A Shot from an Indiana Man.

Ostrander Ward, 20. /, 93th Ind, Marshall,
Mimi, says that about the middle OF January,
1869. he arrived at Nashville on his way to the
front from one of the hospitals at Louisville,
XIV, where he found one of his own company,
Bill Thorn. He thinks, by the way, that the
Zollicoffer House was about the dirtiest place
that he ever struck in all his life Thorn was
on duty as cook, and he was very anxious to
ioin the company at the front, and ho got ex-
cused and started with the writer to Murfrees-
boro There were about 100 others III the
party and they marched out mile or two, but
for some reason they had TO return to the start
ing point. After they had got under cover a
storm set in, but before it was over they
started once more for the front, the rain falling
in torrents, which considerably dampened
their patriotism. After while the command
broke up into squads, and the writer stopped at
a deserted house to rest and eat dinner When
inst on the point of starting, two other COM
rades came and proposed that they remain
until the storm was over SO they set about
Collecting fuel, and as that was in plenty. they
soon had rousng fire. When night came
they climbed into the loft and locked them
selves in by pulling up the ladder. They had
a grand nights rest and awoke in the morning
TO find the ground covered with snow, and as il
continued to snow all day they remained in
side. His friends however, went out long
enough to catch pig, which was brought IN
out of the storm and put near the nre, ana one
of the boys found leaky COW somewhere, and
sooner than let this mil k run to waste they used
some of it in their coffee. They remained in
the hut all night, and after hearty breakfast
in the morning of roast pig. coffee and hard
tack, they struck out for their destination.
For awhile sleigh would have been of use, but
the mud soon took the place of the snow. The
writer would like to know who the officer was
who had charge of that party which started

and accounted for Comrade Thorn gaze up
his life at Chickamauga and the other comrades
were never seen from that day 10 this. He
would like to hear from them if they read this
sketch.

Carrolrs Brigade at Gettysburg.

Charles C.. Callahan. Lieutenant Colonel 4th
Ohio Bingham, Kan, says that Comrade
Peck of the 18th Conn.,, in q recent article
undertakes to read CAROLS Brigade out of the
fight at Gettysburg, aud he says that the 18th
Conn. was not relieved either by Hays's or
CarrolPs Brigades any other troops on the
evening of July g, 1868. until after the fight
ing was all over and the danger was past
| In this he is correct, as the writer knows the
fact, for they found them in good shape and
ing good fight. But when he says that he
distinctly recollccts when the 4th Ohio came
in on their right aud dropped down in their
rear he is away of, and he is also of when be
says that the 4th Ohio did nothing, for the
simple reason that there was nothing to do.
The fact is that Carrolfs Brigade came from
the west, passed through the batteries on
East Cemetery Hill, their left near the old
Cemetery gate and their right extending
| little to south of those batteries. They
met the enemy in those batteries; the 18th
| Ohio's first loss being there, as the writer saw
| some of his men fall. They pressed the
enemy back rapidly until they crossed the
road at the foot of the hill, where they halted
and fred at least 90 rounds, the artillery join
/ ing in after they had passed. Here they
| found the 18th Conn.,, their right overlapping
| them by few rods and they formed on their
| left, but there were not any Union troops in
| the line as far as Carrolls Brigade front went.
| The men of CarrolPs Brigade only want credit
| for what they did, and do not want to cast q
| shadow on any troops in this affair. The writer
| thinks Ames's men fought well. but their line
was broken and Carrolls mon helped to restore

honored in public life, and every

Capt. Lucas has taken such an import

he is far above the average, and that
he will make a record for himself and
South Dakota in congress of which we

atfable, courteous and generous; a man
who makes friends and holds them; a
true-heartcd, kind. manly man. Let
his own county and his own city. unite

Reno has found it necessary to inn
port workers for him from Custer
coanty, and Ed. Lemmons and Frank
Stewart are travelling through Fall
River county trying to round up few
votes for Reno. We understand they
claim that they can control all the COW
boys and their friends in the county;
that tine boys will vote just as they tell
them to. We don't believe 1t. The
cowboys of this county are intelligent
men, and cannot be driven into cleo
tion boothes like a lot of cattle into a
corral. Frank Stewart and Ed. Lem.
mon are so accustomed to rounding
up cattle that they imagine they can
round up votes in Fall River county
the same way. They have before now
failed in corraling votes in Custer
county, even for themselves. and they
will find even greater difficulty in
''herd,ng" the votes Of this county for
Ludlow B. Reno. If Reno hasn't
friends enough in this county to help
him in his canvass he is indeed in hard
luck, for he has abandoned the field in
his own county of Custer and has
brought his whole force over here. 1t
will be a cold November day when
they round up majority of Fall
River county votes.

BOLD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

In order to make it appear that the
STAR has endeavored to dec.;ve the
people concerning the bonds that have
been given to indemnify the county
and the taxpayers against any loss or
damages, the Herald publishes bond
that has no connection whatever with
the cases in which Mr.. Bradley ia in
terested, and then falsely states that
mo other bond has ever been given. -
People may be convinced of .he Her.
aids bold falsehoods by referring to
the article which appears elsewhere in
this issue over Mr.. BradlAy's own sig
nature. IL this isn't sufficient to prove
the Herald dishonest and deceptive.
"trving to prejudice the minds of the
people, there can be no proof that it
has ever SAID word about Mr..
Bradley.
The STAR repeats its statement of
last week. that "if the supreme court
snStains the circuit court Il then
MIR. Bradley will pay out the court
house funds that he now holds. and the
parties who have given lndemnifving
bonds will pay the interest. This is
all there ia to it, So the STAR said
on Oct. 2lst. and so we repeat TODAY.
Notwithstanding the Herald's base and
daring falsehoods to the contrary.
When rarer will stoop to snch
methods of misrepresentation its u.e-
fullness to the public is ended, and
the STAR hopes that the taxpayers will
retain copies of the daily Herald of
November 1st. as a memorial of
that papers complete snbserviency to
downright and wilful falsifying.

The strife over the office of county

Consider carefully the course that each

proposa to reward the actions Of com
missioners, two of whom are publicly
accused of being bribed, and whose
chairman the Herald says is under in
dictment for embezztement, or honest
honorable James Bradley, whose Off
clal and private records are as pure
and spotless as snow.

The Herald strains Itself, as usual,
to spring the deadly parallel upon the
STAR, but in order to make out any
kind of Il case for itself it substitutes a
head to each paragraph quoted. When
the STAR said that She ablest ATTORNEYS
in the Hills were consulted, the Her.
aid knew very we'll that the STAR did
not mean Mr.. Boomer. The Herald
knew that we alluded to Chauncey
Wood and IL. q. Rice. Talk about
trying to prejudice the minds of the
people" Such slush is sickening, es-
peciaIly when doled out by IL sheet that
deals i'll no other kind of material.

"a Statement Of the Finances.

"J.S. Noodle, commissioner of Fall
River county considered it his duty
ito give brief statement of the finan
ces Of the county" through she Herald
last evening. As the article was given
in an official capacity, and was ad.
dressed ..to the taxpayers of Fall River
county, we anticipated that it would
abound with facts and figures that
would satisfy people that what he
might say was correct. Among other
brilliant ~ breaks he said:
"All ask is to give us officers in
the county who will work to the in
terests of the county and not expend
the finances on law suits and interests
on warrants, bonds and judgments,

How men who have been for years
bitterly denouncing the democratic
party can now vote for Weaver elec-
tors, knowing that by SO doing they
virtually cast vote for Cleveland, is
difficult to comprehend. They could
scarcely vote for Cleveland in more
direct manner this year. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that either Harrison or
Cleveland will be president. Which
shall it be? A vote for Weaver elec.
tors is vote for Cleveland for
president.

AS l have above stated there are
three of these bonds, making a
total of $4,000. These are to
cover the amounts still claimed by
Mr.. Evans, and all costs and dam
ages-which of course will include
the interest that the judgment
held Mr.. Evans is drawing-and is
guaranteed to be paid by the sew
eral different bondsmen Teach bond
being signed by different partiesl
providing the lower court is sus-
tanned by the supreme court.
The bond which the Herald pub
fishes has nothing to do with the
cases with which l am connected,
and that papers malicious work is
therefore clearly apparent.
Thus the taxpayers may draw
their own conclusions as to where
"the falsehoods have been set
afloat" are originating, and what
parties are attempting to deceive
and prejudice the minds OF the
people. The Herald's fasehoods
and constant deception are appar-
ent to all who will honestly study
the facts.
1t should be understood that
these same parties-the county
commissioners-whom the Herald
is industriously sustaining and per-
sistently quoting in opposition to
me are the same individuals who
are responsible for heaping upon
the county floating indebtedness
of about $780, 600 within the past
two years, exclusive of the bonded
indebtedness.
trust that this brief explanation
of the facts is sufficiently plain to
convince the taxpayer that they
are not paying fourteen per cent.

We We're somewhat surprised at the
alacrlty with which the Herald re.
snonded to our challenge to prove
that the taxpayers are paying fourteen
per cent interest. Ii proved beyond II
doubt that it is an expert in mathe.
matics. 1t satisfied the taxpayers that
twice seven when added up amounts
to fourteen. But the SrAl desires to
correct the Herald 10y informing it Of
something THAT it probably ALREADY
knows. and that is that when Mr..
Evans obtained Judgment against the
county that virtually paid the war;
rants. IL transferred the collateral
from warrants into Judgment. The
Herald knows, or should know this.
This judgment will probably draw in
terest, but as we have time and again
stated, and every taxpayer IN the
county now understands, there is an
indemnifying bond given by RESPONSE
bic citizens, and accepted bv Judge
Gardner, that guarantees ali loss TO
anybody interested. If the lower
court is sustained then the interest and
all loss will he paid by the individuals
who signed this bond.
The Herald is purposely deceiyinp
the taxpayers. We are willing to
credit it with having better sense than

are paying IA per cent--when every.
