Flag of the Ellis County Bengal Tigers

Ran across this article of a company in the 4th Regt., Arizona Brigade that I thought I would share. Anyone know of its disposition?

DALLAS HERALD, September 16, 1863, p. 2, c. 2

Volunteers.—A fine company of Volunteer Cavalry numbering 78 men, from Ellis county, passed through this place on Saturday last, en route for the seat of war, and a fight. They bore a beautiful battle flag, with the name of the company—Ellis County Bengal Tigers—inscribed on it. We learn that the company was raised and organized in one day, and has joined the 4th Reg't of the Arizona Brigade, Col. Baird which is now on our Northern frontier. . . .
