cents more day after June LIST, and grant

ward the bridge before a few shots
were fired, the temptation of the heads
peering over at the train probably be-

Ihey were at once replied to, and be-
fore we realized what was happening
the train was between two lines of
some 1000 fighting men, separated by
less than quarter of a mile, and

Shift For Himself.
In this condition the train stopped in
the goods station, and everyone was
left to shift for himself. There were
of course, no pOrters or officials of any
sort; there was nowhere for the pas
sengers to go. Bullets were coming
freely through the shed, and a few
hours later our train was itself the
main point of attack the two opposing
forces fighting between the wheels and
