Evolution of q Hero.

Ex-County Attorney w. B. Allin told
this war story: 1t was just before the
battle of Murfreesboro that detachment
of Morgan's command was guarding a
mountain pass few miles from Brady
Vile, Tenn. A portion OF the valley
leading to the pass was densely wooded
and swampy. The marshy ground
abounded in bullfrogs of huge proper
tions, and the trees afforded myriads of
owls of immense size a roosting place.
Among the soldiers was stripping from
near Stanford by the name of Spreeler.
1t was a gloomy, wild and windy night
that Spreeler was called upon to dc
guard duty. Along about l o'clock,
when the sky was of a leaden hue and
the wind sighed fitfully through the
trees, an owl on nearby limb hooted:
"Who-who-who are your"
John Spreeler" exclaimed the sen
tinel, trembling in his boots.
Just at that moment bull frog IN
deep bass tones seemed to say;
"Sur-sur-surround him.
"I'll be darned if you do, " exclaimed
Spreeler as he fred his musket anC
broke for camp, which had been thrown
into the widest confusion by the alarm
it being thought that the enemy was at
lacking the outposts. When the true
state of affairs was understood, the 9th
ers made life burden for John unit
the battle of Murfreesboro, when the
Lincoln county STRIPPING was promoted
for conspicuous bravery. He was after
ward assigned to Bragg's army and dice
like a hero at the battle above thu
clouds while in the forefront of thu
charge and trying to spike an enemy
cannon. --Harrodsburg (Ky.) Democrat
