CHICAGO. Oct. 5-The death Of John NJ.
Moan, Sioux City millionaire, in a drink
cure establishment in this city brings to
light interesting though curious facts in con-
nection with the circumstances of his de-
mise. Ten years ago lie was a moneyless
employee in the West Chicago street railway
shops. He accumulated little capital later
in the beer bottling business, and then. in
the height Of the prohibition agitation, re-
moved TO Sioux City, purchasing for a NOM
inal sum 800 acres of land on the Nebraska
side of the Missouri River, to which he
built a pontoon bridge. a town of 5000
inhabitants sprang mp as If by magic, and
the bridge tolls of % cents head charged
to IowaDs for crossing over to Nebraska,
where liquor could be had, proved a VERT
able bonanza. Means relatives denied that
he was being treated for the drink habit,
saying he was suffering from nervous ex-
haustiOn and was given an overdose OF
chloral. DR.. Lucas declares that he died
from alcoholism.

TAKE YOUR BRIGADE IN THEREp'
COOKS men rallied. AS soon as the front
OF one battalion of regulars was cleared of
McCook's men the muskets began to play
upon the advancing enemy. Beginning on
the left flank, the fire by files gradually
rolled along until it ended in one continual
roar that hearers ut IL distance already ac-
customed to battle din declared appalling.
The first line of Confederates was seat
tered like chaff; the second advanced n
few PAGES, halted and stoically received the
fire. a third line ceased firing and took
up the bayonet, but the regulars calmly
stood in their tracks, though great gaps in
the ranks warned them that persistence i'm
that sort of thing meant their annihilation
fortunately word was carried from Gen
Thomas to the brigade that the line of
battle on the ridge in their rear had been
established to cover the retreat of Nc
Cooks men. and the position in the cedars
could be abandoned. The battalions
marched back separately, and at roll call
the Eighteenth showed the highest losses
in the brigade. The First battalion lost
143 killed and wounded out of 2s9, and the
Second battalion 1874 killed and wounded
cut 314. The deaths in both reached 102.
The loss was the highest sustained by
any regiment in the fight, and the remark
able thing about it is that it was incurred
ia that brief struggle in the cedars lasting
about twenty minutes. The heavy proper
ton of deaths to wounded was also re-
markable. Ordinarily the killed outright
are to the wounded about rs to 5, and the
killed and MORALLY wounded about as to
