A War Relic.


Major X. b. Chappell, OF Englo-

torn and shows the effects OF its long
usage during the rebellion. That flag
has history. 1t was the flag pre-
scented 10 the first company OF the first
regiment OF Ohio Volunteers. Capt.
Joab A. Stafford, OF Lancaster O. 1t
was presented 10 the company on
April l6, 1861, four days after the
firing upon Fort sumter by the rebels.
Capt. Stafford reported for duty and
was mustered in by Governor Denni-
son nj ] | p. m, April l6, 1861, and
went TO Washington. ID. c.. where he
was assigned as captain OF Co. A OF
the LIST O. v. L.; served three years
and was mustered out as major; after
wards raised and was colonel OF the
10th o. V. l. He died In Chicago
lately. and his remains rest in Rose
Hill cemetery. The flag was carried
by the company through many an en-
gagement, and is now the property OF
Mrs. Stafford. 1t was presented to
the company by Mrs. Steele. sister
OF Mrs. Gen. Sherman. Major Chap
pell was a member OF the same regi-
ment. and carried this relic with
him TO the National Encampment OF
the Grand Army nj Boston last month.
He felt more pride in carrying
that old flag than he would to be one
OF the chief officers on that eventful
occasion. II there Is one thing more
than another that an old soldier clings

not grow into young lady and talk
about her beauty before she was in
her teens, and she did not read dime

She had respect for her elders, and

Will be soon east aside as being utterly

While 1t Is true that great improve

why the sabre must go. When any
of the weapons OF warfare are con-

Some writer's argue that the revolt

that IL was demonstrated in the late
war that the sabre was never used;
that they were only in the way. The
same was said OF the bayonet; still we
see in looking over the history OF the

ROBERT M'GEE.


les. On the 18th of July, near where the
city of Great Bend now stands, Little Tur
ties band of Sioux warriors attacked the
train. The whites fought long and well,
but were overpowered and every one killed
except young MCGEE.
1t seems that the Indians at first intended
to spare him for some reason, but after
compelling him to witness the torture Of
others not quite dead they decided to kill
him also. The chief shot him with the ele-
giant pistol he carried as Lincoln souvenir,
and three spears were run into his back as
he lay upon the ground. Little Turtle then
tore off his scalp and struck him twice with a
tomahawk, fracturing the skull at each
blow. The savages. departed, and in few
hours party Of soldiers arrived on their
way to Fort Larned. Sorrowfully they
gathered the corpses for burial, but per-
ceiving signs of life in MCGEE they bound
up his wounds and took him to the fort.
The surgeons exhausted their skill upon
him; the struggle was long and terrible,
but he lived-as remarkable a recovery as
any related in history. The details were
laid before President Lincoln, who sent for
yhe boy, and was deeply affected by his &C
count. The western generals were directed
to favor him in employment. Many years
after McGee's uncle acquired wealth in the
west and tried to recover the scalp from
Little Turtle, but unsuccessfully. MCGEE
is now apparently in robust health, but Of
course terribly disfigured.
