That baggageman was puzzled. II
was very large and rather heavy
trunk, made Of sole leather and COW
cred with heavy canvass. Ia getting
1t out Of the car he let it fall, striking
on one of its corners. It bounced
about foot high, and seemingly
danced jig. He stopped his work,
walked around it two or three times,
and finally stopped to give it a kick.
1t withstood all the assaults without
damaging it in the least. He piled
it ON top of the heap on the truck and
gave it another tumble from its lofty
position. 1t appeared to be struggle
which was made Of the best stuff, the
trunk or the baggageman, but fins lily
he gave it up and walked off behind
the baggage room door and cried be-
cause he had found one piece of bag
gage he couldn't smash.

on Wednesday night. In fact they
would not have had hearing at all
if it had not been for the boys aud a
few Of our Hayes and Wheeler men,
who took pity on them and went to
hear them. Tisdale spoke first, then
Pat Brady, then Rogers, the money
ioaner. He Gays he has large 50 fe
full Of money, and he will not loan
any more until he finds out whether
the Government is going to resume in
1879. He says If resumption takes
place at that time it will bust him
and Jim both. Then I. T. Flint clos
ed the service by repeating part of
Pat speech, in fact it was q repeti-
ton Of something like this from the
beginning: The repu blicans are set
of thieves and robbers, and then the
boys would stamp and yell.
John Fnllen and some other promi-
nent democrats down here say Major
Hamilton made good democratic
speech last Tuesday night. The
Hayes and Wheeler Club would like
to have him deliver another demo-
cratic speech of the same kind, when-
ever he can make it convenient. That
shows their perceptiveness, don't it :?
If Nasty don't quit sending so much
Of his writings to Agency It will pos

PERSONAL.

We were pleased to receive d call
yesterday, from Revs. De Moss and
Brown, the former Presiding Elder
of this district. and the latter stated
preacher here, of the United Breth-
rem Church.
Mr.. De Moss formerly lived in this
county, his father, Peter, having been
one of the May 1874 settlers near
Dahlonega. He however, left this
county about thirty years ago and
since then died. His son. the subject
Of this notice, has grown, in the mean
time, from mere STRIPPING to be one
of tho stalwart members of his or
der in Iowa.
Mr.. Brown was q musketeer in the
18th Iowa, and for the first time gives
us some reliable Information of the
cate of Joseph Hcckcrt, formerly a
we'll known citizen of this county,
who was the messmate of Mr.. Brown
in I'D" company, 18th Iowa.
On the morning, or speaking more
precisely, at high noon, Of the 22d
day of July, 1864, General Hood hay
ing skillfully massed Hardec's corps
in the woods on the extreme left of
Sherman's army. hurled it with great
|audacity against the refused line of
our army which consisted of the Iowa
Brigade, of which the 18th Iowa was
then the extreme left, and the first to
receive the shock perpendicular to its
line. In tho course of the action,
which was one of uncommon severity,
the enemy turned the left Of Sher-
mans army, and SO it happened be-
fore long that the conflict became one
at close quarters and hand to hand,
the losses being very severe on both
sides, especially SO in Cleburn's d.
vision Of Hardee's corps, which was
the attacking column. Among the
persons reported missing in this ac-
ton was the aforesaid Joseph Heck
ert. 1t was, however, the opinion of
his officers that he was killed, but the
action was iii a dense woods, and as
no one had seen him killed he was
thus reported missing.
Some time ago, however, Mr..
Brown, in the course of his ministe-
rial services met soldier in Nilsson
ri who had fallen in with Heckert in
Andersonville, and who was at his
side when he died in that rebel pris-
on. Mr.. Brown became so we'll sat
isfied Of the accuracy of the state
ment that he 90 convinced Mrs.
Heckert and the family and preach
ed his funeral sermonat his late resi-
dence in Green township, in this
county.
And so 1t seems to DO conclusive
that the good citizen and soldier, Jo-
seph Heckert, may be added to the
long list of men who were brutally
starved to death at Anderaonville.

Joseph Leighton, Of Ft. Buford, Is
in the city on visit to his relatives.
He informs US that on q recent trip
to Fl. Peck, loo miles above Buford,
he interviewed an Indian at that
Agency who was one of the eight
who joined Sitting Bulls command,
seven Of them returning to camp aft
ter the campaign terminated. This
Indian said that the assault on Gus.
ter's command only lasted thirty
minutes all told, and that the Indians
only lost SO men; that most Of Gus
tcr's men fell at the first fire in the
ambuscade into which tho Indians
had skillfully led Custer. He more.
over says that Sitting Bull intended
to annihilate Reno and after that turn
upon Terry and serve him tho same
way, but that tho great dust which
Terry's column set up gave the In.
dians an exaggerated idea of Terry'f
strength, hence the hasty retreat Of
the Indians. He claims that Sitting
Bull had men enough. to accomplish
these purposes. which he (the Indian)
estimated at ten thousand warriors.
These eight men were the only In.
dams that left Fl. Peck, and the seven
returned braves deny that they were
in the active hostilities of the CAM
paign, although they brought back
many Custer mementoes, including
cavalry horses which belonged to
Clusters command, and n medicine
chest which belonged to Custer'i
surgeon, Lord, and which Mr.. Leigh
ton purchased of tho Indian and sent
