General Order No. 10 reads The garrison of this post has been ordered to other stations. Before the severance of ties which will always be a pleasing memory to him. The commanding Officer wishes to thank officers and men for the cordial support and assistance which they have given him. In thirty-seven years he has never been associated with better soldiers or more agreeable comrades. It seems probable that our country will soon require our services on the field of battle. The flag which we love - the flag carried to victory on many fields by Americans - by our fathers - will be as bravely borne by you and your grateful countrymen will honor your patriotism and devotion to duty. By order of Lieut. Col. Kellogg Signed E. H. Plummer 1st. Lieut. 10th. Infantry Adjutant." <br /> <br /> On a historical note the Commanding Officer General Nelson Miles sent a telegram to Lt. Col. Kellogg now at Rush Springs. Kellogg sent Capt. W. CF. Brown & his troop of the first Cavalry back to Fort Sill to quell a suspected uprising by Geronimo & the Apaches.
