A Civil War Story.

The following extract from a letter
from Maj. Frank Holsinger, nominee
Of the Prohibition party for governor
to Capt, A. w. Sowle, Of Hutchinson,
Kas.. is sslf-explanitory:
s** Capt. Dobbs was a brave
man and good officer, will give you
a circumstance to prove it, aS it can
do him no harm. July 30. "a, he was
captured with my first lieutenant, Mix.
There were many officers OF colored
regiments captured that day. As they
were enumerated, all claimed to be-
long to their old regiments. AS there
were many colored soldiers captured,
the rebel Gen. Walker, of Texas Il
think), was on the alert Lieut.. Dobbs
told Mix that he was going to give his
regiment truthfully. Mix dissuaded
him, telling him he surely would be
killed II made no difference to D.
Change places with me, said D. to
NJ, and you can be governed with what
you see. So they exchanged places
in line. AS the rebel sergent asked D.
his name, rank and regiment, D, an
swered: L. D. Dobbs, first lieuten-
ant 10Th niggers, by Cod 'Ohl ho!
said the rebel sergeant, so you are a
niger officer. Yes, sir, said D.
Well said the sergeant, we will take
care Of YOU
Gen Walker stepped forward and
said: "Seargent. there is brave man.
Touch not hair Of his head. know
full we'll there were many officers of
colored troops captured, but this is the
only one having the nerve to tell the
truth. Treat him as a soldier and
gentleman! 1t is needless to say that
Mix gave his correct regiment, but to
Dobbs belongs the honor Of being the
first niger officer captured.
Pardon me for this DEPRESSION. |
think ii a good story, and Dobbs is en-
titled to the benefit Of it. | got II
from my lieutenant on his exchange.
