front in about eighty battles. The
most important Of the battles were:
Siege of Yorktown, Antietam, Kelly's
Ford, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg,
Gettysburg, Hanover Courthouse. Old
Harbor and Petersburg. - 49,
The Berdan regiments were picked
bodies and the requirements for enlist
ments were strict: The applicant had
to be able to shoot ten successive shots
at 200 yards and have them all within
a circle of eight inches. d ......-
Some Of the most unique things about
this regiment was that they wore green
uniforms with black buttons, instead Of
the regular blue. This made them IA
nous, and they were always recognized
by them. They were the first men in
the civil war to use the breach-loading
rifle. &

! Question Of Widows Pensions.
This auxiliary body has for several
questions with which the Union Vet
erans' union is concerned. One Of the
principal matters to come before the
session this year is the report on the
question Of widows pensions. The Ia
dies are, earnestly, at work preparing
to bring such pressure to bear upon
congress as will result in giving the
widows Of veterans an uniform. pension
of $l2. per month"; at present the
are purely arbitrary and in many cases
unjust. 49,
Mrs. Ida Bogia Roe Of Washington

body, and is presiding over it's deliber
ations. The other officers are:

T No Connection with Grand Army.
The sessions Of both the bodies her
referred to were held last year a

time with the Grand Army Of the Re
public, and in this respect they ar
public so as to take advantage Of tn
reduced railroad rates. They have n
connection whatever with the Gran
Army Of the Republic and in this re
spect they are unique among the We
rious organizations auxiliary to tina
body which are meeting in tn

the Union Veterans union dabble
in politics prevents it from fraternizins

 Sors'lls' Gambling Crusade.
 Back of Mir. Sorrells' action Sat urday lies story already familiar to most newspaper readers in Pine Bluff. Several weeks ago he had client who wished to recover some money claimed to have been lost In an alleged gambling house in the city. Failing to recover the money for his client, the attorney declared eternal warfare against the gam bling fraternity. He filed informa- tion with Justice Cheek, had the of ticers raid several places, secured a burning order and publicly destroy ed hundreds of dollars worth of gambling paraphernalia.
 Since that time, and until Satur- day morning, nothing more had been done in the matter. The in cideDt was almost forgotten. when suddenly Mir. Sorrells created anoth- CT sensation by having the officers visit Mir. Wells place, where it Is alleged they secured the "crap" ta- ble burned Saturday morning.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-12-16

Charged with being the nroprie- tor of gambling house over ils saloon at the corner of Main stree, and Second avenue, MT. John F.. Wells, one of the best known saloon men in the city, was served with warrant of arrest Saturday after noon
 MT. Wells arrest followed anoth- CT rather sensational raid by the officers Saturday morning, where, on information filed by Hon. w. B. Sorrells, the constabulary and police officials visited the place and secur- ed possession of a table, alleged to have been used as "crap" table This was taken in possession and hauled to the court house, in front of which a public bonfire was made of the alleged gambling parapher- nalia, after MT. Sorrells had secur- ed a burning order from Justice L. F. Cheeks court
 The officers state there were two men in the room at the time they entered it, but say no game of any kind was in progress.
 Gambling Must Go, Says Sorrells.
 In an interview with MT. SOrrells while officers were engaged in burn ing the captured table, that gentle man said:
 "I promised the people of Pine Bluff several weeks ago that gam bling in this city should cease, so far at least as the open houses are
