really only a stroke of good judgment.
The right wing of the army was given
to General Alexander Mcdowell Nc
Cook, a brilliant but unlucky fighter
McCook had won laurels at Shiloh and
in numerous other affairs, but his corps
was involved in disaster at Perryville
the Sth of October.
For leader of the left wing Rose
tenden, the noted Kentuckian. Among
his own people Crittenden was known
as Tom, for the family was large and
sent out more than one soldier. Gen
eral George b. Crittenden. younger
brother of Tom, went with the south,
and it was his army which Thomas de-
feated at Mil Springs. KY, in January,
1862. Like McCook, Tom Crittenden
had fought at Shiloh and earned his
spurs as a commander of troops. One
of the division officers in the new ar
my was an experiment as a leader of
infantry troops. This was Phil Sheri-
dan, who saw the edge of the battle
at Perryville, but little more. Sheri-
dan had been in the field only few
months. His first command was a reg
iment of cavalry stationed on Grants
outpOsts in Mississippi. beyond COrinth.

tives in the north, were certain orders
issued in May relating to women and
the execution in June of a citizen for
hauling down the United States flag.

ed upon his removal
About this time the Confederates put
in operation a plan to recapture New
Orleans. thus diSposinG of Butler. Gen
eral Richard Taylor. son of Zachary
Taylor of Mexican war fame, had taken
command Of the Confederate forces in
Western Louisiana. Taylor prepared to
defend the district west Of the Missis-
sippi river between New Orleans and
Baton Rouge until he could gather
strength to attack and recover the city
itself.
Meanwhile Butler had organized a
reserve brigade led by General Godfrey
Weitzel, and in October he sent it tC
dislodge Taylor from the west bank of
the river Escorted by five wooden
gunboats Weitzel's forces moved up the
river TO DOnaldsonyille. Hastily land

RAISING NEW BIRDS
FOR THE HUNTING FIELDS
Chinese Ringneck Pheasants Being
Propagated by Bird Fancier
of Meeker, Col

Meeker, Coll. f. Coulter, an en-
thusiastic bird fancier of Meeker, is
now undertaking to raise for game
purposes in and around this section
the Chinese ringneck pheasant. This
is the first attempt yet made to stock
the Western slope with birds of this
species.
Coulter began his experiments
about year ago, and so far his eff
forts have been rewarded with graft
flying success. He has not yet turned
any of his birds loose, for the pro-
ject is still in the experimental stage
and the time is not propitious. Next
year. however, he expects to lberate
the first flock.
The Chinese ringneck pheasant is
a hardy bird, with an unusually beau
tiful plumage, and, If properly pre-
pared, it makes a most succulent
dish. It's advent on the Western
slope will add much to the latter's
reputation as a hunting section.
