Powerful Old Horse Who Figured i
Custer Massacre,

Powerful Old Horse VINO Figured Ia
Custer Massacre.
Houston Post: Some time ago I read in
the Post q notice of a visit to a friend in
Houston of Billy MacGee-a survivor of
Clusters old command. Mention is made
In this article Of a horse, the only survivor
of the Custer massacre. A perusal of this
article freshens the memory Of an old
army woman" and I send you the story.
Perhaps you may care to print It.
When Col. Reno's reached the
Custer battlefield on the Little Big Horn
the only living thing In all that silent sol
diery was the magnificent horse of the
martyred and lamented Capt. Keough-Co-
manche. He was grievously wounded
many times, but not fatally, and the grief
stricken soldiers were determined he
should live; SO they made a litter Of the
boughs Of trees, covered with "army
blankets" and with many tender hands
lifted Comanche on 1t and carried him ito
camp" a few miles away, where the army
surgeons and veterinarians soon had him
on the "convalescent list" and later on he
was discharged from the hospital" well!
Recovered! Almost a miracle!
Sub~sequently-in the winter OF 1878 and
1S79-my husband, q captain Of infantry,
United States army, served with the re-
habilltated Seventh Cavalry at Fort
Meade, 8. D., where Comanche also was
Stationed"
An order from the war department had
been received and read to the immortal
Seventh that henceforth Comanche was to
ave special care, a padded stall, an "ord-
erly, especially detailed" to care for him,
and that ne er again should he be ridden,
but panoplied in boots, saddle and saber."
He was to be led at the head Of the Sew
enth regiment of Cavalry when on parade,
in commemoration Of those heroes who
died with Custer.
Comanche was a magnificent, powerful
horse, In color a claybank or buckskin,
with long, full or waving dark brown
name and tail. His coat was like yellow
satin; his scars scarcely discernible, and
he would rear, kick and sQueal like a yeri-
table colt out on a frolic.
One day General Sturgus, the then col
onel Of the Seventh, and commanding Of
ficer of'the garrison, was on the steps of
our quarters" when the orderly with &C
mancnc came sweeping down "offcers'
row." I said: "Oh, general, I do want to
put my arms around his neck We'll,
you SHALL" said he. Orderly, bring Co
manche here" and sure enough, by means
of a few Jumps Of sugar., I did put my
arms around his beautiful glossy neck,
stroked his honored scars, looked into his
soft, fawn-uke eyes, wondering, If he
could speak,, what he might tell US Of the
unstoried battle.
That he had memories also I am sure,
for the troopers used to tell that when ar
Indian came in smelling distance Of him
Comanche would snort, rear and tremble
his beautiful eyes distended. staring
watching in the Indians direction 70,
What horror Of that e~nsanguinsd day?
Dear, beautiful Comanche! Only a few
years ago l read that you also had passe;
from "life's feeting dream" perc1tance {?
again to join your friends of the long ago
Honor to you. and sweet peace and rest
for you also were a hero!

for Edification of Judge Trying
Taggart Divorce Case.
Wooster, O., Auf. 16.-At 2 o'clock
this afternoon the testimony of Major
Taggart was resumed. Stories that
brought bushes to his cheeks were
often told by his wife to company In
their home and at dinner parties, ac-
cording to the major. II often took her
to task for telling tnem.'' he said, a n
on one occasion she told me to go out
Of the room until she finished"
Captain Taggart was asked to repeat
some Of these, that the court might
Judge of their character. He recited
THE Dogs License" .Put In a Little
Dash of Lavender" and several others
in a similar vein. Then the judge
called a halt, protesting that he was
satisfied.

It have always been true to my mar
riage vows" said Captain Taggart. Il
knew nothing of Mrs. Taggart's being
in the hospital until she wrote me aft
er her discharge saying she had been
there to have an operation performed"
Sentiment here seems-to@b e with
Captain Taggart if applause is an In.
dication. Cheers and clapping OF
hands greeted a decision in the,mayor's
our this afternoon when the youth,
Harry Rope, arrested for perjury on
affidavit Of Mrs Taggart, was dis
charged. Rope is the witness who
swore that he saw her buy three beers
II give one to each of the boys and
drink a glass herself.
Drinking Bouts Described.
Major Taggart told in detail how his
wife had smoked cigarets and drunk
whisky in the presence of the children.
and had told off -color stories along
with Miss Anna Berry and Miss Yost
had objected she had told him to step
outside the room until she was through.
The witness declared he told her that
there was only one kind Of house where
women told such stories and smoked
cigarets and drank whisky. Witness
repeated obscene toasts that were given
by Mrs. Taggart and Miss Berry when
drinking in the presence of officers and
the subjects Of these toasts became
common expressions In the circle that
visited his house. 1t was shown that
when Lieutenant Fortesque, Captain
Poore and others at Fort Leavenworth
visited at his house there were many
drinking bouts, and the spicy stories
always followed the cocktails and high
balls.
Witness said that Mrs. Taggart came
to the Philippines after she had been
in the Cincinnati hospital, but he never
discussed the subject of her sickness
with her,
Tells of Separation.
Witness said that Mrs. Taggart was
on apparently friendly terms with all
the women at Fort Leayenworth, but
h was or intimate terms with Mrs.
Poore, whom the witness forbad her
to go with, and that she was quite
friendly with Mrs. Ryther, whose hus-
band is n of the correspondents.
Wife Played Church Organ.
The major, under the rapid-hr cross
examination Of Judge Smyser, brought
out the facts that when he married
his wife she was a member of the
Episcopal church and that for two
years at Fort Thomas she played the
organ at church services, but that he
never attended the church, as he
didn't consider the chaplain a preacher

That the President. the officers of the

the game here goes without saying
Sentiment Of the members of Congress

For an AlI-Ameriean team there are

In making these selections, men have
