Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix rail road at Prescott, Arizona, is now with the First United States Volun- teer Cavalry as battalion adjutant, and nas undertaken to send special correspondence to the Herald. This regiment is the one of which Theo- dore Roosevelt is lieutenant colonel, and Is known as 'Teddy's Terrors, being composed of cowboys, rough riders and dead shots from Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Indian territory. Mir. Garrett was selected as being one of the best long dis tance shots in Arizona. The regi ment is now quartered at San An tonic, Texas, and expects to be among the first to cross into Cuba.
