A CHASE AFTER MILK.
Curious War Experience Of a Union
Soldier Who Lately Passed
Away.

In noting the death of Ashley
Chase, a pioneer citizen of Kansas,
the Cawker City Record gives the fol-
lowing account of war experience
had by that gentleman:
ION April L.. 1868, Chase was a SOL
der in the Seventh Kansas cavalry,
and stationed at Germantown, Tenn,
IS miles east of Memphis. One day, in
company with a comrade, Chase went
tc farmhouse after some milk, and
while there was surprised and cap
tured by the confederate picket and
taken to their headquarters. He
expected to be shot, as the Kan
sas Jayhawkers received no mercy
from the enemy. He was taken
out into the timber for that purpose,
hut the leader of the party recog-
nized him as one of a party which
had captured him, the confed-
crate, three weeks before, and who
had escaped. Chase was then taken
to their main camp, 20 miles distant.
He was cautioned by one of his guard
to keep quiet on the identity of his
regiment. An officer invited him to
play checkers. and was beaten by
Chase. The defeated officer called
others to come and beat this -
Yankee but he vanquished them all
III the game. He was ordered to ac-
company Gen. Chalmers command,
and was in constant danger, because
H. was learned that he was a. Jay
hawker. and the men were anxious
to kill him. The provost marshal,
learning that he was from his own
county in New York, took some in
terest in him and protected him. He
was imprisoned at Atlanta. and aft
erward in Libby prison at Richmond,
and was later exchanged at City
Point, thence going to Fortress Mon
roe, then to St. Louis, visited his
Kansas home, and rejoined his regi-
ment at Corinth, Miss. after Journey
irg 1000 miles. AS he entered camp
his comrades inquired: Did you get
your mill? ''

A ROADSIDE CRAVE.
Mystery of 1t Was Cleared Up By q
Brother Of Its Unfortunate
a Occupant.

'The queer things that happened in
the army" said the doctor, according
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, ''would fill
a volume as large as Webster's un-
abridged. In the Tullahoma campaign
of 1868 there was not muchheavy fight
ing, but there was great deal of
rapid maneuvering that brought on
unlocked for skirmishes between
picket lines and advanced posts. In
marching through the bottom lands,
just before we reached Manchester,
we found newly-made grave at the
roadside and there was much specu-
lation as to how the man buried there
in had been killed.
ION a pine board at the head of tho
grave was cut the name of a member OF
the Third Kentucky infantry, c. S. A.,
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1903-05-21

with regimental and company des-
ignation. AS some of the boys lounged
about the grave a member of the Third
Kentucky union regime ntcame up and,
his eye catching the number on the
pine board, he walked up close to in-
vestigate and said: Great Scott-my
name and my regiment!' Seeing there
the c. S. A., he said: Boys, I believe
that is my brother. He enlisted in
Kentucky confederate regiment ten
days before l enlisted in the Third
Kentucky union. 1 am going to open
the grave
1.-The boys ran for picks and shov-
els, and in ten minutes the dead body
of a man in confederate uniform was
uncovered and was identified as that
of the brother of our Third kentucky
friend. The living brother in the
union service stood for many minutes
looking down into the face of the dead
confederate, not one of the men in
the group saying a word. Then, at a
sign from the captain, the grave was
retilled, more distinctly marked, and
the command moved on.
ION the same campaign, when our
regiment had the advance, there was
a sharp skirmish in the brush and our
boys supposed the rebs had retreated
when they saw not 800 yards away q
head thrust out of the brush and quick
~ withdrawn. In minute the head
came out again and again, and, sus-
pecting an ambush, the skirmishers
opened fire on the thicket and charged.
They found they had killed boy not
more than ~ years old, who had been
sent out from his home not so yards
away to give the union troops warm
ing Of heavy cavalry force moving
on parallel road. The boys grieved
more over the shooting of that boy
than over the hundreds of men killed
at Chickamauga."
