Kansas City Newsl
To-day there is man going about the
streets Of this city, ragged, dirty and pen
niless, subsisting on free lunches and the
charity of gamblers, and has not slept in a
bed for months, who, during the war, was
one of the most dashing cavalry officers in
the Union army, and was promoted from
the rank Of first lieutenant to fly brigat
dier and brevet general for brilliant ex-
ploits on the field of battle, and who for q
long time had large and important COM
mand:
He has been here for two or three months
under an assumed name, being ashamed to

vice Of his country by an exhibition of his
degradation under his former honored
name. He is generally very reticent, hav.

him by stealing his shirt, and proceeded
to strip him. Underneath his shirt, and
suspended by string around his neck,
was small canvass bag, which the men

gratulatOry letters, one from Grant and
one from President Lincoln, photograph
of little girl and a curl of hair-a "chest-
nut shadow" that doubtless one day crep
oyer the brow of some loved one.
When these things were discovered, even
the half-druken men who found them felt
respect for the mans former greatness,
and pity for his fallen condition, and
quietly returned the bag and contents to
where they found them, and replaced the
Esleeper's clothes upon him. Yesterday a
Ne,cs reporter tried to interview the man
and endeavor to learn something of his
life in the past few years, but he declined
to communic cate anything. He cried like
a child when told how his right name and
former position were ascertained, and, with
tears trickling down his cheeks, said: "FOr

said, had wrought his ruin.
