A GALLANT DEED
How an Iristnan ,Capturned Nine
Yanks and Surrounded Them.

The captain is an old soldier and
well known character about town. HI
is fond of telling. stories, and l me-
him, together with number of friends
last evening. The captain had beer
drinking little and was telling a yarn
Z was ON picket duty that night"
heard him say, when | spied nine rebels
on their way toward our lines. They
were all armed, but I captured then
and marched them all into camp"
There was a pause for moment and
then some one asked: @How did you
capture nine men, captain?'
The captain was silent for a little
while, and then he said, with look Of
disgust on his face: sWeH, I-er-l
surrounded EN-, of course" - Albany
ON. I'd Journal.
In the original story the hero was an
Irishnlan, who was in the service of the
Confederacy He was as sober as a
judge (when not afulled up'). He was
on duty on the picket line when he saw
d squad of nine Yankees coming toward
the Rebel line. He hid in the brush,
and as the Yanks passed him he gave
4 terrific Rebel Yell, covered the Yanks
with his n1isket and demanded their
surrender Having compelled the Yanks
to lay down their arms, he surrounded
Them and then punched them as he
directed thsm to go on
How did you capture these fellows
inquired the amazed colonel Of his regi-
ment to whom he had reported with
his prisoners.
Aisy enough, was the reply. I
bluffed them into a surrender and as
! bsinched them surrounded them and
marched them into camp.
But how did you surrounded the1n?'
circled around them and told them
to go on or be shot, and here they are,
