to-, at the, same time drawing his revolvers
and emptying the barrels of each, before he
fell; eleven of the enemy were killed and two
wounded in the brief space of four minutes,
when. the Lieutenant fell mortally wounded.
The survivors then repaired to the house Of
Mrs. Ely, in the immediate vicinity, and told
her that particular friend of hers was lying
dead il the road short distance off, Baa4s
Upon asking his name, and being told that
il was 1t. Gambrill, Mrs. Ely replied, "that
she would bury him If It cost her life' You

would have killed him, but added. that had
