A Day in the Bloody Angle"

May -, 1864, Hancock's veterans
stormed and carried the famous salient
angle at Spottsylvania. The order for
this desperate assault, and the re-
nowned motto, I'll fight it out on this
line if it takes all summer" were die
tated by the general-in-chief at about
the same hour. The divisions of Bir-
nev and Barlow marched all night in
the darkness and fog without guides or
directions, and at daybreak, the fog
still on, Barlow sought in vain for in
formation as to the position and ground
on his front. Concluding that his di-
vision had been doomed to a forlorn
sacrifice, he gave the order to advance.
Shortly the men saw through an open
ing in the woods the red earth of the
Confederate salient, and, breaking into
double-Quick, rushed to the attack
with wild hurrahs. Tearing away the
abatis, they sprang over the parapet
and clu 5bed or bayoneted the defenders,
cutting off 900 men, with their gen.
eral officers, three batteries, with horses
and caissons, and thirty battle flags.
All formation had been lost in the rush,
and in mobs the assailapts pushed for
ward until stopped by a strong second
line across the base of the angle. There
Hancock's men were soon joined by the
Sixth Corps, and the furious battle, which
gave the salient its terrible celebrity,
continued for day and half the night.
L. A. Grant, the leader of the Vermont
Brigade, described it as not only des-
perate struggle, but literally hand
to-hand fight Nothing but the piled
up logs or breastworks," he says, sep
arated the combatants. Our men would
reach over the logs and fire into the
faces of the enemy, would stab with
their bayonets; many were shot and
stabbed through crevices and holes be-
tween the logs; men mounted the
works and with muskets handed them
kept up continuous fire until they were
shot down, when. others would take
their places and keep up the deadly
work. II was there that the celebrated
tree was cut off with bullets; there that
the brush and logs were cut to pieces
and whipped into basket stuff. The
sight was terrible. Exchange.

true of shops owned and managed by

cases of meas shops IN which women ire

are some flowers in the window and a

The Decision in the stack pole Ii aIIahan
Case Reserved.
Col. O'Leary returned yesterday morn
ing from Deer Lodge, where he had been
presenting to the court the defense in the
election contest of Stackpole VS.. Halla-
han. The case came up for hearing and
arguments were made by Attorneys
Rodgers and Trippett for the plaintiff
and Attorneys Smith and O'Leary for tho
defense. No witnesses were produced
and the findings were made by stipuIa-
ton. The plaintiffs admitted as facts
that Hallahan was nominated by n COM
mittee of the populist convention and
that that committee had been empowered
by the convention to fill all va
cancies occurring on the ticket. Also
that Hallahan had plurality of 2i0 votes
for the treasurcTship. But the plaintiffs
contended that the nomination papers
had not been filed according to law. and
therefore Mr.. Hallahan should not have
the Office. The case OF Price VS.. Lush
was cited authority, a somewhat
similar case which went to the supreme
court from Marysville.
The dcieuse he'd that under the consti-
tuition, which says that the candidate hay
ing a plurality of the votes cast shall be
declared elected, the Office should be
awarded TO Hallahan. That the general
laws declare that no candidate shall be-
deprived of his office on technicalities,
