First Flag

Recently we had call from Cll. c. F.
Steele. He is known to have been the
man who got up the first flag in this
county in response to the call of the
President fer sevenJy-five thousand
men to save the Union. The Col. says
the first money he paid out towards that
object vas two dollars for flag staff to
put on the Court House, which re nain-
ed there until the close of the war. The
man who assisted him in getting up the
flag waa Capt. Hiram Craft, of Indian
apolis, who superintended the making
of it the first one who agreed to volun-
teer with him was Walter HewetsOn, of
Bridgeport. The CHRONICLE Office vol
unteered printing the bills for meet
ing. The man who made the most i'm
pressive speech was Rev. johnson, who
said he only had one son, but was will
ing he should enlist. The boy sprang up
at once and enrolled his name. An elO-
quent speech was made by Ross Alex
ander, ESQ.,, who, like Artemus Ward,
was willing his "wife's relations" should
60. The ladies of the place made beau
tiful silk flag for the company, which
was presented by Miss Lizzie Groves.
1t was taken by the company to Camp
Anderson, Lancaster, Ohio, where it
was adopted as the Regimental Flag of
the 18th Ohio, and carried through the
three months service. The Col. return
ed for three years with the 62d Reg't.,
taking with him one of the finest COM
panies in the State, from Somerton, this
county, and remained in the service till
the 18th of July. 1868, when, while lead
ing a charge on Fort Wagner, was terri
bly, wounded. Every officer with him
except two was killed or wounded
one of which was Captain Taylor of the
Belmont company, who was spared then
only to fall in the next battle. The
wounded, as soon as they could be re-
moved, were sent to New York, where
the Col. was met by Mr.. Alex. Branum
and taken out to his home. Few who
saw him then thought he could ever re-
cover from his injuries-from which he
still continus to suffer at times, severe
ly. The Col. also represented this coun-
ty in the Mexican war, and was one OF
the first to go to California-having
joined the expedition of Gov. Shannon
in the fall of 1S4S and sailed round
Cape Horn, making the voyage in five
months and half.

ANOTHER unsuccessful attempt was
made on Monday near the Bellaire stock
Yards to have two trains on the B. & o.
road pass each other on the same track.
The passing point of the East and West
bound morning trains is at the stock
yards, but the eastbound train not being
in on time the west-bound continued on
its way without orders, it is stated. In
the meantime freight train from the
yards backed up to the bridge track and
was about ready to start over the river
when the train which had gone west
came rushing back, running its rear
sleeper into the hind car of the freight,
demolishing it completely and demoral-
izing the sleeper" considerably. No
one was injured. Again we remark
that "screw appears to be loose" in the
Train dispatcher's Office at Beliaire.

On Wednesday evening of last week
a very bloody shooting and cutting af-
fray occurred in the lookup in Martins
Ferry, in which three men came very
near losing their lives. 1t seems that
colored man named Otho Gilmore had
been arrested on the previous evening
on the charge of drunk and disorderly
conduct, and fined $3 and costs, and In
default was put in the lookup, from
which he succeeded in mailing his escape
on Wednesday. About o'clock officer
VIM. Linn re-arrested his man and re-
turned him to the lookup without any
trouble. Before putting him in the cell
however, he was searched and bottle
of liquor taken from his pocket, to which
proceeding he took exceptions, when
| the officer reached for his mace, but be-
fore he succeeded in drawing it, the ne
gro was upon him with razor, the first
cut laying Linn's face open from bis
ear to his mouth. Several other seri-
Gus gashes were inflicted, when the Off
Ger got out his revolver and commenced
firing. During the fracas, Joseph Bay
| less and a number of other citizens had
entered the room, and Bayless was at.
tempting to protect the officer, and re.
ceiyed several cuts from the murderous
razor, and a severe kick in the abdomen
While Linn was shooting, the other two
men were in close quarters, and one oi
his balls took effect in Bayless' knee
the negro was also seriously wounded
in the shoulder. At first itwas thought
that both Linn and Bayless would die
and if such had been the case, we would
most likely have had a lynching to re-
cord, as both are good and well-knowI
citizens, and free talk was INDUCED il
by the excited crowd which had gather
ed, about rope and lamp-post. A
last reports it is thought that all tn
, parties to the fracas will recover.
Gilmore had a preliminary hearing be
fore Mayor Mitchell on Monday, AM
was held in the sum of $1,000 for hi
appearance at court, and in default wa
brought to jail in this place on Tuesday
