1t seems probable that the salvation OF the
entire three conf anles of Ohio troops from |
humiliation 1T Vienna was due TO the fact |
that The train which took them up was fol- |
lowed at short distaICe by another train OF |
seven passenger cars, which the Disuuion |
troops eyldently supposed were also filled with |
soldiers Hence they did not leave their en- |
tTruChmelts pursue the ONO com panles.
The train below, however, consisted OF empty |
cars, the troops brought up in them having |
been dropped along the road. The mistake of |
the movement seems 10 have been in not |
