ANOTHER WAR SroRY.-There
lives in Detroit a man who was wound
ed five times in less than ten minutes
at the battle OF Fair Oaks. The first
bullet entered his left arm, the second
gave him a scalp wound, the third hit
him in the foot, and the fourth buried
itself IN his shoulder, and the fifth
entered his right leg. While he was
being carried to the rear the first two
men who took him were killed.
While his wounds were being dressed
up an exploding shell almost buried
him under an avalanche Of dirt. In
being removed farther to the rear, a
runaway ambulance horse carried him
half a mile and dumped him out, and
yet to day he is seemingly hale and
hearty, and walks without limp.
