Harris was supposed to be in

They had a 8 ID gun with
them and planted it just east of
what is now the Warren gravel
and about one half mile from
the school building, and opened
fire. Capt. Priests company
was hid in the draw west of the
gun on the See farm to prevent
flank movement on the gun.
About 3 o'clock in the after.
noon Col. Smiths men in the
lnstitu'a ran out of ammunition
and wanted TO surrender. but
Col. Harris was drunk and had
gone to sleep or some whe.e
else aud could not be found.
While the parley was On train

them.
The cannon was hid ia the

the soldiers disbanded. They
were practically without lead

the battle was conducted more
like free fight. every man for
himself than anything else. After
the boys in Blue left, one of
their number was found dead in
the northeast basement room of
the Institute. He had been
killed in battle or committed
suicide.
One Of the 9 Id balls was dug
