Eve fell back again, but Capt. Sam
Wright's battery and some OF our cav

reached the Lynchburg road and rode
westward as fast as jaded horses
could carry them. Late in the after
noon Sheridans cavalry overlook us
and our battery went into position,
fired few rounds, which halted the
enemy and enabled us TO reach Lynch

1865.
Dart was color guard of the Thir-
tieth Iowa on Sherman's famous
march to the sea. When the troops
arrived near the confederate capital
Dart, accompanied by the lieutenant
colonel of the regiment and few 9th
ers, entered the outskirts of Columbia,
with colors flying. The streets were
lined with confederate soldiers, prin-
cipally the southern troops of cavalry,
who had been expecting an assault up
on the capital for days. When the
small squad of unionists appeared the
confederates thought the entire union
army must be near, and fed in great
haste and disorder. At the capitol
building Dart PISSED the guards and
climbed to the roof, where he swung
the stars and stripes to the breeze
from the staff on the top Of the build
ing.
Darts deed has a prominent place in
the records and the histories of the
Army of the Tennessee, and is men
toned as one of the most brilliant
acts OF the campaign.
Among his keepsakes Mr.. Dart
highly treasures and prizes a little
faded rag, which Is all that is left OF

tain, III believe they were caused
largely by nervous exhaustion or pros
tration resulting from some form of
indigestion. In battle men were com
PEELED to go without coffee, to gulp
their ill-prepared food down under ex-
citement, and they were not them
selves. The panic in Sheridan's army
at Cedar creek came before breakfast
and when men were relaxed. The
panic at Stone river carried away men
who had been under battle strain for
two days, and who had not had oppor-
tunity to eat nourishing meal IN all
that time. The panic at Chickamauga
occurred after a weeks hard march
ing, and after nearly two days fight
ing.
"There was panic at Shiloh after
all the fighting was over that was one
Of the queerest things on record. On
the morning of April s, after it was
known that the confederates had re-
treated, q man in front found an un-
exploded shell, and heedlessly hurled
1t at a tree. 1t exploded with terrific
noise and killed six men. The out
come was so unexpected, so horrify-
Ing, that the soldiers ran blindly
away. Seeing them run, others hear
ing the noise and getting no explana-
tion, ran after the first squad. See
ing o great number of men running
to the rear, the teamsters and artil-
lerists hurriedly hitched up horses
and mules, SO as to be ready for an
emergency.
$50 the panic grew, and it continued
long after the originators of the
stampede turned back to their camp.
| Whole regiments became involved,
and our brigade, posted some distance
| In the rear, saw crowd of panic
stricken men charging down upon us.
Capt. 0rton Frisbie, in command of
our battalion, hurriedly formed his
men In line to stop the stampede.
Confronted by line Of bayonets, the
men, who had been running, halted,
but insisted on going through the
| line.
| "All were scared, but not one could
| tell what had happened. Two men
supporting third asked that they be
| permitted to go to the hospital in the
| rear. In answer to questions they
sta ted that the man they were sup
| porting had been severely wounded in
| the leg just above the knee. Frisbie,
| after a careful examination, said:
| Well, IL he was wounded, he must
have changed his pants since. he was
shot; there Is no bullet hole This
| jocular remark restored the nerve of
the men. They dropped all pretense,
laughed at their own fears and turned
back. The truth was they had been
at high nervous tension for three
days, and after the hard fighting, in
which thousands had been killed and
wounded, had been frightened by the
explosion OF one shell that killed six
| men,"
"If ever there was cause for panic" "
said an ex-confederate, "it was inside
our lines April Q, 1868, at Appomat-

Bros. G. Co., Machine Shop. Their
building makes an imposing appear
ance, and arouses cnc's curiosity to
know more about what is done by this
company, so we will endeavor to en-
tighten them. The company had its
origin in the company known as Pat
tin, Hall & Pattin, which came into
existence about 1883. This company
purchased the plant which had for
many years existed on the site Of
their present West Side Foundry and
Boiler Works. The Pattin Brothers,
W. S. and D. p, in 1895 bought out the
interest OF ]. G. Hall, and since that
time have been known as Pattin Bro
thers & Co. The growth of the busi-
ness has been phenomenal, necessitat-
ing the erection of their new plant on
Second street, to be run in connection
with their West Side plant. The cor
ner stone of this new building was laid
in August, 1899, and in November OF
the same year it was open for opera
tion. The building is very tall, two
story brick structure, having front
age of 61h feet on Second street, and
extending back 1856 feet. 1t is equip

as silk organdie. bebe ribbon, pearl

is composed, could be fashioned into a
garment of such dainty loveliness. 1t
