finally run his finger down his throat and got
hold Of fragment Of the substance, and drew
out, IN great pain what proved 10 b. the bullet,

theirs for over four years. The bullet was
weighed nt the counter Of G. H. Williams. in this
village, and weighed little over one ounce.

fatal day, by his comr ads, and left for dead. He
laid on the battlefield for seventeen days and

the heat Of the sun, without any namable thing
