wore the insignia Of his rank. Sheridan
speaks Of having "exterminated" three OF

officers from privates If they were not in

that Grants order was suggested by
Sherldan's dispatch which he had just
roceived-"Mosby attacked the rear Of my

deceived Grant both as to the magnitude
OF the disaster and the strength Of the

trouble Grant about the loss Of only six
wagons? The impression It conveyed was

them.

must lay ont the town In accordance
with the Judgment Of the const -
prescribed in section 767 OF Manar
fields Digest Of the Laws of Arkan-
sas fedition 1884, page 3o1.)
Concerning the request to lay out
q street eighty or one hundred feet
In width around the entire limits Of
the town, the acting commissioners
states that said request should be
refused, for the reason that to do It
would require the survey ofa street
ten or twelve miles in length and the
expense of urting the same through
said forest tracks.
An adverse recommendation is
made by the acting commissioners
relative to the size of the blocks in
the unimproved tracts of the town,
and it is recommended that said
blocks shall be three hundred feet
square, as near as practicable, and
the lots to be one hundred by one
hundred and fifty feet, with sufficient
land to be taken from the depth of
each lot to establish an alley sixteen
feet in width in each block where
necessary.
The Department concurs in the
recommendations of the acting COM
missioner and you will advise said
Townsite Commission accordingly.
Respectfully,
