JUDGE srILLwELL,s STORY

We missed the copy of the New
York Tribune containing Judge Still
wells story of the battle of Shiloh
when it first appeared, and when we
asked the Judge for a copy of the pa
per, he gave it to us only after exact.
ing promise that we would say
nothing about it in the paper. The
promise did not bind us not to quote
what other papers might say about it,
however, and so we clip the following
from the Topeka Lance. If this is
contempt of court" make the most
of it:
The tenth of the New York 7ribune's
series of "war stories," told by private
soldiers, appeared in the weekly Ii'ib-
tEne of November %, is headed "Scenes
at Shiloh,n and was written by that
honored and beloved Kansan, Judge
Leander Stillwell. Judge Stillwell
saw the battle of Shiloh as private
i'm the 61st Illinois volunteers, and his
story is boy soldiers account of his
first battle. 1t is throughout gen-
uine "touch of nature" He tells all
he saw as he might have told it the
day after the battle, and the reader,
IL he has eyes in his mind, can see it
all; the bright Sunday morning, the
sounds of the fight moving from right
to left, with a noise like "the sweep
of a thunder shower in summer time
over the hard ground of stubble
field;n the old colonel riding up to the
center of the regiment and addressing
the command as gentlemen and
encouraging the men to give the ene-
my the best they have in the shop;
the approach of the foe, "a long,
brown line with muskets at a right
shoulder shift" and so on through all
the VARYING fortunes of the bloody
fight till night came.
The charm of the story is the. nat
uralness with which the writer, While
aiming to tell about the battle, pic
lures the boy volunteer soldier, know
ing nothing and fearing nothing, and
undismayed by all the terrors and
horrors of the scene, filled with an
everlasting and unslaked curiosity to
know what is going on, which he en-
deavors to satisfy by inquiring of all
the officers he meets.
1t is all beautifully done in the Ian
guage of Western Illinois. OF the
faithfulness TO nature this paragraph
is an illustration:
'"There was red bird that would
come every morning about sun-up snd
perch himself in tall, black oak tree
in our company street, and for per-
haps half an hour he would practice
on his impatient, querulous note that
said, as plain as a bird could say,
"Boys, boys! get up! get up! get up!"
1t became standing remark among
the boys that he was Union red bird
and had enlisted in our regiment as a
musician to sound the reveille.n

Bennett Naples, his wife, and what is
called the poor mans blessing, a num-
Der OF children. Naples succeeded
IN renting a house, the property of
d. Spiegel, and went about town
looking for employment. On Mon
DAY afternoon the children left the
mouse and went out to play. They
wandered along the bank of the FL
lis ditch until little one, three wears
OF age, fell in and was drowned. In
stead OF giving an alarm or attempt
ing a rescue (they were all very
young) the others went home and told
their mother what had happened. The
children pointed out the place where
the child fell in, and the ditch was
followed down more than a mile be-
fore the body was discovered. The
family being in destitute circum-
stances, Mr.. John Wallace collected
something over twenty dollars to sup
ply their Immediate wants.

OwYHEE AVALANCHE; The most
important event of the week in our
local mining circles is the great strike
made in the Howe Manhattan mine,
at De Lamar. This is one Of the
properties adjoining the great Wilson
claim of the De Lamar group, and
from present indications the owners
have struck the ledge whlchis known
as the 17-foot ledge in the latter
property. They have the same rich
silver tale formation, have crosscut
the ledge for thirty-fve feet and are
still in it, with fortune in sight.
We frequently hear this mountain
spoken of as the second Comstock.
From present appearances the Com
stock people will sometime be calling
that lode a second De Lamar.

that he was not hurt, however, and
went on with his work as though
nothing had happened. After death
it was discovered that his side was
severely bruised and his ribs were
broken by the accident. W. F.
Wardwell's theory is that he was in
ternally injured, and when infamma-
ton set in death was the quick re-
suit.
