think / shot one man, for / saw his head up
above the pit and fired at it, and it went out
of sight suddenly.
A little after daylight division of Gen.
Longstreet's crept up to their skirmish-line,
and then with cheer started on charge on
the fort. Their artillery opened on us with
about Is guns. Our cannon opened on
them, and when within range the infantry
commenced. Still they kept on. In front
of the fort we had wire wound around
stumps. This bothered them good deal,
but did not stop them. They jumped into
the ditch and clambered up the side of the
fort.
Three stands of colors were planted on
the parapet but they were taken by us. A
number of men gained the summit, but
never got down alive. Our men took shells
and lit the fuses with matches, and tossed
them over into the bitches, where they
burst. The writer has talked with Gen.
Longstreet since the war, and he was much
surprised to learn that these were our shells.
He said that he saw them burst, and as he
thought they were badly aimed shots from
his own batteries, he sent orders to them to
stop firing.
One man got into the fort, and started to
come into the embrasure in front of the
gun. He got his hand on the gun and cried
Surrender" In an instant af.er, the gun
was discharged and he was blown to atoms
The rebs finally turned and fed, and our
cannon poured the canister into them until
they were out of sight.
Soon after, the rebels sent in flag of
truce and asked permission to bury their
dead. SO it was agreed that there should
be no more firing until 5 o'clock in the
| afternoon. We jumped out of our pits, and
so did the rebs, and we met half way and
had quite talk. / went around in front of

We have heard good news from Grant,
which gives encouragement to the boys. 1t
is reported that
BRAGG HAS BEEN WHIPPED
by Grant at Lookout Mountain, and that
reinforcements have been sent TO us. 1t is
the general belief that Longstreet will leave
before long. i hope it is so.

we get mail again. 1t has been a good
while now, more than two weeks, that we
have had no news from the North.
From one of the prisoners that we took
yesterday we learned that Longstreet had
made speech 10 them the day before, tell.
ing them that there were but few troops
in here, and all of them were conscripts jus
out, and he wanted them to make charge
on us and we would run. They tried tn,

them in small quantities.
THE ASSAULT ON FORT SANDERS.
Nov. so Oath day).-Yesterday was an
eventful day for us, and one which will be
mentioned in history. The rebels made
grand assault on the fort, but were driven
back with loss of 1000 men. The night
of the 2Sth the rebels advanced on our sklr-
msh-line, driving in or taking prisoners ali
that were on post at the time. There were
two out of my company.
During the darkness of the night they
dug rifle pits within 40 rods of our intrench-
ments and fort. was put on post as skir-
misher. We dug pits within 90 rods of
their line, and by morning had some
good pits to fight in.
As soon as it was daylight the firing COM
menced. We had put up pine boughs in
front. so that they could not see our heads,
and had a first-rate chance at them. 1

The skirmishers are constantly picking ut
each other, but it does no good to either side.
Day before yesterday the Colonel was stand

two hours
We have heard from the Major of the Cd

To-day there is plenty, for the rebs went
away so hurriedly that they left large guam

in taking.
The firing was very sharp until about
midnight, and from that time until daylight
only an occasional shot was fired, then all
was still. We all felt that the silence was
a sure sign that the assault might come any
minute. But one hour, and then two hours
passed, and finally one of the men in one of
the skirmish-pits got up slowly out of the
pit, and those nearest expected to see him
shot down.
When he had stood there two OF three
minutes, uniDjured, he called out, "Boys,
they've skipped" and he started on run
for the rebel lines. Immediately the others
came out of their pits, like SO many wood

A WICHITA MAN SHOT.

Willis Tucker, formerly we'll known
| colored mau of this city, WAS shot at
Oklahoma City Sunday, aud, from reports
received later, he is not expected to re-
| cover. The Gazette gives the details AS
| follows:
Yesterday afternoon John Taylor. the
porter at h. d. Davis saloon on First
street, shot Willis Tucker, barber doing
| business on California avenue near the
corner of Robinson street. Both parties
are coiored. although Taylor has such a
slight mixture OF negro blood that he
would readily be taken tor a white man.
The trouble arose over game of cards
which was in progress In the rear end OF
the barber shop. and in the excitement Of
jack pot Tucker knocked Taylor down
twice. Taylor evidently had been drink
ing and without waiting for an apology
lett the barber shop and went to II second
hand store or East Main street where he
invested 81 80 in Il 32-cailbre revolver.
Having fixed himself he returned to the
barber shop and demanded the return OF
his money from Tucker who was standing
in the doorway. Tucker made rush
nj Taylor aud the latter whipped out
his revolver and pulled this trigger until
he bad exhausted every cham Der. By this
time tue men had cliuched aud rolled into
the gutter, where Tucker, despite having
two bullet wounds 10 his body, beat ana
hammered Taylor most numerically I'M
til be was pulled off. Constable Charley
Clark by this time made nis appearance
and placed Taylor under arrest, and
Tucker WAS taken into the barber shop
for an examnatieD of his wounds by DR..

GAY JOE SEARS.

Joe Sears, who made SO many good
promises to his wife in this city few
weeks ago, is in trouble again. When Joe
was here he feigned the whitest kind of
innocence. and served notice on the report
ers that il they mentioned his troubles he
would sue the papers for damages. He
claimed to be very much wrouged man,
but 1t seems he is not from the following,
taken from the Arkansas City Traveller:
ION October 10 Mrs Sears Of Hutch
inson Came here and had warrants Issued
for her husband. Joe, and Mary Hubbard.
Charging them with adultery. Tue couple
learned that Mrs. Sears was in the city,
and skipped before the officer had chance
10 serve the warrants. Joe went north
aud Mary went south. Constable Gray
found Sears ut Wichita, aud arrested him.
but Mary he did not capture. Joe got out
OF that scrape by making good promises TO
his wife. She refused to appear against
him, and the case was settled by Joe
paying up the costs and agreeing
TO return to his wife and
baby and sin no more. However, Joe was
tickle. He ionged for Mary, and rs soon
AS he was free he, too, went south and
hunted up the cause of his trouble. They
remained in the beautiful land of the strip
several days, and Saturday night they re-
turned to this city. Tie ever watcbful
officers We're after them as soon as they
struck town, and during the evening a
warrant WAS served Gu Mary and she was
taken into Judge Parry's court and fined,
costs and all amounting to about $40. This
fine was paid, and the couple was Tree once
more. Sunday their troubles commenced
again. Sears was arrested BY the city for
illicit cohabitatioD, and later Mary was
also arrested on the same charge. she put
up her watch for her appearance this
morning. Sears thought he would get off
easy by pleading guilty, but Judge Nc
lntlre gave him the limit of the ordinance
and fined him 500. He couldn't pay this
assessment, and was committed.

FOUND SHAVING.


A young man, apparently about 10 years
old, was brought up from Enid night be-
fore last and conveyed from the depot to
the City hospital He was as pale Ms a
corpse aud so emaciated that he was
frig htful to look at After arriving at the
hospital he opened his eyes ouce and that
WAS the only sign of life IN him to an on
locker He is unconscious, or AT least I'M
able 10 talk, and as there ara no papers
about his person. it is impossible TO tell
who be is. where he originally Came from,
or anything else concerning him. All that
is known is that be was found IN d bunch
OF weeds on the prairie near Eaid. in his
present condition, Monday.
II is supposed that he ran out OF money
aud was sleeping in this bunch of weeds
when be TOOK sick with what Seems 10 be-
brain fever. II il not unlikely that he
was exposed 10 the weather since the
opening of the country. as no one saw him
about Enid since. Others allege tGat he
may have been in the weeds waiting for
the opening when lie became sick. His
lie is almost despaired OF and he will be
very lucky young man if he RECEIVERS.
