They k1aeel beside the dead and search
each pocket.
ghoul steals away from the dying camp
fire into the darkness and skulks and
creeps and crawls about in search Of
plunder. Every army has its human
hyenas. They may have fought brave
~ during the bcttle, but as night falls
and men cease their work of killing the
ghoulish instinct cannot be resisted.
They kneel beside the dead and search
each pocket. Their knees feel the earth
wet with blood, but they do not shrink.
Their hands touch gaping wounds and
are smeared with blood, but there is no
disgust. Whatever plunder they secure
is blood stained, but on the morrow
they will wash away the stains.
Here-this way-for Gods sake
give me water!"
It is wounded man who has heard
the ghoul moving about. No matter
whether he is a friend or foe, he may
yield plunder. The ghoul bends over
him and begins search. The wound
ed man may quietly submit, hoping at
least to be rewarded with water enough
to moisten his parched tongue and burn
ing throat. If SO, he is spared. If not,
strong fingers seize his throat and fasten
there until he is dead, or his own bay
onet may be driven into his heart.
And when the summer sun comes up
again hundred burial parties will be
scattered along this front, and thou
sand men will be busy digging the long
trenches into which the dead are to be
heaped. There will be no time wasted.
The dead will be picked up as fast as
possible and dragged or carried to the
trenches. No one will ask their names,
no one search their pockets. Side by
side, like sticks Of wood, heads all cne
way, and then a covering of dirt is be-
grudgingly given. Years later the
trenches hidden by brier and bush will
be opened, and the bones lifted out to
be carried to the spot where a single
monument must serve to cherish the
memory Of thousands. ,...

blackened bones are there today. Here,
where the brigades OF Hill moved over
the open ground to charge the troops Of
Seymour and Reynolds, the dead lie
thicker than they will in the streets at
Fredericksburg or on the slopes at Get
tysburg. There are no wOunded-at
least no voices cry out to US through the
darkness. Here the Federals had 80
pieces of artillery posted to command
the approach, and as the Confederates
advanced the slaughter was something
terrible. Sixteen hundred and eighty
dead men lie here in this open spot Of
five acres. They were struck down by
round shot, by bursting she'll and by
grape and canister. There are bodies
without heads, bodies without arms,
bodies which are but fragments. When
the burial party reaches this spot to-
morrow, they will name it ''The Butch
er Pen" and that name will cling to it
forevermore. Napoleon would have said
that no troops in the world could have
been advanced under that awful fire,
but from 4 o'clock to sundown the Con-
federates charged again and again, leav-
ing their dead nearer earthwork and
breastwork each time.
Here, where Porter massed 80 guns
at Alexander's Bridge in the vain hope
Of saving the center, the dead cannot be
gathered and buried for days. They are
not corpses, but fragments of corpses.
Arms and legs will be found amid the
branches of trees, and hands and feet and
pieces of flesh and bloody bones must
be raked up as if it were bayfield,.
Here, where General Cooke with his cav
airy charged one Of Longstreet's divi-
sions and was broken and shattered and
routed within five minutes, 500 horses
cover two acres of ground. Among them
are 800 dead and wounded troopers. 1t
was gallant charge, but it was made
in vain. Even by monday no man can
pass over that field without staining his
boots with blood. If corn grows here
in after years when men shall be at
peace, it will grow rank and tall, and
the rustic Of the stalks in the summer
wind will sound like chant in memory
of the dead.
1t is midnight. Mcclellan is moving
quietly to the rear, the Confederates
along his front watching, waiting,
sleeping. The wounded have almost
ceased to call out. The faces of the dead
have been made winter and more ghast-
ly by the bath of dew. And now the

A steam pipe had broken in one of the
rooms and a moment later the chill
dren were rushing pell-meu through
the halls and down the stairs shrek
ing with fear. They fell by dozens
and were trampled beneath hurried
feet until the stairs were covered with
unconscious bodies.
When the shrieking children fed
into the streets some one turned in
the alarm of fire and in a few minutes
the fire and police departments were
on the scene. The fireman soon re-

ANARCHY At ENID.
U. S. Land Commissioner Taken
from His Home.
And Threatened With Death by
Mob.
THE LAW is DEFIED.
Fears That Judge BurfOrd Will
Be Assassinated.

ENID, Ok, April 1o.--There is a most
deplorable condition of affairs in this
town. Friday United States Land
Commissioner Blair and others held a
quiet meeting TO discuss a way to
bring about consolidation of the two
Ends Saturday night his home was
surrounded by large mob of men,
his house broken open and the land
commissioners taken out and threat
ened with instant death if he did not
reveal the names of the men who at
tended the meeting. Although an
old man, Mr.. Blair defied the mob
and appealed to Federal Judge Bur-
ford for protection
Judge Burford was evidently aroused
over the outlawry that has been rum
ming riot here of late and in the
sternest language he commanded the
mob to dispense and turn Blair loose,
and if the civil authorities of Enid
and o county were not able to pre-
serve peace and afford citizens pro-
lection from 1awless mobs he would
call the federal troops at Fort Reno
to his assistance and would arrest and
prosecute every man who was en-
gagged in snch reprehensible work
The constitution guaranteed every
man the right of action and opinion,
and he ordered the mob to immedi-
ately dispense and permit Mr. Blair to
return to his home or they would
suffer the consequence
Later the same evening the mob re-
turned to Blair's Office, where his
wife was, dragged her out and treate d
her to the most shocking indignities-
Judge Burford immediately convened
the Federal grand jury and it is yet
in session Mrs Blair was summoned
before that body and is still on the
stand Blair spent the day in North
Enid for protection and yesterday
morning was escorted into town by
twenty deputies to enable him to
swear out warrants against his wo uld-
be murderers. The mob included
many of the leading citizens of the
town. There will be wholesale indict-
ments and no less than 100 arrests
George Orput of the Citizens bank
has been notified that he will be
strung up if he shows his head in the
town The lives of other citizens are
threatened. and there is no telling
when they will be shot down in cold
blood. Judge Burford says it is a
most startling state of affairs, and he
to crush out the lawless element
There is dread among the people
that he Will be assassinated by those
who are determined to kill or rule.

she drew a navy, but was knocked
down before she could use it. The
situation is now the most serious in
