Marsh, one of the most prominent and most widely known business men of the line city. The obsequies will be this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, {, at the family residence.
 Deceased, who was about forty eight years of age, was native of Warrington, Indiana, and was reared in that state. His family were among the pioneers of that great commonwealth. Following the instincts of the pioneering spirit MT. Marsh came westward in early manhood, and made his horae from that time in the iron tier, locating for a time at El Paso. When Nogales appeared upon the map his attention was turned in this direction, and within a few years after the town started be located here and embarked in

missary; Second Lieutenant J. B. Aleshire.
 In passing it may not be amiss to state that the Sixth Cavalry is one of the famous organizations of the United States Army. As stated at the outset the regiment was organized in 1861 at the very be- ginning of the Civil War, and it performed most gallant and glori- ous service in that momentous and memorable conflict. Then in the winning of the West from savage domination the regiment performed it's full share of arduous service, having been stationed at one time or another in all parts of the great region lying west of the One Hun dreth Meridian of Longitude, and participating in all or nearly all the Indian Wars of that memorable epoch in American history. It has done also it's full share of work in the Spanish War, in the Philip pines and elsewhere in the insuar possessions. It is an organization with a record of service and of glory that all true Americans view with pride and qualification.
 At the time of it's organization and muster the Sixth Cavalry was commanded by Colonel David E.. Hunter, who was later a major general of volunteers and com manded in military operations in West Virginia and South Carolina. The successive colonels of the regi ment after General Hunter have been respectively, Colonel James Oakes, Colonel k. A Carr, Colonel David Gordon, Colonel 5. s. Sum- ner, Colonel T. J. Wint. Colonel Allen Smith, Colonel Wm. Stanton, Colonel Alexander Rogers, Colonel Charles NJ. O'Connor. The latter is now the commander of the regi- ment. Twenty years ago the regi- ment was in command of Colonel Eugene A. Carr, Afterwards briga- dier general and was stationed in Arizona and New Mexico. At the outbreak of the Spanish War it was again in Arizona, and was commanded then by Colonel s. s. Sumner, who became at that time a brigadier. Both Colonels Carr and Sumner are recalled with pleasure by many old time Ari- zonans.
 Major Forsythe, who may be called the titular commander of the Second Squadron, stationed now at Nogales, is on detached duty, as superintendent of the Yo- semitic National Park, in California, and command of the squadron devolves upon Captain J. W. Fur long, senior captain.
 In closing this account THE OASIS extends congratulations to Captain Furlong and his associates upon the success of the reception they rendered, and carried off so nicely.
