to enlist as a drummer boy. After the
close of the war he moved to South Bend
and took up the trade of a machinist. Later
on in life he became the superintendent
of a manufacturing concern in South Bend
He was married March 80, 1870, to Miss

Senator Burns was prominent in political
life as friend of labor interests. He was
regarded a leader in the fight against
the garnishee bills in the Senate and was
tions banded together to defeat the bills.
Senator Burns served throughout the
civil war with distinction. He gained a
commission as first lieutenant by a remark
able act of heroism during the stormy
days of 1863. At that time he was not
eighteen years of age. His regiment the
Tenth Wisconsin, had been chasing Con-
federate force south and was hard on the
heels Of the rebels when the Chattahootchie
river was reached. By the time the Union
army had reached the swollen river the
Confederates had crossed on a pontoon
bridge and swung the bridge over to their
side. There was no way to follow the en-
emy unless the pontoon bridge could be
swung back to the side of the river on
which the Union army was camped. A
volunteer was called for to swim the river
to cut the rope which held the bridge and
so give chance to haul the bridge back
across the river. Private Burns modestly
volunteered for the dangerous service on
account of his extreme youth he was at
first rejected, but the young man pleaded
so nard tndt nnally ne was accepted.
DEED OF HEROISM.
One dark night, with a rope around his
waist, the young soldier plunged into the
rapid river and struck out for the bridge.
For an hour nothing was heard by those
waiting anxiously for his return Finally
tug of the rope trailing out into the dark
ness of the river told them that the boy had
accomplished his dangerous mission. They
pulled with will, and the big ugly pontoon
swung slowly back into place. In an in
conceivably short time the Union troops
were charging over the bridge upon a sur
prised enemy. After sharp fight the Con-
federates were routed and captured.
The lieutenant'S commission came first
but IL paved the way TO the captains. with
which Mr.. Burns was rewarded later The
senator seldom mentioned this act of hero
ism, and ii became public only through the
records of the Wisconsin regiment to which
he was attached.
Senator Burns was an ardent Republican
all his life. For Senator Charles w Fair
banks he had a deep liking. One of the
proudest moments of his life was in deiv-
ering a speech seconding the nomination of
Senator Fairbanks on the floor of the State
senate Just before he died yesterday ne
asked Senator Barlow to have four COPIES
made of the speech, and with his last
strength he affixed his signature to the
copies They were given to his children
by the fathers hand.
