his raid in 1864, a very funny thing
happened at Grand Junction. Horses
and mules were Sent TO this point for
remounts and for pack trains. and
hundreds of men were held there to
put horses through the preliminary

loaded from a train that was supposed
to contain only horses, and there was
much swearing and Joking over the
mistake.
The men assigned to look after the
horses were disinclined to tackle the
mules, and hundreds of darkies vol.

Finally 250 delighted darkies were
mounted on $50 mules and were ar.

the Quartermaster In charge. Before
any instructions could be given, the
engineer of the waiting train gave

excess of an allowance granted. In
1898 he was granted a pension OF $l2
