Three days before the ufftir nt
Kelly's Ford A Corporal in the .Sixth
Michigan Cavalry dreamed that a
brother of bis, who was a Sergeant
iu auotber company, would have his
burse killed iu acliou, and wonl I ul
uiost iiumediutt-ly mouut a dark bay
horse with a white nose. Withiu
live minutes both horse aud ri let
would be killed by a shell. This
dresu was related to more than a
score of comrades fully two days bo-
fore tho tight, l.irly in tho action
tbe Sergeant's horse was struck
square in tbo forehead by a bullet,
aud dropped de id in bis tracks. It
was scarcely throo minutes before a
wbito-facod horse, carryiuo; a blood
stuiuod saddle, galloped up to tbe
Sergeant aud halted, lie romoiu
bered tho dream, aud refused to
mount the animal, aud soon after
picked up a black horse. The white
uosod atiiiuul was mounted by a sec
ond corporal iu another regiment,
and bone aud rider wore toru to
fragtnouts by a shell iu full sight of
four companies of the Sixth. These
things may saom very fooliih n v,
but there was a time when a soldier's
dream saved (J au, Kilp itriek a life i
when a dream cbaoged Custer's plaus
for three days t when a dream pre
routed Gen. Tolbert's camp from a
surprise and ouptnre t nn J wheu a
dream gave Gun, Sheridan more so
curate knowledge of Marly' forces
than all the soouls.''
We knew when In the army a sim
ilar result of a dream. When lying
at Sandy ilook, Ml, ia July 18U1,
we had iu our company a youug man
of known courage. Ou the uioruing
of July 2 1 he ea.ua to the ciptaiu iu
command aud said that be was sate
that some of tho' company wool I be
hurt very aooo. as ho bad dreamed
that he lay ou a stretoher and a sur
seoa was outtiug a slit op his leg,
buntiug a bullet, Jlo desoiibod the
doctor very noouralelv, and as be
was different from any surgeon on
duty at the post, all hi'Viad at ht.n
About an hour afterwar I a strange
