Capt. Ira B. Gardner, who attended
the G. A. r encampment with the
veterans from Maine, related a most
interesting story TO a reporter shortly
before his departure for his home In

Il lost my arm at the battle OF Oc-

while serving under Gen Sheridan
Immediately after 1 was wounded l

laid in a hallway TO await the arrival

the woman Of the house for a pillow,
for which 1 gave her S. In due time
the surgeons arrived and performed
the operation, and / was sent 10 Win

turned TO my home
Last year my wife and came
down to Virginia and looked over the
battlefield at AccOQuan Creek, where
I was so seriously injured. While
walking about I found the house IN
which 1 was laid after being wounded,
ard the woman who ministered to my
wants and gave me the pillow 1 be
gan TO talk 10 her about the war, and
she said that although there had been

in her house only one had ever given
her any money. She said that IL she

been laid thirUy-seven years before,
and pointed out stains which, she
said, were caused by my blood The
