But Lincoln was not permitted to
live, and other policies prevailed; poll
cies which for generation distracted
our country. The tragedy in Ford's
theater in Washington aroused all of
the malevolent passions of the people.
They were clamorous for vengeance, de-
manding the lives of Mr.. Davis, every
member of his cabinet and all of his
general officers.
It was known that Mr.. Davis was
travelling in a southwestern direction,
and under orders from Sherman two
expeditions were sent out from Macon
by Gen. James II. Wilson in pursuit;
one to scour the left, the other the
right bank of the Ocmulgee river; one
under command of the lieutenant
colonel of the First Wisconsin cavalry,
Henry Harnden, the other under COM
mand of Col. Pritchard, of the Fourth
Michigan cavalry. Harnden started on
the 9th and Pritchard on the 9TH of
May, 1865. On the afternoon of May 9
these commands met at Abbeville, Ca,
compared notes and continued the pur-
suit by different routes.
1t was learned along the lines of
march that Mr.. Davis and his party
were encaaped within a mile of Irwin.
vile, and small detachments from each
command sl-srred ahead of their com
rades, all endeavoring to outride each
other and have the glory of capturing
the fugitive chieftain. The result was
that in the early morning before the
capture of Mr.. Davis these federal
troops fired into each other, causing the
deaths of two men and the serious
wounding of several others.
Col. Pritchard reached Irwinville aft
er midnight of May 9 and found a negro
boy who could guide him to the Davis
camp. When within half mile of the
camp Pritchard sent one of his lieuten-
ants, named Purinton, with Is dis
mounted men, to go to the rear Of the
camp, with instructions to wait until
break Of day to make the capture.
Capt. Lawton, of the Fourth Michi-
gan cavalry, writing of the event, says:
AT daybreak the order was whispered
along the line to make ready to enter.

Judge Bum. of st. Paul, decides that
private elevators are not amenable TO-

case against the Cargill company the
court finds that the elevator was used
for the purpose of storing and hand

that of other persons, and that, there

it is valid SO far as it relates to public

Wasn't it grand" was the verdict of
all. Everybody wanted to see and hear
Sousa and his band, and pretty nearly
everybody was present; at any rate it was
one Of the largest audiences that ever
packed the Bellows Falls opera house.
Large delegations were present from all
the surrounding towns and nearly every
seat was occupied.
As to the concert itself each number on
the program was gem and each member
of the company an artist. Applause was
frequent and hearty ard one and two
encores were given after each selection.
1t was musical entertainment of high
merit, and yet not above the apprehension
OF popular audience.
The public is indebted to Manager j. E.
Brosnahan for the splendid entertainment
of last evening. 1t takes enterprise and
grit and thorough knowledge of what
the people appreciate and will patronize
to bring an organization like Sousa's band
to town the size OF Bellows Falls, and
make it a paying venture. Mr.. Brosna-
han has all these qualifications.
