Instantly Mhoon said, Well. here goes, at the same time striking the guard with all his might sQuareiy between the eyes, knocking him down. The condemned man leaped over his fallen guard, and ran with all his might toward the Con- federate lines, which were in sight, and only a short distance away. He was clad only in his trousers. undershirt and stocking feet, and was hatless. The Fed erals began firing at him. and also did his own men, when they saw him running toward them in such plight, taking him for a Yankee. He quieted the Confeder- ate fire. by calling to them to stop shoot Ing, that 1t was "Mhoon." General Roddy fortunately being near. recognized him. He at once reported to General Roddy, how he had been captured and condemned to be shot, and asked for supply Of men at once. telling the Gen- eral that he could not only capture the small force of Yankees. but about the Confederate prisoners heing held there in the same jail. and that he could hb- crate them. if allowed to go with the men at once. The men were given him, and he did capture the Yankees. and among them was the guard whom he had so unceremoniously knocked down. His eyes were black. and he bore plain ly the mark of the blow Mhoon had giv- en him. This was one of the most dar- ing events of the civil war. and shows that James Mhoon was a fearless man and a good soldier.

Lawyers "Drumming" for Business.

Philadelphia Press.l :
 Representatives. of fifteen obscure law. yers called Tuesday upon Mrs. James Bonner. of 54c6 Lancaster Avenue, to in- duce her to begin suit for damages for the death of her husband, accidentally killed Monday night.
 Mrs. Bonner's husband was run ove- by a trolley car at Fifty-seventh Street and Girard Avenue, and just as soon as the "runners' flor .the lawyers learned tat this aceiHeiif had occurred they be- gan to ring the doorbell of the Bonner home.
 Each srunner" was anxious to point out the terrible character of Mir. Bou- ners death. apparently regardless Of the effect on the sorrowing woman. Their visits continued all day It is the custom of certain lawyers, the police say, to se- cure clients in this way. although solicit ing casesq is prohibited by the Bar As sociation. The police call these runners "ambulance chasers." because they watch hospitals and station houses. and just as soon as they obtain news of an accident hurry to the homes of the at- fiicted to secure cases on the pay basis of half the damages secured.
