Reno when that officer failed to re-enforce Custer at the Little Big Horn battle, and his brother was killed with Custer at the time.
 Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd, appointed from Montana, is a graduate of West Point, native of Iowa and an ex-offi- cer of the regular army who retired some years ago to enter mercantile business at Butte, Mon. Major Leigh H. French, the senior major of the regi- ment, is a physician of Washington, but has had a varied experience as a cow
 boy in Tom Green county, Texas; stage driver in the west and a hunter in both the west and foreign coun- tries. He is an expert rider and a dead shot.
 Major R. W. Stewart, also an expert with firearms and one of the youngest officers of the regiment, graduated from Yale in 1888 and since then has been | located at Pierre, where he served as states attorney and reporter of the su-
 preme court. As a lawyer he has been i prominent in practice before the su- preme court of the state of his adop- l tion.
 Adjutant O. L. Sues resigned a posi-
 ton as special pension examiner to &C., cept commission in the regiment. He
 has served in the regular army, and be- fore locating in South Dakota about two years ago he was major of the mili- tia force in the District of Columbia. In the rank and file of Grigsby'a

one that was put together in Santo Do- mingo.
 It is we'll known that the drill of both men and horses of Roosevelt's Rough Riders before leaving the United States was perfect, the men being able to charge standing in the stirrups. The ponies would stop like automatons at the word of command and in the wheel ing, circling, yelling and riding with fearless abandon the men showed how practically impossible it would be for a foot soldier to defend himself from a machete charge. They know how to shoot straight as well. Of the two ma jors one is Hersey, adjutant general of New Mexico, and the other Alec o. Brodie, whom his home newspaper call ed lone of the best known citizens of Arizona" Major Brodie is a graduate of West Point, class of '72, and was adjutant of the First cavalry when he resigned. Of late years he has been a civil and mining engineer and is part owner of one of the richest mines in the west
 Captain William O'Neill, who was killed while leading his troop, was born in St. Louis. He had been a student, a newspaper man, a cowboy, traveller, the sheriff of an Arizona county, the mayor of city, a lawyer, miner and the editor of three or four newspapers and magazines. He had been all over the world and was as we'll known among business men of New York city as among the cowboys of Arizona, where he spent the greater part of the last 20 years of his life.
 The former Colonel (now Brigadier GeneraD Melvin Grigsby was born 53 years ago on farm near the village of Potos, in Grant county Wis, and lived there till he enlisted at the opening of the civil war. His youthful education comprised a few winters at log cabin district school and three terms at the village academy. Of his four years service in the cavalry about one was passed in the prisons of Andersonville and Florence, S. c. Twice he escaped from the former, at one time being free for 30 days, but in the second attempt he succeeded in reaching the Federal lines after two months of travelling through swamps by night and hiding anywhere in the daytime.
 When he reached safety, he was thin and emaciated and of such a smoky color from standing about the small campfres he had made that for a time he was dubbed the Smoked Yank." In his book detailing his military experi- ences, published a few years ago, he wittily used this appellation os a title to his literary production.

IN THE FAMOUS CHARGE AT SAN JUAN

Rough Riders are men of all classes and conditions. There are Englishmen, Mexicans, Scandinavians, half breed Indians and sprinkling of almost ev- cry other nationality. Practically they are all cowboys fresh from the ranch or ex-cowboys who have for the time be- ing left their business pursuits to fight under the stars and stripes. Some few of them have thrown aside remuner- alive positions paying as high as s2,ooo a year, but the majority are plainsmen who had nothing when they enlisted but their last months pay and their clothes. daredevil fellows who cared nt- tie what their future might be, reaoy to fight and with the motto, "Never Sure render oT Retreat"

nelcy, but he declined that honor, say ing that his knowledge of military tao tics was not sufficient but he would ac- cept position as assistant to his friend Dr. Wood. Then the two gentlemen re- ceived the commissions they held until recently, when Wood was made briga- dier general of volunteers and Roosevelt colonel of the Rough Riders for gallant work at Santiago.
 This regiment was the first to feel the brunt of war, at the battle of La Quasina, on June "A, when IT of the brave fellows fell dead in the Cuban chaparral.

In addition to the murderous corn knife, or machete, this regiment is armed with six shooters and either the .45 caliber carbines, Win chester rifles or the Mausers, the last named being the weapon used almost entirely by the Spanish regulars in Cuba. It is a strange fact that the machete-pronounced "ma-kay-tay''-is not manufactured in either Cuba or Spain, but principally in Hartford. although General Gomez has . small

Two years ago he was elected attor- ney general of South Dakota by the largest vote ever accorded any candi- date in the state. His legal record has been a good one, and it is said that he has won every case placed in his hands. Upon leaving South Dakota he did not resign his civil office, but deputed his son, Sioux K. Grigsby, to act in his stead while he is at the seat of war.
 Probably Seth Bullock, captain of A troop, has the greatest reputation. With long western experience he has been prominent in all the exciting epi- sodes characteristic of the early days of the settlements. In the primary history of Montana he was a captain of the vigilants. During the first excitement over the discovery of gold in the Black

medal upon his breast voted to him by congress for bravery in the Geronimo campaign. It was then said that he had saved a command when all the of- fcers excepting himself and one other had been prostrated by the trials of a hard campaign. A native of Boston, he entered the army in 1885. Arriving at the fort in Arizona which was to be his headquarters one evening in June, he was in the field at 4 o'clock the next morning in the beginning of the Apache campaign, and for the succeeding two years his career was more that of soldier than a surgeon. He made trips of 1000 miles in length and was active in the Indian campaign of 1888.
 Theodore Roosevelt has been known, always aggressively, as civil service commissioner, New York city police commissioner and assistant secretary of the navy. From the time of his gradu- ation at Harvard, as ranchman, littera- teur, politician or reformer, he has been constantly in the public eye.
 The regiment is a peculiar combina- tion of plainsmen and recruits from the society ranks of New York city, so called dudes who were polo experts and cross country riders, representing well known, wealthy and illustrious families of the Empire State. There are also in the ranks college graduates from Yale and Princeton and ten men from the Harvard class of 1898. It has been Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt's idea that the former leaders of the cotillon could learn more readily the use of the saber and revolver and become better horse men by association with the cowboys who have lived in the saddle and slept on their firearms nearly all their years, while the latter might benefit from con-

 The First regiment of 7S0 men, though organized and at first commanded by Colonel (now Brigadier GeneraD Leon ard Wood, a former army surgeon on the personal staff of General Miles and family physician to the president, be- came we'll known from it's very incep- tion as "Teddy's Terrors," or "Roose- velt's Rough Riders," the latter term being readily accepted because of "apt alliteration's artful aid" and because of the fame and popularity of the cowboy litterateur, politician and civil service reformer.

mad naturally come in contact with the cowboys on the ranges, and at the first intimation of war, conceiying the idea that a regiment of Rough Riders and dead shots would be even more effective than body of regulars owing to their recklessness of life and limb and their daredevil spirit, wrote to the secretary of war suggesting the formation of such a body of men and rendering his own services in any capacity that would be accepted. The reply was made to him that his suggestion would be used if possible.
 When Colonel Grigsby went to Wash ington, on April Il, he learned that a bill inspired by Theodore Roosevelt was before congress providing for the organ ization of a regiment, of cowboys. See ing that only one regiment of special volunteers could be raised by the presi- dent under the order, Grigsby had his congressman in the last 40 minutes be- fore vote was taken propose the fol- lowing amendment: Provided further, that the president may authorize the secretary of war to organize companies, troops, battalions or regiments possess ing special qualifications from the na- tion at large under such rules and regu- latiops, including the appointment of the officers thereof, as may be pre- scribed by the secretary of war;"
 This bill was passed on April 22, and week later Colonel Grigsby had his commission and instructions to recruit the regiment of the Third United States volunteer cavalry, now known through out the country as "Grigsby's Rough Riders" His force was mustered into service on May 19 and the next day left for Chickamauga. Since then his com- mand has been brigaded with an Ohio and an Illinois regiment, and he has been raised to the rank of brigadier general. But it was his heartfelt desire to have the three regiments of Rough Riders united into one special brigade.
 The Second regiment United States volunteer cavalry, or ''Torrey's Rough Rlders, as it is better known, was or ganized by Colonel Jay l.. Torrey who knows nearly every man in his regf- ment personally So particular was he in organizing his regiment that he care fully examined 5000 men before choos- ing the 1900 allotted to him by law The second officer in rank is Lieutenant Colonel Cannon, and there are three majors. The regiment is made up of seven companies from Wyoming, two from Idaho, two from Colorado and one from Utah. Colonea Terrey b . wealthy

The First regiment, United SNntes volunteer cavalry, organized by Colo mel Leonard Wood, with Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt as assistant has be- come the most widely known of the three regiments of Rough Riders from the fact that it was the first to face the Spaniards in Cuba, but the other two, Torrey's and Grigsby's regiments, are thoroughly disciplined and capable mill itary bodies.
 The scheme of the special cowboy reg iments is said to have originated with Colonel Melvin Grigsby, and it was through his efforts that the bill allow ing their organization was passed by congress. During his residence of 30 years in South Dakota this gentleman
