6RIGSDrS WAR STORIES
He was Run over by 800 cayaIrymen
The Girl at the Loom

]
When the wheels OF justicl
grind slowly at the police ccur
Judge Grigsby. the poet-philoso,
pher- -jurist, sometimes entertsinl
the crowd that gathers about hin
him with story telling. The Judge
has any nnmber of stories, all from
life. and covering a wide variety
Of topics. In the course of his
long experience as lawyer, soldier
and statesman, he has had large
experience with men and affairs
and his "reminiscences ale always
interesting.
This morning the Judge was
relating war stories. He ran away
from his home in La Fayettee
county, Missouri. at the age of
fourteen and enlisted in the Con-
federate army. At Helena dur
ing the siege of Vicksburg, 1868,
he was serving as orderly to Capt.
Collins who died recently and was
buried in Higginsville, Mo. 1t
was one of the proudest moments
OF his life when he dashed down
the line with a message to Gen.
Shelby. but the message was never
delivered for a bullet struck the
young messenger in the chin,
knocking him from the horse, then
came the YANKEE cavalery, rush
ing pell pell. The Judge says six
hundred horses passed over him
and he was picked up nearly dead.
1t was three months before he
could re-enter the service and he
bears the scar on his chin TO this
day.
On another occasion Soldier
Grigsby had an escape from falling
into the hands ofthe enemy.A party
of soldiers had stopped al a house
for dinner and Grigsby spied a
fair MAIDEN working at a loom.
His chivalrous instinct lead him to
invade the weaving room at once
and once there the charm of the
southern beauty held him entranc-
ed. 1t was a case of love at first
sight. They looked love and
talked it. The picture of the girls
hand resting on the loom is vivid
in the Judges memory, yet-he
says he didn't touch. Come on
Henry called a comrade, the
Yankees are coming" A party of
them were not 800 yards distant
but Henry fingered. What was
danger whea soft eyes looked
love to eyes that spoke again" At
the last moment, he darted from
the room, mounted his horse and
dashed away. The Yankees gave
chase but the rebels horse was too
feet footed. The Judge never
saw the girl again but her picture
is one that hangs on memory
walls"
The Judge relates a story of a
general who was asked Are you
going to take Lexington" and the
reply come, II don't know, but 1
think I'll take drink" He didn't
take Lexington.

JUDGE TEMPERS
JUSTICE WITH
MERCY TODAY

Markira Ahorman, an Armenian wom-
an, was arraigned IN the sixth district
court this morning for an assault on Fang
Lee.
II appeared that the woman had told
Miss Miss Mccormick, one Of the proba-
tion officers, that she committed the as
sault. and this established the fact that
she understood English: but whether she
feared the punishment might be after the
oriental custom OF severely Furnishing the
poor, or for some other reason. she would
make no plea. but stood as If she were
afraid or obstinate.
Judge Rueckert ordered a plea OF not
guilty entered, and held the woman in
500 bonds for trial on Friday
when Capt MowFy Informed Judge
Rueckert that the woman had three small
children needing her care, and that she
could not provide a bond, the judge or
dered that the woman be placed under the
care OF Miss Mccormick and Capt. Now
rs will see that she Is on hand on Friday
The story Of the assault Is that Fang
Lee, a Chinaman. has been annoyed by
the children of this woman. who pull down
the curtains of his laundry on Charles
street and otherwise cut up mischief. The
other day ne chased the children to their
home, and intended 10 ask the mother 10
keep the children away from him.
The mother saw him chasing the chill
dren, and II Is alleged met him and hit
him several times with the chamber Of
"a revolver The Chinaman says that her
men boarders assisted the woman, and
Capt. Mowry says that the bruises the
Chlnaman received would seem TO be more
more than the woman could herself have
inflicted.
