toward the capture of the daylight
desperadoes. The public is beginning
to murmur at the apparent delay. One
reason given for the slowness is the
fact that the county is practically
without ready funds. and those in au-

should take the initiative in the hunt,
as It is most deeply financially inter
ested. H. b. Sage, of the state of

The manoeuvering and fighting FRI
day was far the most spectacular and
exciting of the campaign. The day
of the second problem had developed
nothing but. rear guard action on
the part of Grant, while Gen. Bell had
spent his time endeavoring to make a
demonstration on the left wing or to
take the south Of the blue line. Dur.
ing the night the situation was
changed. Gen. Grants main position
remained the same, behind or to the
east of Bull Run. He withdrew his
first brigade. under Gen. Wint, who
had fought the rear guard action the
day before to the famous stone bridge
across Bull Run, along whose eastern
shores the trenches dug by the fed
eral troops still remain, and in which
Gen. Grant posted Gen. Wint's line
after 1t had been driven across the
bride with the loss of one brigade.
Gen. Bell executed a magnificent
march with the forces which the day
before were on the left wing of his

small hours of the night. from the left
to the right of Grants position. When
daylight came they were put across

the fighting of the day began. The
brown forces charged up to the bridge,

A second charge likewise did not meet
the approval of the umpires. but the
third was accomplished by most bril-
liant action. A part of the brown
force. section of the 9th infantry
had delayed In the woods, gone down
stream and waded across. They crept
up on the east bank. and got In posi-
tion not 20 yards behind the blue de-
tenders when the Sth Massachusetts

the charge on the west side came up
the third time. II did not take the UNI
pires second to rule out the entire
blue force at this point, and the brown
army crossed at Bull Run at will.
In the meantime the force which
had crossed to the north, at Sudley.
had been coming down toward the hill
and the pike. They struck Grants
line to the rear, and the vancouver
ended when this force appeared in a
flanking movement on the blue line,
