caIlfornians Make Long Trip.

EspERANzA, Sonora, Mex, Dec. 30, 19O9.-From Merced, California, to Esperanza, Sonora, 400 miles in seventy days-how's that for '"treking?"
 It made one think of the old days of the prairie schooner when M. k. Graham and his outfit pulled into Esperanza the other day. They looked travel-worn but they were at the end of their journey and they were happy.
 The party consisted of M. k. Graham and his wife, T. J. Dunkle and w. s. Conely, all of Merced county, California. They left Mer- ced October z, travelling by road to Los Angeles, thence to San Bernar- dino, Indio, Yuma, Phoenix, Tue son, Nogales, Hermosillo, and Guaymas to Esperanza, arriving here December F, just seventy days after their departure. The outfit consisted of a big freighting wagon, loaded with household goods and personal effects, pulled by eight fine big horses. MT. Graham brought along five burros he had had in Merced and which he could not bear to leave behind.
 The party reported most pleas ant trip, free from accidents and unpleasant incidents. They en- countered only one storm and that was in Mexico. The horses were thin but they were otherwise in good condition, showing that such d trip presents no great difficulties.
 MT. Graham was particularly pleased over his courteous treat. ment by the Mexican customs off, cials at Nogales. He cleared his outfit quickly and easily and found that he had to pay surprisingly small duty.
 MT. Graham has his outfit al- ready at work, helping James Duke to put in 500 acres of wheat for James Bordin of Salinos, Cali fornia. Later, MT. Graham pro- poses to farm for himself.

MUCH DELAYED WAR REPORT
Gen. Dan MacauIey of Indiana Relates
Humorous Incident That Orig
mated in '64.

The following anecdote as related
by Gen. Dan Macauley of Indiana af-
fords striking illustration of the
humorous turn that often concludes
situation originally tragic. The begin
ming of the story takes us back to
those stirring events of 1854 which
had the Shenandoah Valley as the the
alter of action. Back and forth across
that narrow stage with it's picturesque
setting strove those real-life heroes,
Sheridan and EARLY, in the most dra-
matte, momentous duel of the war.
In this prolonged contest courage and
determination were we'll matched,
while rare technical skill awaited itself
of every possible advantage to force
final issue.
That last stroke of Early's, the sur
prise of the Union forces in the morn
Ing hours of the nineteenth of October,
was so well conceived and so brilliant
ly executed it almost deserved sue
cess.
The night before the battle, General
Wright, then in command owing to
Sheridan's temporary absence, or
dered reconnaissance to be made by
one of his brigades. On its return 1t
reported no enemy in sight, and this
added greatly to the sense of security
that prevailed among the union troops,
for 1t was generally believed that
Early had left the valley for good,
discouraged by his recent defeats.
General Macauley at this time was
attached to Crooks corps as brigade
commander and stationed on the ex-
IRENE left, the late President. Hayes
holding similar position in the same
corps.
My camp" said General Macauley
was aroused just before daylight by
the noise of light firing. While it at
tracted sc-ne attention, we regarded
1t as picket firing only and of no con-
sequence. But upon it's continuance
some moments longer a group of Off
GERS gathered and discussed it's pos
sible meaning, none of us, however,
having any idea that it came from the
enemy in force, especially after so re-
cent a defeat. At this juncture ma
jor general rode up and ordered me to
send staff officer to the place from
which the firing evidently came, and
| If the trouble was found to be seri-
Gus, to order regiment that was sta
toned there to hold its position at
any cost and all hazards l had on
my staff a certain major who was
distinguished for his great courage.
