The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1904-12-05
sherIdanIa JON In RattIe-


An eminent American general and
displomat says that in his experience
he found the best fighters among the
half shy, modest men of intellectual
attainments and generally Of business
interests, who ordinarily would walk
miles ra:aer than participate in a
quarrel. Mt when it came to fight
ing for principle on field of battle
neither cavalry charges or bursting
shells seemed to have any terror for
them.
1t is admitted that Gen. Sheridan
was an exception to most military
men. Gen. Grant repeatedly called
him the greatest general in the world,
and said that if an emergency came
his estimate would be found true.
During the famous Warren investiga-
ton on Governors island regarding
the charges by Sheridan that Gen.
Warren did not do his duty at the
battle of Five Forks leading generals
were put on the stand to testify.
1t was shown that Gen. Warren, a
commander of infantry, should not
be compared with Gen. Sheridan, a
dashing, natural leader of cavalry.
Both were good men in their respec-
tive spheres, but their ideas ard meth
ods of fighting differed. TO blame
him for his temperament would be
like disparaging draft horse because
1t could not keep up with a trotter.
Some of the confederate generals
who testified at that investigation
said that Gen. Sheridan during that
famous battle did not seem like a hui
man being. Bareheaded, with face
black with smoke and dust, he rode
up and down the front Of his line re-
gardless of danger, shouting and
swearing like fiend. His frenzy and
daring excited the men to extraordi-
nary efforts and carried the day. It
was evident that in the heat of the
conflict Gen. Sheridan experienced the
joy of battle.

Lou Dillon smashed the worlds un
paced trotting record at the Driving
park, Memphis. Nov. II, by completing
the mile in 2:01 fiat The former un-
paced record, 2:01h, was held Jointly
by Lou Dillon and Major Delmar.
The daughter Of Sidney Dillon was
driven by Millard Sanders, her train.
er, and was accompanied by a runner
at the side. The weather conditions
were not the best, the day being cold
and disagreeable. After scoring twice
the word was given. The little mare
stepped the first quarter in 0;30 fiat.
When Strengthened out down the back
stretch, Sanders called on her for a
faster effort, and the half mile post
was passed in 0:59%. The runner
challenged the mare in the turn for
home and she passed the three-quar-
ters post in 1870. When well length
ened out for the flight to the wire Lou
Dillon slightly faltered, but passed
the judges stand in 2:01.

ticn Of being twice IN succession the
best Of her age Last years best g.
