AN accident happened yesterday that may
go far toward putting an end to the martial
diversion of sham battles. At Marysville, Mo-,
the soldiers of southern Iowa and northwest
Missouri were holding reunion, and u sham
battle was a part of the programme. A bat
terry was to be charged. Unfortunately one
of the guns was loaded with wad, and as a
gallant veteran, filled with the excitement
of the imaginary contest, rushed by the mua-
zle the wad was blown through his body, and
his right shoulder and arm were torn of. lie
died Immediately.
