HE BAKED A DEAD SHELL.
Daring Feat of German Soldier In
Corcoran's Glover Field.

COrCOrdns = Clover ield.
One of the "oldesl inhabitants of Wash
ington related the following war story last
night at The Times oliice. II has never
been in print and, as the reiator escaped
court martial and shooting as part OF
The story, it still has a living historical
interest.
Thechroncle deals with the putting of IAN
old she'll" found in the Eastern branch,
into a dutch oven To test its vitality and the
consequences.
Mcclellan was in command of the forces
in this city in the early part of 1861, one
OF the regiments being that OF Colonel Baker,
l 500 strong, which pitched its tents in
Corcoran's old clover field near the present
Graceland Cemetery.
Bakeries for the army had not then been
established, so that bread was baked by
a detail of men from each company. one
of the bakers for Colonel Bakers regiment
was a German. A shell was found about
that time near the edge of the Eastern
branch, and ii occurred TO this German
that it would be good thing TO see
whether it was alive, and the happy thought
struck him to make the test in his oven
The test was made, one man was killed
outright. another had his leg blown off and
the whole camp was Immediately III an
uproar.
This "oldest inhabitant'' had been to
visit a dying friend in the old infirmary
which was then just back of the city hail.
and struck the camp going back home Just
as the explosion took place. Being the only
ununiformed person around, they seized
him, and We're bout to deal summarily with
him for blowing up the camp when he
begged an hour delay. This he secured, and
proved an alibi, which was satisfactory
in addition to the confession of the German
baker, who had been the cause OF the eX-
plosiOn and the arrest.
From that time oni tdtbe close of the war
it is said there waS standing order in
Col. Bakers regiment that only bread
should be baked in the government ovens.

Think not of the vows you broke, think

Let the sky seem clear again, dark since

Come and hear me swear to you we were

Take an hour OF all the hours 'twixt the

Let us think life good to US for the time we

Cheap Cow and Hog Feed.

The Fine Bluff Mill & Elevator Co. has on hand large quantity of corn bran which it will sell at wholesale or retail at q very low price. Corn bran makes an excellent feed for hogs when soured and fed as swill. It is as effective for cattle and can be bought for less than half the price of corn. The low price of cattle and hogs this season make it impera- tive forstock raisers to obtain feed at the lowest values and all parties en- gagged in the line will do well to call upon or write the Mill & Elevator Company for prices. 12-15 sw If.
