While CALAMITY leading a charge up
Bunker Hill Saturday afternoon the
mount Gpon which Major McDougall
was riding took offense at the noise and
confusion and began to do some high
somersaults in the air. This kind OF
warfare was too much for the major

pital, where he received good care and
was soon able to be around camp again.
