HANO00K's sALUTING MATCH,
A Good Story Of His Frontier Life Before The
War.


frankfort. KY July TO-
TO the Editor of the New York Fri
June
A citizen Of Frankfort, Ky, form.
erly a Sergeant in the regular army.
told us few nights ago the follow.
ing story of Hancock's army life.
which illustrates a trait of his char.
acter with which more than one pri.
waite soldier in the late war was Ia
miliar:
81 was stationed before the war"
he began, sat Fort Leayenworth, and
was on detached duty as orderly at
the headquarters of General A. j.
Smith. General Hancock was also
stationed at that post, being a Cap
tain in the Sixth United States In.
fantry uRder Harvey. My duty re-
CURED my constant attendance about
headquarters, and generally / loitered
in the little yard ia front of the
building used by General Smith,
which was directly upon the street.
Army officers frequently passed by,
and one day Captain Hancock, who
was noted among the private soldiers
for his pompous, arrogant and tyran.
meal bearing, came along the road
in front of the headquarters.
Gas required by army regulations
| drew myself up in proper position
and made the customary salute. He
paid no more attention to me or my
salute than if l had not been there al
all, and went on his way. Later in
the day he returned and as be passed
by, feeling somewhat nettled by bis
treatment On me before, / didn't ga,
lutte him. He had passed me few
steps, when he turned and said, in a
savage way, Orderly, do 20 know
your duty?' Il think I know it,
replied. Then, sir, why didn't you
salute me as l passed p | told him
didn't tender the salute because be
failed, as duty required, to return nv
salute when he first came by. We
had some other words, when Genera
Smith, who, it seems, was in The
second story Of the house and had
overheard our conversation, poked
his head out Of the window above u.
and persmptorily cried out, Order
Typ yes, SIR You will pace tina
(the sentineps beat) for ha' an hour
and salute Captain Hancock every
time you pass him, and Captain Han
cock will keep his position and re
turn your salute.
"And there" said the ex.soldier

the beat for half an hour, salutine
Hancock every time | passed, ana
he had to stand there aud return my
salute. And that" said the veteran
to Democrat, who stood by listen
ing to the conversation, sis your can

is good enough and a nice mar
among officers, but he hasn't any
use for the private soldier, unless ht
