miles, and came to the rescue. The deed IS
highly praised, though one wonders how 1t
happened that not single man OF them was
killed or wounded. Maj. Thornburgh who
was killed was brother of Congressman
Thornburgh, of East Tennessee. Capt.
Payne is Virginian from Warrenton
Agent N. c. Meeker was killed. Like some

cape.
