EMERSON, Neb., May 17-(special Tele-
gram. )--This has been an exciting day for
Emerson. At this morning the train
crew OF a passing freight discovered a
building on FIRE. They blew their engine
whistle, someone started a bell going
and woke the people at the hotels who
gave the alarm. Soon the whole town
was aroused.
For time It looked as though the busi-
ness part OF the town was doomed, as
Emerson has no water works, but by
energetic and active work the flames were
soon brought under control. The resi-
dence of Herbert Assman and the black
smith shop of Frank Doyle were burned.
The Assman family did not wake until
the house was filled with smoke and when
they got out to the street their little boy,
aged T. was missing. The father rushed
back but was unable to find the child
and only escaped with his life after being
severely burned. After daylight the char
red remains OF the boy were found In the
ruins and It Is supposed he must have
crawled under the bed.
The ire was evidently of incendiary
origin and Joe Bird, notorious character
about town is suspected. He had been
heard to make threats that he would
burn OUT certain parties. There was talk
of a rope and a telegraph pole for Bird
and people gathered in excited groups
Bird was locked In the village Jail but the
village authorities being afraid the en-
ragged people would take sovereignty hustled
him quietly of to Pender.

No battle Of any war more forclbly
than Gettysburg illustrates the truth
that officers at distance from the
field cannot, with any wisdom, at
tempt TO control the movements of
troops actively engaged, says Cen
John b. Gordon in Scribner's On the
first day neither Gen. Early nor Gen.
Ewell could possibly have been fully
coGnizant of the situa ton at the time
| was ordered to halt.
The whole OF that portion of the
Union army in my front was in in
eXtricable confusion and in fight.
They were necessarily in fight, for
my troops were upon the flank and
rapidly sweeping down the lines. The
firing upon my men had almost ceas-
ed. Large bodies of the Union troops
were throwing down their arms and
surrendering, because in dlsorganized
and confused masses they were wholly
powerIess either to check the move
mCut or return the fire.
AS far down the lines as my eye

retreat. Those at distance were still
resisting, but giving ground and it
was only necessary for me to press
forward in order to insure the same
results, which invariably follow such
flank movements. In less than one.
half hour my troops would have swept
mp and over those hills, the possession
of which was of such momentous con.
sequences.
1t is not surprising with full real.
ization of the consequences Of a halt
that 1 should have refused at first to
obey the order. Not until the third OF
fourth order of the most peremptory
character reached me did l obey.
think l should have risked the conse
Quences Of disobedience even then. but
for the fact that the order to halt was
accompanied with the explanation that
Gen. Lee, who was several miles
Gettysburg.
1t is stated on good authority thai
Gen. Lee said, some time before hi!
death, that if Jackson had been there
he would have won in this battle {
great and possibly decisive victory.
cannot vouch for the truth of thi
statement, as | did not hear it, but n,
soldier in a great crisis ever wished
more ardently for a deliverer'S hanC
than l wished for one hour of Jackson
when | was ordered to halt
