Had Lieut.. MeIgs a DoubIeg
TO Me EduOr

Knowing that historical accuracy is one Of
tho chief aims of your excellent paper, the
writer of this query, who is subscriber, also
a comrade of the G.. A. r., would like to
know whether there were two identical ofll-
GERS of engineers by name Moigs, both on
Gen. Sheridan's staff, and both killed by
bushwhackers. If there are, for one have
not heard of them, A war correspondent, in
your last issue, has very attractive story
entitled "My Friend Fanny" which, owing
to its minute details leads me to believe that
Il true incident is described, therefore my
question: Had Megs II double? =
Lieut. Meigs, son of the quartermaster gem
eral, quite young and very promising enS
gineer officer, member of Gen. Sheridanls
staff rode out, accompanied by an orderly
or two, from Sheridan's headquarters, on the
hill southeast suburbs OF Harrisonsburg, Va,
about oct. l, passed down the lane TO where
the Winchester pike passes aud which point
Gen. Crooks headquarters We're located,
stopped TO pass II pleasant word with that
officer, and never returned alive.
A rebel soldier Shaeiier by name, killed him
so the confederates claim. Sheridan took 4
different view-Shelly, war correspondent,
and myself were at SheTidan's headquarters
next day, while Custer was receiving his
orders to proceed with his cavalry and retail
ate by burning tho farmers houses within an
area of five miles, located southwest Of the
pike and in the hamlet of Dayton, being the
focus point. Well remember Custer as he
emerged from Sheridan's tent, mounted his
horse, waved his broad hat to that officer,
and with this characteristic utterance, "Look-
out for smoke" dashed Off to execute the
order.
Soon, from our fine look out, could be seen
columns of smoke, Eat scattered intervals" ("

Aurora has little jackass that enjoys a
drunken spree, and will drink liquor until
his ears can no longer wag, While under the
influence of wine or whisky he will perform
many amusing tricks Several weeks ago a
number of Bodieites visited Aurora. After
drinking all they could conveniently carry,
the Bodieites turned their attention to the
jack. He was escorted into saloon and the
champagne ordered The jack took his
medicine" like an old-timer After the
second quart had disappeared the animal be-
came frislSy and wanted more He tried to
climb on the bar, and when intimidated he
displayed bad temper by kicking county
official in the abdomen and biting lawyers

did the Incorporate jack quiet down. In the
morning he was found stretched out near
deserted building. A cocktail revived him,
and he was ready for another run with the
