THEY ARE FIRM FRIENDS:
Byrd Minter Saved Congress.
man stones Life.

Speaking of war times" said
Dr.. F.. P. Biggs a few evenings
ago, as he was enjoying a cigar
with a few friends in his Office;
reminds me of a little incident
in which congressman William
j. Stone of the first congress-
ioual district Of Kentucky and
Byrd Minter now living in the
FIatwoods in this county, were
prominent characters.
At the battle Of Cynthiana;
KY. Congressman Stone, who
was then a Confederate captain:
was wounded, and left on the
field In fact it was there he
lost his leg. Minter and a COM
panion, who were privates in
the Federal army came along
and discovered Stone. TIE
companion attempted to run
Stone through with his hayonet,
but Minter prevented it. As he
did this Stone covered his face
with his hands, and expected
sudden death. A second at
tempt was made which was
again frustrated, and drawing
his revolver, Minter told his
companion that If he made an
other attempt be would kill
him. Stone then uncovered his
face and asked family for a
drink ofwater. Minter took his
canteen off and placing it to the
parched lips, passed on.
They never met again during
the war. Stone kept the can
teen, on which were engraved
the simple words Byrd Minter.'
For several years Stone tried tc
locate his friend, the enemy
bat was unsuccessful .
When Stone was a candidate
for Congress in 1884, he was at
Mayfeld, KY. at court one day
and heard Minter's name called
while he was on the witness
stand. Acquaintance was at
ouce renewed, and although
Minter is a loyel Republican he
worked hald for, Stones cleo
ton. And he says that ever
now he can hardly resist the
temptation to return to Ken
lucky and work for Stone every
time he is a candidate. And
thus Congressman Stone, a Con:
federate captain, and a strong
Democrat, who is now serving
his fifth term in congress, and
who is a prominent figure in
National politics, and plain
farmer Byrd Minter, who was d
loyal Union private, a consis..
tent Republican, and little
known outside of his neighbor-
hood are firm friends. And it
shows the true soldier in Mr..
Minter."
