A Gettysburg Incident
Albany Argus.

A gentleman told me yesterday Of q strange
experience related by a friend OF his II was
during the battle of Gettysburg that his friend,
Just before entering the action, took his csnteen
from his shoulder and hid il in q crevice in the
rock. Then came that fiery hail OF shot and
she'll that swept down regiments like fields Of
wheat before the reaper. At the close Of the
battle the soldier forgot all about his can,eeu,
nor did il ever occur to him again until he
visited the field ct the late reunion. Then IL
flashed through his mind, and after q few min
utes' search he found il where he had left 10 on
that tnomensous day. 1t seems scarcely credi-
bic that 1t could have been overlooked during
the minute exploration of the field ever since the
war, but the gentleman who related the in.
cident is Of unimpeschabls veracity.

mitted by railroad men. To an Associated

quoted; in fact. will not be, but if the Wabash
Western discharge men for refusal to handle
Burlington engines, l cannot see how trouble
can be averted- This Burlington matter 10 what
has led to the proposed federation, and l earn
estly hope 1t will be settled without . great
struggle"
Referring to the refusal of wabash Western
employees to handle Burlington engines, T. j.
Carroll, a member OF the switchmsn's grievance
committee, said to an Associated Press reporter:
while l am not at liberty 20 say what action
will be taken in the premises, l know something

hostlers really comes within the jurisdiction OF
