duties of a soldier that he soon rose to

his distinguished gallantry and by
his skill in military matters to the
rank of a major general I'm the confederate

Ninth viii probably be allowed all honor
due 1t. Judge ID. b. Mcconnell. of Logansport,
presented the claims of the Indiana re3i-
ment. He said the Ninth held its position
on Snodgrass hill during the two days
lighting The regiment was the last TO
leave the position, although not the last to
leave the field. The claims made by Judge
ODonnell were substantiated by the sur
vivlng captains and members of the regi-
ment, some of whom bore positive evidence
that they had seen hard fighting some
where. If not at Chickamauga- Snodgrass
hin was the scene of the hardest hgatng
during the battle, and in the erection OF
tablets and making Of maps the Ninth has
been designated as standing some distance
away
During the giving OF testimony witnesses
incidentally offered some little criticism of
the positions which have been given certain
tablets. The inference was that these tab
lets do not properly mark positions held
during the great battle. General Fullerton
made a statement TO the effect that the
talets were but temporary, being placed in
order to invite criticism. After the differ
ent positions have been definitely settled
tablets of a more substantial nature will
be placed. General Fullerton was very
anxious to obtain every word possible wnici
would add interest or information to the
history of the battle. Stenographic re-
ports were taken of all stories and incidents
which, with the correspondence in the case,
will be submitted in a report to the nation
