Soldiers Raid n Gamblers House because
He Assaulted Comrade


CHICKAMAUGA. Ga, June 13-An
incident occurred yesterday at Lytle
the camp station, that Will probably ter
inmate the existence Of Illicit whisky
shops and gambling dens which up TO
this time have been permitted TO ply
their business by the Georgia authori-
ties without let or hindrance. A private
Of the Twenty-first Kansas who had
been drinking at the whisky dive Of one
Joe Baker, became involved In a diSi-
Guilty with the barkeeper. Blows follow-
ed, and Baker drew a revolver firing
point blank at the soldier. the bullet it
was claimed by the soldier, striking him
above the eye. innictng a wound which
may cause it's loss. The name of the
soldier Will be supplied soon.
The fight attracted the attention Of
the throngs on the streets OF the mush-
room town, and soon a crowd of soldiers
rushed IN. Baker, fearing further trou-
BILE, had got out OF the way A large
body of soldiers formed with the pur-
pose OF handling him severely and
avenglhg the injury 70 their comrade,
and for awhile It looked as If there
would be serious trouble. An armed
guard, however, was quickly detailed
by order Of General Brooke, who took
charge OF Baker and his place, and or
der was soon restored. The soldier was
taken TO the division hospital. where the
surgeon investigated his injuries. He
found wound as indicated. but thought
the injury had been caused by a bit OF
broken glass and not by a bullet, a
splinter OF glass being found sticking IN
the eyeball. After the shooting a num-

THE STARS AND BARS.
some Diverting History OF the FIaE
Adopted bs the con-
federacr
----.--'

The flag OF the confederacy, OF.
rather, the flags of the eonfederacy, had
lome curious bits OF history attached to
their brief existence. On March 5, 1861,
the provisional confederate congress
recommended that "the flag of the con-
iederate states of America shall consist
Of red feld, with white space extend
Ing horizontally through the center,
and equal in width TO one-third the
width Of the flag.
The red spaces above and below 10
be of the same width as the white. The
union, blue. extending down through
the white spaces and stopping at the
lower red space; In the center Of the
union circle Of white stars CORE
spending in number with the states OF
the confederacy." 1t was first dis
played in public March 4, 1861, the day
of the Inauguration Of Lincoln, and
was unfurled over the state house at
Montgomery, Ala.
On the battlefield the flag bore such
similarity to the union flag that in
September, 1861, for the army Of the
Potomac, Gems. Beauregard and John
ston created what afterward became
known as the battle fag-R red ground
with blue diagonal cross embAzoned
with white stars, one for each state.
This form was adopted by all OF the
troops east Of the Mississippi river. The
first design bearing tho objection OF
resemblance to the stars and stripes,
and the battle flag having no reverse,
the confederate senate, In April. 1868,
adopted a white flag. with broad blue
bar IN its center; amended by inserting
the battle fiag design as the union, with
plain white ground for the field. This
arrangement afterward proved faulty,
as at distance the large white field
resembled flag OF truce. also as com
bined with the union was similar TO the
English white ensign.
On February 4, 1865, tho confederate
senate adopted a third change-"phC
width. two-thirds OF its length; with
the union, now used as battlefag, tc
be in width three7hfhs of the width o.
rhe flag. and so proportioned as TO leave
the length Of the field on the side OF th'
union twice the width below it; TO hay'

to bo ground, and the bailding OF this
mill and the plant. or machinery, meant
more money invested. The millers had
to be paid, coopers had TO be paid for
making the barrel, and, OF course, the
wood Of which the barrels we're made
