Fight at Carnifcx Ferry.

For the purpose of striking Floyd
and saving Cox, General Rosecrans
made rapid march toward the Gau-
ley valley. His route lay through
some of the most picturesque scenery
In the mountains, his army being COM
PEELED TO thread wild mountain roads
and narrow trails. Especially rugged
was the ascent of Gauley mountain,
the summit of which he reached on
Sept. o. He now began to encounter
Floyd's pickets and on the next day
saw the enemy In force. Floyd's posi-
tion was strong one. He was in a
bend of the river. with each of his
fianks protected by the stream. His
front was shielded by wood. A bat
terry on high ground commanded the
only road by which Rosecrans could
advance. The Union army was nearly
5000 strong and the enemy something
less.
The Federal commander sent for
ward brigade under General III. W.
Benham to reconnoiter In force. This
brigade consisted of three Ohio regi-
snents and two batteries. The battle
began upon the emergence of the I'm
ion troops from the woods. The Tenth
Ohio, Colonel Lytle, was In advance
and charged the Confederate center,
but was met by such hot fire that
the buckeye boys" sought shelter in
the woods. from which they continued
the fight. Lytle was wounded, and his
horse wns shot under him. General
Benhnm in the meantime ordered the
Twelfth and Thirteenth Ohio to attack
the Confederate right. which they did
under cover of the woods. Upon
emerging into the opep the roar of bat
tie became continuous in this new
quarter. One of the Union batteries
wns soon wheeled into position and
began n duel with the Confederate
guns, silencing two Of them. In lead.
Ing his advance Colonel John w, Lowe
OF the Twelfth Ohio was killed
General Rosecrans now ordered up
another brigade. consisting of three
more Ohio regiments, under the COM

According to the story that. is told,
the financing of the revolt aegotia-

READY FOR BUSINESS
Cavalier County Implement Com
pany, Successors to Mcmillan
Machine Company

A new advertisement which appears
in these columns this week is the open
ing spring announcement of the Cava-
lier County Implement Company, brief
announcement of the reorganization of
which was made in the local columns of
this paper last week. The Cavalier
County Implement Co., is the successor
to the OLD established Mcmillan Machine
Co., and the reorganization includes all
those who held stock in the old COM
pany with the additioneof' Mr.. Jno. w.
Pomroy as secretary and business mana
ger. Mr.. Pomroy up to the time of oe-
coming n of the incorporators of the
Cavalier Go. Implement Company was
for several years with the International
Harvester Co., being IN charge of their
head Office at Grand Forks when he
resigned. Years ago Mr.. Pemroy made
Milton his headquarters as machine
salesman and in fact has quite a wide
acquaintance with the trade over the
county. The Cavalier Co. Implement
Co., which in addition to it's main office
in Langdon also has branch depots at
Hannah and Wales, has as it's officers
the following men of we'll known local
business standing: President, j.. D.
Milne; vice-president, M. L. Sullivan;
treasurer, Robert Work; secretary and

The aforementioned officers together
with w. A. Laidlaw, of Minneapolis, also
form the company's board of directors.
Tho branch depot at Hannah is under
the management of Jas. F. Gleason and
the one at Wales has A. Kiefer as its
manager. Both have been with the old
Mcmillan Machine Co., for a number of
years and are we'll known as veteran
business hustlers.
